Competitive

FOLLOWING the successful introduction of the compact Tiggo 4 Pro and seven-seat Tiggo 8 Pro SUVs, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is set to arrive in South Africa, the Chinese importer has confirmed. Slotting between the other models, the Tiggo 7 Pro is slightly larger than the Toyota Corolla Cross, and given how Chery has priced its other two entrants so far, you can almost certainly expect a competitive price tag, which will be confirmed nearer to launch.

Power will come from a 1.5-litre turbopetrol engine that produces 108kW and 210Nm, Chery says. The motor is paired with a CVT gearbox with nine “steps” that simulate traditional ratios.
