After a long gestation that started way back in December 2021, Chery’s return to the Malaysian market was made official yesterday night. The brand relaunch event also saw the official debut of the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro SUVs as the first models of Chery’s new era here.
Before yesterday, we brought you previews of what’s coming next from the company’s base in Wuhu, as well as previews of the local spec Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro. The only things that remained a mystery was the pricing (Omoda 5 RM108,800 to RM118,800; Tiggo 8 Pro RM159,800) and warranty package.
The latter is a spectacular, headline grabbing announcement – an engine warranty of 10 years or one million km. But as with all things, look out for the asterisk pointing to terms and conditions. Here, the 10-year engine warranty is only for the early birds, specifically the first 3,000 buyers.
However, even if you’re customer number 3,001, the warranty ain’t bad. To counter negative perception of cars from China and to put to bed any reliability concerns, Chery Malaysia is offering a vehicle warranty of seven years or 150,000 km. Once the 10-year engine warranty is fully claimed, engine will fall under the seven-year/150,000 km general warranty.
If for whatever reason you really need the 10-year warranty, you can purchase and extended warranty package (EWP) that will bring your engine warranty back to 10 years. The EWP price is RM2,000 – essentially, the first 3,000 buyers will get a ‘free gift worth RM2,000’.
There will also be five years of free service, but Chery’s wording is rather liberal here. This is not the same as some of the true free service packages out there, where you fork out nothing because parts and labour are included. Instead, the ‘free’ portion here is labour charges (parts not included) for alternating services (free this time, pay the next time). The service interval is every 10,000 km or six months.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Marketing gimmick. How do people know it’s already 3k registered, all based on their own word. They will adjust the policy based on sales figure eventually, if it’s selling fast, they might say already 3k booked but maybe only 1k.
I understand your reasoning but this type of stuff cannot tipu one. Many eyes in JPJ and Puspakom registry. Very easy to find out by public. Big car brands will not dare take this risk. So don’t worry, this will not happen
This brand coming from the land claimed to have overtaken Tesla in EV sales but at the same time have grave yards storing unsold REGISTERED EV.
Buy CRV for better RV
Proton Geli sudah goyang kah
P2 sudah goyang kah
Why need to drag p2 into this rich people problems?
Noob comment
Chery had no balls to retain the 1mil km was most probably due to cut corners after 3k productions run to clear the old stocks. 7 years warranty is considered common for Japanese rivals also. So nothing to worry abt. China boleh!
Thing is, as we all know Proton themselves struggling to keep up to cover warranty from X50 & x70, as parts availability for warranty take too much time to order & repair.
They can boast they can cover, but if it take longer than 1-2months, who can wait that long?
do you even read? add 2k (after the 3000) and you get that 10 yrs peace of mind (engine only)
Thanks for clarifying the fine print
Spec mengancam…
Harga sgt lah menarik…
Akan aku tunggu 2-3 tahun lagi…
Jika xda major issues, tiggo 8 pro bakal aku rembat…
Engine 10 yrs warranty with 1 million KM but 7 yrs warranty with 150k KM? Com’on lah, if so confident, why not 7 yrs with 500k KM? In fact, my Hyundai from 10 years ago gave 5 yrs warranty with 300k KM…..
Then try to be the 1st 3000 customers la or pay the 2 k extra. they are confident but this is marketting. Clearly you are only capable of selling goreng pisang, even that I don’t think you will do well. Not very smart
Dont be a smart ass here lah….. Wait till u get a lemon car and then be crying baby woohoo….haha
Lemon?? with 10 years warranty you give me bittergourd also I not worried
Even the 7 year warranty has T&C against it. Hope it covers the gearbox up to 7 years too.
RM165K is verrrrryyyy expensive….Pls remember , they do abandoned us once….
RM100K , can give u 1 more chance!
RM100k in Mlalaysia?? with our OKU ministers??? why don’t you build one for us. The car could be way cheaper if not for our crazy tax and AP to feed the OKU people. Instead of making money for Malaysians, they make money from Malaysians. They can get away with it because most people in Malaysia are OKU as well and cannot see how lousy our policies are. That is why our ministers can get away. Just use religion and kaum excuses to cover their daylight robbery then settle.
FYI …Di China, Chery OMODA 5 dijual dengan harga antara RMB 92,900 (sekitar RM 60,000) hingga RMB 126,900 (sekitar RM 82,000)….tak mungkin di sini sebab ada proton dan perodua…
like that fark la…mana ada project untung rakyat sini…..semua talk cock untung cronies only at the expense of normal rakyat…
RM2k is also so worth it for 10years warranty. extra 23 years for 3 more ears and 1 million km. Mana cari. So nnfident this company. 1st 3 k buyers untung besar. Hope I can be one of the lucky 3000 buyers.
if it fail at 200,000km, you can get new engine easily.
Chery Tiggo 8 pro only starts at 118000rmb/RM76k. The china made 2.0Turbo engine is cheap, throw in RM20k give you also CBU engine replacement no problem, within the 10 years warranty.
If you really can hit 1,000,000km give you up to engines also no problem. but chances to hit that is less than 1 out of 3000,000
Price, feature wise are far better than UMW T. XENIA.
Time to look chinese make..
Since when there is UMWT Xenia? You chinese cars fanboys are so retarded

dapat lawan Kimchi
i feels this one more makan minyak than kimchi to drive at KL.
hope chery company can last 10 years in Malaysia..
Chery Merry
in order chery to fulfill the 10 yrs warranty, chery company must first survive at least 10 years in Malaysia…
hope they can accomplished this
Chery merry boys
clearly you don’t know how rich Cherry company is today..Lets say they can survice for 200 years even if they don’t sell any cars in malaysia for the next 200 years.
Well the Chery Tiggo 8 pro was released back in 2018 and the 2.0L T engine since 2019 guess many other countries just need about 5 years and more to get into the 10 years cycle so just keep the faith.
Well said
This is the smartest person on this comment section
10 years or 1 mil Km or company close down, which ever come first
Sure this company will stay here for 10 years ka?
While I welcome Cherry coming back officially this time. The scar from my family-owned Easter is still fresh and very cautious about their now after-sales plans. Yea we sold it before COVID but extended warranty won’t actually soothe peoples worries if their dealers and service centres only covers major cities like Selangor, Penang, Johor and the likes.
I will be looking at this brand close to see if they have what it takes to maintain their market here.
Nice nice to come up with these and my opinion Chinese are the innovators since ancient time.
better than BYD Atto3 low mileage battery spec.
Chery Easter new at rm80k++…after 5 years drops to rm18k
Someone told me dont repeat same mistake
Can thank me later
Wait a few years and see. If it is reliable, less problematic, then can buy it 2nd hand.
1 million kilometres up to 10 years. If you drive 20,000km a year (which is about average on a single car family), 1 million kms will take 50 years. The other way to look at it is that AFTER 10 years, your car will only have travelled 200,000kms. So, you can use the “1 million kms” term but the reality is, you will never get to 1 million kms.
Pandai menipu.
