  • Three variants and one engine choice make the range

Chery has announced the pricing and features of its Tiggo 7 Pro medium SUV. There are three variants (Urban, Elite, and Ultimate) on offer with national drive-away prices spanning $39,990 to $45,990.

The Tiggo is an older model than the Omoda 5 launched in March this year. Chery’s Tiggo 7 Pro has been on sale in China, South Africa and other markets since 2021, and arrives in Australia ahead of an all-electric Omoda 5 due in 2024.

Under the Tiggo 7 Pro’s bonnet is a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine that is Euro-6 compliant and produces 137kW and 275Nm. Much like the Omoda 5, local listed outputs for our car are lower than Chinese-market cars (145kW and 290Nm) because "the Australian standard is different to the Chinese standard when it comes to measuring equipment."

The Tiggo's four-cylinder engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic that sends power to the front or all four wheels, depending on trim.

Size-wise, the five-seat Tiggo 7 Pro is close to a Volkswagen Tiguan and sits at the smaller end of the medium SUV spectrum. It measures 4513mm long, 1862mm wide, 1696mm tall and rides on a 2670mm wheelbase while packing a healthy 626L cargo space.

“The Tiggo 7 Pro is an effortlessly impressive vehicle that combines style, space, and safety to deliver a medium SUV that will prove the perfect fit for Australian families,” said Chery Australia managing director Andy Zhang.

Inside is plenty of technology, as you’d expect from a Chinese newcomer. Chery’s excellent voice assist features, as does a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity, and LED headlights.

The Tiggo 7 Pro has eight airbags and 18 driver assistance technologies, including AEB, lane-trace assist, driver-attention monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more. Chery has not yet put the Tiggo 7 Pro forward for ANCAP testing.

Like the Omoda 5 small SUV, the Tiggo 7 Pro is backed by a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia.

Next to an entry-level non-turbo Hyundai Tucson ($35,150), Mazda CX-5 Maxx ($36,110) Toyota RAV4 GX ($39,760 all before on-road costs), and the Honda ZR-V VTi X ($40,200 drive-away), the Tiggo 7 offers more spec-sheet substance for similar or less money though the proof will be in how it drives.
