Chery Tiggo 7 Pro now open for booking, to be priced under RM130k
CHERY Auto Malaysia has confirmed that the Tiggo 7 Pro will be launched in the local market by the end of May, with an estimated price of below RM130,000.
The C-segment SUV, which will compete with the likes of the Proton X70 and the Honda CR-V, is now open for bookings and will be showcased at Chery showrooms nationwide starting this April.
As previously reported, the Tiggo 7 Pro is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 197 PS and 290 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission tasked to drive the front wheels.
Interestingly, during its business briefing event held in January, Chery claimed that the Tiggo 7 Pro is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds. However, the specifications shared recently stated a significantly different century sprint time of 9.5 seconds. We will seek clarification from Chery regarding this matter.
Additionally, the model is said to be capable of reaching a maximum speed of 205 km/h. The company also claims a fuel economy of 7.0 litres per 100 km.
In terms of features, the Tiggo 7 Pro will come equipped with LED headlights and taillights, sequential turn signals, diamond-like inserts on the grille, and two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, you will find leatherette upholstery, a 24.6-inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 50W wireless charger, a multi-colour ambient lighting system and a Sony audio system with eight speakers.
Additionally, there are USB Type-A and Type-C ports, a panoramic sunroof, Remote Engine Start, Walk Away Auto Lock, and three driving modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport.
