How many hybrids did Chinese automaker Chery sell in South Africa in August 2025? Here’s a look at the brand’s new-energy vehicle sales for last month…
- Chery SA sold 227 hybrid derivatives in August
- That’s 10.2% of the Chinese brand’s overall sales
- Tiggo Cross HEV was its most popular hybrid
Having firmly established itself in South Africa’s new passenger-vehicle market, Chery SA recently expanded into the new-energy vehicle (NEV) segment, launching a raft of hybrid derivatives. So, how have these hybrids – of both the traditional and plug-in variety – been selling in Mzansi?
Well, the Chinese firm has released its hybrid sales figures for August 2025. As a reminder, the Chery brand hit a sales record in Mzansi last month, with a total of 2 228 units registered. That performance represented a 3.1% month-on-month improvement and saw Chery climb a ranking to 7th overall.
According to the automaker, 227 units – which translates to 10.2% of its total for the month – represented hybrid sales. Of course, it’s worth keeping in mind these are sales from only the core Chery brand and thus exclude NEV registrations from sub-brands Omoda (with its C9 SHS PHEV) and Jaecoo (with its J7 SHS PHEV).
As Mzansi’s most affordable hybrid, it’s perhaps no surprise the Tiggo Cross HEV led the NEV charge for Chery South Africa in August, reaching 122 units (on a considerable 53.3% of the overall Tiggo Cross figure).
Next came the Tiggo 7 CSH PHEV – which is currently Mzansi’s most affordable plug-in hybrid – with 50 units, followed by the Tiggo 8 CSH PHEV (33 units). Finally, the freshly launched Tiggo 9 CSH PHEV completed the picture with 22 units.
