CHERY TIGGO 8 PRO MAX ULTIMATE

  By ,

It’s a mouthful, that’s what it is. The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max Ultimate is a large, seven-seat SUV, sitting at the top of a rapidly expanding lineup. That lineup now numbers six SUVs including the smaller Tiggo 4 and Tiggo 7 — plus a fully electric EV. Tiggo 8 is petrol-powered, comes in three grades and is well equipped for the price, but has plenty of competitors in this segment — so due diligence is required. STYLING The Tiggo 8’s styling is contemporary but somewhat generic. There are three… Read more

CHERY OMODA E5 EX

  By ,

E5 is the fully-electric version of the Chery Omoda that we drove 12 months ago. It doesn’t look radically different from the rear or in profile, but the front has been extensively redesigned to accommodate the missing radiator grille. Any air still required for cooling is drawn in through a smaller, blacked out ribbed opening below the front bumper. Looks aside, the E5 is considerably more powerful than the petrol-model, which it is sold alongside, with significantly more torque available almost instantly when the accelerator is pressed. So, it is… Read more

MCDONALDS PUTS A CHERY ON TOP

  By ,

Chinese carmaker Chery has come up with a very clever marketing ploy by partnering with McDonalds in the fast-food chain’s November sales campaign where the major prize is a new Tiggo 4 Pro. So, every time you see a Maccas television commercial – and there are squillions of them – the Chery name gets the sort of exposure that emerging brands can only dream about. Without knowing the numbers, it’s fair to assume that a large percentage of people who see the ads have never heard of Chery as a… Read more

CHERY TIGGO 7 PRO ULTIMATE AWD

  By ,

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell small SUVs apart, with a plethora of new brands and names. The Tiggo 7 Pro is a five-seater from a name that may ring a bell with some readers, a Chinese brand called Chery. A couple of Chery hatches and a small SUV were offered here about 10 years ago,but withdrawn from sale after the introduction of tougher safety regulations. While those vehicles were imported independently, newcomers the Omoda 5, Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 Pro are all factory backed offerings. They’re better-engineered, up-to-date… Read more

CHERY OMODA 5

  By ,

Chinese brand Chery is back with a couple of SUVs and the promise of more to come. The name hasn’t been seen in these parts for 10 years, not since its cheapo hatches and SUVs fell foul of the safety police. That was then and this is now, with its latest offering, a small SUV called the Omoda 5 scoring a full five stars for safety when crash tested by ANCAP. It’s got plenty of cut-through too, with a style and shape that makes it stand out in a crowded… Read more

CHERY TIGGO MID-SIZED SUV BREAKS THOUGH THE $40k DRIVEAWAY BARRIER

  By ,

Hot on the heels of the arrival of its Omodo 5 compact SUV, Chery Australia has provided pricing and specification details for a second, slightly larger, five-seat SUV, called the Tiggo 7 Pro. Apart from a very forgettable period between 2011 and 2017 when it tried to sell a small J- series hatchback Chery is all but unknown here. That’s certainly not the case elsewhere in the world because, although its only China’s ninth-largest auto maker, it is the country’s largest exporter of passenger vehicles including more than three million… Read more
