MAY LAUNCH FOR TIGGO 7 PRO
CHERY Malaysia’s Tiggo 7 Pro is set to further stir up the competition when it is officially launched at the end of next month. The company has hinted that the five-seater sport utility vehicle (SUV), which is now open for booking, will be competitively priced below RM130,000.
It is the fourth model to be launched as part of Chery Malaysia’s lineup and will be offered alongside the larger Tiggo 8 Pro, the Omoda 5 and the Omoda E5 electric vehicle (EV).
The Tiggo 7 Pro boasts a length of 4,513mm, width of 1,862mm and standing height of 1,696mm, with a wheelbase of 2,670mm and ground clearance of 175mm.
Boot capacity ranges from 475 litres to 1,672 litres when the seats are folded.
It has a 1.6-litre Turbocharged engine that is paired with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT). The powertrain setup delivers 197hp and a torque of 290Nm while fuel consumption is rated at 7.0 litres per 100km.
Its interior is packed full of features to go with its comfort-centric cabin. The seats are wrapped in leatherette upholstery with ventilated function being available at the front.
Also at the front is a 24.6-inch Integrated Dual Screen, a design that combines two screens into one seamless display, that has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
Other highlight features include an incar wireless 50W charger with an active cooling system, an eight-speaker premium Sony Audio System, 64-colour interior ambient lighting, and a sunroof.
Safety takes centre stage as the Tiggo 7 Pro is equipped with the latest-generation Advanced Driver Assistance System 2.5 (ADAS 2.5).
The ADAS suite comes with 16 functions, including front collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, multi collision brake, traffic jam assistant, door open warning and rear cross-traffic braking.
The four colour options are Bloodstone Red with Black Roof, Carbon Black, Vanilla Blue and Khaki White with Black Roof.
The model will be available for viewing at all Chery showrooms nationwide starting this month, with customers receiving their new Tiggo 7 Pro by the end of May, or around the same time as its official launch.
