KUALA LUMPUR: Chery is all set to enrich its presence in Malaysia with the upcoming launch of the Tiggo 7 Pro, marking a significant addition to its lineup that already includes the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro and the Omoda E5 EV. 

The excitement is palpable as the Tiggo 7 Pro is scheduled to grace Malaysian roads in the first half of 2024, bringing with it a host of anticipated features and specifications that promise to make it a formidable contender in the C-segment SUV category, rivaling the likes of the Proton X70, Mazda CX-5, and Honda CR-V.

As of today, Chery fans can place their orders for the TIGGO 7 PRO, which will be proudly displayed in Chery showrooms across the country starting from April 2024. Prospective owners can anticipate taking delivery of their brand-new TIGGO 7 PRO by the end of May 2024, embarking on a journey of automotive excellence and innovation.

An estimated price of under RM130,000 has been announced at the preview today, but the final price will be revealed at the launch soon.

A closer look reveals that the Tiggo 7 Pro is designed to captivate, built on the robust T1X Comfort chassis shared with the Tiggo 8 Pro. Its dimensions offer a generous interior space and a large boot capacity, appealing to those who value comfort and utility.

The exterior design is a bold statement of Chery’s vision, featuring an imposing chrome-framed hexagonal front grille and sleek LED lighting that contribute to its aggressive, off-road-ready appearance.

Under the hood, the Tiggo 7 Pro doesn't disappoint, with a new powerful 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo TGDi engine with 197 hp and 290Nm that promises exhilarating performance. This is the same engine found on the JAECOO J7, Chery's sub-premium SUV brand.

This engine is coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which helps it achieves impressive acceleration, making every drive a thrilling experience.

The Tiggo 7 Pro also has independent suspension all around, engineering multi-link suspension at all four corners for better driving feel and comfort.

The interior is a sanctuary of luxury and tech, equipped with advanced features that include a massive 24.6" dual-screen setup for the instrument panel and infotainment system, seamless smartphone connectivity, and a Sony premium audio system for an immersive sound experience. Comfort is prioritized with ventilated front seats and a panoramic sunroof, adding to the premium feel of the cabin.

Staying connected while on the move is paramount. The TIGGO 7 PRO ensures your phone is quickly charged with its in-car wireless 50W charger, featuring an active cooling system that effectively reduces the phone's temperature during the wireless charging process.

Safety is paramount in the Tiggo 7 Pro, as evidenced by its stellar performance in ANCAP crash tests, where it secured a 5-star rating under stringent criteria. The SUV is equipped with comprehensive 7 airbag coverage and an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) featuring an array of functions designed to ensure the utmost safety on the road.
