Australia’s midsized SUV segment is set to get even bigger with Chery confirming its TIGGO 7 Pro will be arriving in the fourth-quarter of 2023, with prices kicking off from $39,990 drive-away.
Chery’s five-seat midsize SUV will be introduced to buyers here in Australia in three variants, with the platform measuring in at 4513mm long, 1862mm wide, 1692mm high and offering a wheelbase spanning 2670mm, with boot space figures of 626L.
Power for the Tiggo 7 Pro lineup comes supplied by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol that produces 137kW of power and 5500rpm and 275Nm of torque from 2000rpm.
Power is thrown to the front wheels in the base model via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the range-topper picks up an all-wheel drive system.
Chery says its 1.6-litre turbo four-pot is rated at 7.0L/100km on a combined cycle.
Kicking off the range is the entry-level Tiggo Pro 7 Urban variant, which picks up 18-inch alloys, LED lights, dual-zone climate control, leatherette upholstery with heated front seats, a rear-view camera and ambient lighting.
There’s also a pair of 12.3-inch displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment system wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto and an eight-speaker Sony sound system.
The base model also picks up 18 driver aids containing the usual set of acronyms for autonomous breaking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts and more.
Stepping up to the Tiggo 7 Elite adds a surround-view monitor, a powered tail gate, auto-folding mirrors, optional black roof and an air quality management system.
Finally, the range-topping Tiggo 7 Ultimate AWD recieves an AWD system, 19-inch alloys, red brake calipers, ventilated front seats, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and six driving modes.
