Chery Tiggo 7 due this summer priced from £24,995

Brand announces its complete launch line-up; Tiggo 7 gets petrol and PHEV options Chinese giant Chery has confirmed its UK launch line-up will comprise the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 SUVs, both priced from £24,995. The Tiggo 7 is positioned as a Dacia Bigster rival, offering the choice of pure-petrol or plug-in hybrid power. The turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol unit puts out 145bhp and 203lb ft, giving a 0-62mph time of 9.4sec. The PHEV, priced from £29,995, employs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with two electric motors (one per axle), and an 18.3kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery supplied by CATL. The set-up combines for outputs of 201bhp and 269lb ft, giving a 0-62mph sprint time of 8.5sec. It can drive 56 miles under electric power alone and emits 23g/km of CO2, placing it in the 9% benefit-in-kind tax band for company car users for 2025-20256. Two trim levels will be offered, named Aspire and Summit. The former is the entry level, bringing synthetic-leather upholstery, dual-zone air conditioning, adaptive cruise control and a six-speaker Sony sound system. Summit upgrades the stereo to eight speakers and adds ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel and hands-free boot opening. Both get two 12.3in displays – one for instrumentation, and the other an infotainmet touchscreen. It comes after Chery last week confirmed it will bring the seven-seat Tiggo 8 to the UK, too. The Tiggo 8, pictured below, brings the same powertrains and prices. Both cars get a seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty. Chery's decision to bring its self-named brand to the UK means it will have launched five marques here. Omoda and Jaecoo were first to arrive in 2024, and the value-focused Lepas and off-road-biased iCaur (known as iCar in China) brands are due in the coming months. Chery is also the driving force behind the revival of Freelander with JLR.
