Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Urban 2024 Review | Chinese brand adds value-packed medium SUV to Aussie line-up

The mid-size SUV maelstrom gains another affordable, well-equipped Chinese entrant, but is it any good? 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
Despite all the hoo-hah about utes, mid-size SUVs are actually the biggest-selling new vehicle segment in Australia, where entrants from all over the globe are fighting it out for your dollars.
Vying to emerge at the forefront of that battle is the 2024 Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, which combines affordable pricing with a strong equipment list and a well-executed five-seat interior.
Here we’re testing the entry-level Urban, which like all Tiggo 7 Pro variants comes with a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine, a dual-clutch automatic gearbox and driving manners that leave a bit to be desired.

I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I suggest that you go and test drive this car before making a decision. The annoying chimes and unnecessary safety aids can be disabled. I'm an average driver and I found the Tiggo to be a very pleasant car to drive, even on our crappy roads. I also own a Volvo XC90 D5. This car with the 1.5T CVT has been available in South Africa for a while and there are no reliability issues. South Africans are obsessed with reliability.

2 years aint long enough to reliably judge reliability, no matter how obsessed you are.

There will be many happy buyers of this vehicle, no doubt, but the fact of the matter is there are simply much better options on the market. And Chery will improve, no doubt. They watch these vids, they read all the reviews, they know they've got work to do - and we're sure they'll remedy the issues over time.

@@carsales if what you say is true, my advice to them is the same as BYD.. they should offer a factory de-badged version of the car.
If you don't believe me, look at all the BYD atto driving around Australia these days, more than a third have been de-badged by their owners, particularly the darker colours. No one wants to drive around with a huge "Build Your Dreams" or even larger "Cherry" plastered on the back of the car.
I actually like the look of the Cherry, but until they have a better reputation those badges are a turn off... it might as well say "IM CHEAP" as that's how i'd feel driving one. May seem petty and shallow but i know i'm not alone.
Even luxury cars have started to wise up to this, you don't see a Lexus with huge LEXUS written on the back and that's a respected brand people are proud to own.
This is a situation where less is more.

Tiggo7 pro is top of my shortlist, nothing else comes close at this price point, KIA Sportage and Hyundai Tuscon are a little better but then you jump in price. Chery still beats the Germans and Toyotas though and is the best of the other Chinese brands

Here in Brazil This model has started an agressive sales strategy with very low prices. This month March it sells 15k units and the seller are askiing for 180 days to deliver it because high demand. We have haval here but much expensive than Cherry. Toyota and Jeep Cars too far away in prices compared with Tiggo 7. Its a good choice I think.

Caution may contain roof-rails for Cosmetic Purpose Only 'Do Not Use'; this Tiggo would be driven by lemon bandits with a crate come off from the roof-rails shall be tracked down by ADR cops until a roof-rail slices a lemon and then deserve a Shonky Award.

[@kevinphillips9408]

It looks great value but the HUGE PROBLEM is its name. There is no way I would be seen driving a car called a cherry.

[@dshiningsword2427]

😂😂

[@carsales]

The Tiggo name surely makes up for it?

[@marcellxxx6259]

I bet you drive a 🍋 lemon

[@dshiningsword2427]

For that price you can find a demo Kia Sorento which is bigger, spacious, better looking and has its own identity not like this typical mix bag copy of other cars 😂

[@carsales]

Australia has over 50 new car brands vying for customers - one of the most overpopulated of any mature car market in the world - which means there's always lots of choices and alternatives, as you rightly point out.

[@Raptor50aus]

Another twin clutch fail and the name Cherry.

[@CTM-lz4jj]

Test drove one last week. Absolute trash. Clunky ride, poor fuel economy and cheap interior. Haval H6 is superior to this in every way and is cheaper.
