In a media briefing today, Chery Malaysia revealed preliminary specifications of the upcoming locally assembled (CKD) Chery Tiggo 7 Pro. Chery Malaysia has also confirmed that the Tiggo 7 Pro will be launched within the first half of 2024.
Prior to the Tiggo 7 Pro, Chery has already launched the Tiggo 8 Pro and the Omoda 5. Chery also plans to launch the all-electric Chery Omoda E5 soon.
Seemingly coming in a single variant only, here is the preliminary technical information of the Tiggo 7 Pro that has been shared so far:
- Engine: 1.6 TGDI
- Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT)
- Maximum Power: 197 hp
- Maximum Torque: 290 Nm
- 0-100 km/h acceleration: 8.3 seconds
Interestingly, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro for Malaysia will be getting the more powerful 1.6-litre TGDI engine and a 7-speed DCT. Back when it was previewed in July 2023, the Tiggo 7 Pro was shown with a 1.5-litre turbocharged mill that made 156 hp and 230 Nm. The engine was also paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
If you’re wondering who it is aiming for, it has its eyes set on C-segment SUVs like the Proton X70 and the Honda CR-V. Like existing Chery models, it will be assembled in Kulim, Kedah.
Other preliminary information of the car include:
- 18-inch alloy wheels
- Panoramic sunroof
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- 17 ADAS functions
- 540° camera
- Ventilated front seats
- 24.6-inch dual screen
- 8-speaker Sony premium audio system
The Tiggo 7 Pro is built on the same T1X Comfort Chassis as the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro. According to Chery, the T1X platform has better headroom for front and rear seats, and higher ground clearance. The approach and departure angles also ensure better off-road performance.
