Chery Auto PH to launch all-new Tiggo 7 Pro on January 27
After a bunch of teasers and media previews, plus a public online preview during MIAS Wired, Chery Auto Philippines has officially announced a launch date for its latest crossover, the Tiggo 7 Pro. This will be the company’s second online launch after they introduced the Arrizo 5e fully-electric sedan last year.
The Tiggo 7 Pro is the second generation of Chery’s compact crossover, first introduced in China last year. The outgoing model we currently have first debuted in 2016. It slots in between the brand’s flagship Tiggo 8 and the subcompact Tiggo 5X.
Chery Auto PH has not yet announced exact specifications but did give us an idea of what to expect. A 10.25-inch touchscreen 6-speaker infotainment system that has a Mirror Link, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay connectivity, wireless phone charger, 360-degree HD camera, and power tailgate should be available.
The company has also announced engine specifications. The Tiggo 7 Pro is powered by a new-generation 1.5L turbocharged DOHC 16-valve Euro 5 4-cylinder engine coupled with a new continuously variable transmission (CVT). This powertrain is carried-over from the outgoing model but the original 6-speed dual-clutch has been replaced.
No pricing has been announced yet but we could expect this to be priced around the Php 1.2-1.4-million range. This means it can also go head-to-head with other compact crossovers in the same price range such as the Ford Territory.
The launch event for the all-new 2021 Chery Tiggo 7 Pro will be held online via Facebook Live on January 27, 2021, at 7:00 PM.
