Sales from both domestic and foreign markets are included in this figure. It increases Chery's global sales to 457 048 vehicles in the first quarter of 2023, an incredible 128% increase over the same month last year. Analyzing the April sales in detail reveals that the Tiggo Pro line is largely responsible for Chery's success on a global scale.
The Tiggo 7 Pro sold 18 715 units in April, and 15 307 customers received the Tiggo 8 Pro. In South Africa, the Tiggo Pro line has comparable popularity. The Tiggo 4 Pro, Tiggo 7 Pro, and Tiggo 8 Pro (including Tiggo8Pro Max) are all sold here by Chery. These models discovered a new record of 5389
in brand-new homes up to this point. “After just 18 months of selling its first car in South Africa, Chery is now firmly entrenched in the Top 10 passenger vehicle brands.”
The Tiggo 4 Pro has emerged as the most popular model even though all of the Tiggo Pro variants are
outpacing our sales expectations. According to Tony Liu, Executive Deputy General Manager of Chery
Group South Africa, "Its entry-level affordability and comprehensive list of creature comforts have made it one of the top 10 best-selling passenger vehicles in South Africa.
Chery's popularity and sales are both still increasing. At the Shanghai Auto Show, where Chery
welcomed over 1000 guests from more than 80 countries and areas where it sells vehicles, this was very
clear. South African dealers and journalists were also invited in Shanghai by Liu and his colleagues from Chery in South Africa.” We got the chance to demonstrate to our visitors the full scope of Chery's operations in China and around the world.
For instance, we explained to visitors that Chery has more than 12 million owners on almost all continents. We also mentioned how Chery has applied for about 21 000 technical patents in China alone, of which 13 153 have already been granted. A large number of Chery's patents deal with its unique engine and electric vehicle technology.
A whole spectrum of engines, electric motors, hydrogen systems, and the platforms that will enable the corporation to employ these technologies interchangeably will be developed by Chery, according to earlier statements. A new generation of Chery new energy vehicles (NEVs) were the main emphasis in Shanghai. Along with displaying some of its most recent electric and plug-in hybrid models, Chery also made a public commitment to building a seamless industrial supply chain for the design and production of electric vehicles.
“Chery's quick technological development offers South Africa a lot of hope. In addition to being a rapidly expanding market for the Chery Group, we also have the chance to assist our neighboring nations with Chery vehicles and technologies. Chery South Africa has a very promising future,” says Liu.
