New Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Review – A premium SUV for Polo money?

Ciro De Siena

15 Jun 2022

Like the mythical phoenix, Chery has been reborn in SA from the ashes of its previous iteration. The Tiggo 7 Pro is the 3rd model to be launched in SA since the brand’s return to SA. We review the new model from a brand that’s really gaining ground locally.

New to our shores, Chinese brands GWM, Haval and Chery are enjoying significant success in our market. But for Chery, this is not their first foray into Mzansi, and their offerings from the 2010s certainly left a lot to be desired.

However, Chery’s latest products are lightyears ahead of their previous efforts, and in many ways, far ahead of some of their competitors.

However, especially in a cash-strapped economy like ours right now, it’s the staggeringly low price of these vehicles that is making South African motorists sit up and take notice.

The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is available for a fair bit less than a top-spec Volkswagen Polo, and in that sense alone it represents incredible value. We sent our video guy, Ciro De Siena, to bring you a detailed review of the all-new Chery Tiggo 7 Pro.
