The national men’s doubles pair, Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, who clinched bronze medals in the tournament, each received a Chery Tiggo 7 Pro.

Chery Malaysia, Carsome join forces to revolutionise car trade-ins

2 Comments

CHERY Malaysia announced that it has recently signed two Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
Carsome and Carsome Academy.

The primary focus of these partnerships is to revolutionise vehicle trade-ins and enhance soft skills within the brand’s network of representatives.

Carsome is making the process seamless for new Chery customers walking into their showroom. Upon opting for a trade-in, customers can have Carsome conduct a vehicle inspection at their preferred location.

Following the inspection, Carsome will promptly offer a price for the trade-in vehicle. Once the offer is accepted, customers can then hand over their old vehicle before or while collecting their new Chery vehicle.

Carsome also threw in a special campaign to Chery dealers by offering an additional RM500 on top of the trade-in offer price for their customers who trade in their vehicles from 15 January to 15 February 2024.

Meanwhile, the second MoU aims to bolster soft skills within Chery’s network of representatives. The agreement will centre on four aspects, namely Upskilling Workfore, Peneraju Skil Motor Vehicle Inspection Programme, Training & Placements and Marketing Initiatives.

Chery Auto Malaysia Vice President Lee Wen Hsiang said both collaborations were timely for Chery Malaysia’s growing customer base over the months since the brand debut in July last year.

“The collaboration with CARSOME will be beneficial and important for our dealers, especially with the increase in customers who seek to trade in their old cars for a new Chery vehicle,” he said.

Additionally, with plans to expand showrooms to 48 outlets by the end of 2024, there will be an increase in the workforce, including sales representatives and managers. Therefore, ensuring the importance of Chery’s customer service becomes a crucial step for the brand’s future success.

Chery Malaysia sold 4,501 cars from September to December 2023

CHERY Malaysia has announced that it sold a total of 4,501 vehicles in 2023, a somewhat remarkable achievement given that the company only began delivering the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro in September.

Speaking at the company’s annual business briefing, Chery Auto Malaysia Vice President Lee Wen Hsiang said over 80% of the total sales was contributed by the Omoda 5.

According to Chery Auto Malaysia’s Vice President, Lee Wen Hsiang, over 80 percent of this total was contributed by the Omoda 5.

Lee added that Chery also conducted a sales satisfaction survey where over 1,000 customers of the brand gave it an exceptionally high score of 94 out of 100.

Lee also said that despite facing initial comments when Chery was first introduced to the Malaysian market, the brand has steadfastly prioritised resolving customer issues and will continue doing so in 2024.

Among the efforts made to achieve this target is through expanding its network nationwide. Chery Auto Malaysia Network Development Director Soon Boon Ping, stated that the company currently has 32 outlets operating nationwide with a workforce of 550 employees.

“By at the end of 2024, we hope to have at least 48 outlets in operation and that will also contribute to 70% increase in our 3S and 4S centres,” said Soon.

On product, Chery Auto Malaysia Product Director Michael Chew shared that the company will launch four new models in 2024, starting with the Omoda E5 in March.

The electric SUV will be followed by the Tiggo 7 Pro in the second quarter and two more models in the fourth quarter. Notably, one of the two yet-to-be-named models will be an “affordable” and “higher volume” car for the rakyat. Could that be the Tiggo 4 Pro that was previewed back in October 2022?

During its business briefing in Kuala Lumpur earlier today, Chery Malaysia confirmed that they will be launching the Tiggo 7 Pro in the second quarter of this year.

The five-seater SUV will be Chery’s fourth model to be introduced in Malaysia following the Omoda 5, Tiggo 8 Pro, and Omoda E5. As previously reported, the Omoda E5 is slated for launch in March.

In addition to confirming the Tiggo 7 Pro’s arrival, Chery Malaysia also took the opportunity to divulge preliminary specifications for the upcoming model.

Unlike in Indonesia, where the Tiggo 7 Pro is offered with a 1.5-litre turbo engine, we will be getting the more potent 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo engine capable of making 197 hp and 290 Nm of torque.

The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that allows the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds.

Elsewhere, the Tiggo 7 Pro will come with 18-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated front seats. Interestingly, the image used in the presentation slide shows a different front bumper design from the unit previewed last year.

The infotainment system includes 24.6-inch dual display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a Sony premium audio system with eight speakers.

Safety-wise, the version we’re getting will be equipped with 17 ADAS features, five more than what you can find in the Tiggo 8 Pro. Also included is a 540-degree camera.

Pricing hasn’t been revealed yet, but it is expected that the Tiggo 7 Pro will be positioned between the Omoda 5 (RM108,800 to RM118,800) and Tiggo 8 Pro (RM159,800). It is also highly likely to be locally assembled in Kulim, Kedah alongside the two aforementioned models.

The automaker also claims that the Omoda E5’s fast charging technology can charge the battery from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes.

On the safety front, the Omoda E5 comes with a new generation Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) that includes 16 functions such as blind-spot monitoring, reverse warning, and automatic emergency braking capable of recognizing pedestrians and cyclists.

Design-wise, the Omoda E5 sets itself apart from its combustion-engined sibling with a covered grille and aerodynamically-enhanced wheels. It will be offered with a choice of seven exterior colours and three interior colours.
