New Chery Tiggo 7 launched in South Africa – Pricing and Features
Chery has officially launched the facelifted Tiggo 7 in South Africa, giving the SUV a fresh look and an expanded list of features.
Interestingly, the facelifted Tiggo 7 has dropped the “Pro” suffix seen on Chery’s other vehicles, and it appears it will be sold as a separate model, as both the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 7 Pro are currently listed on the company’s website.
Like the Tiggo Cross, which is an updated version of the Tiggo 4 Pro, the new Tiggo 7 will give customers the most up-to-date version of the car, while the older Tiggo 7 Pro will remain as a more affordable alternative.
The new Tiggo 7 is available in three specifications with prices starting at R429,900, while the Tiggo 7 Pro starts at R389,900.
The facelift does not apply to the more powerful Tiggo 7 Pro Max units or the Tiggo 7 CSH (Chery Super Hybrid) model introduced in late June.
