Chery Malaysia has officially announced that the Tiggo 7 Pro will make its local debut this year, specifically in the second quarter, after the Omoda E5 in March. We’ve previously reported that the C-segment SUV has been confirmed for Malaysia, and Chery also revived a Tiggo 7 Pro Facebook group late last year, so it’s not a big surprise.
Previously, it was said that Chery would be bringing in the plug-in hybrid version of the Tiggo 7 Pro, but at a business briefing this morning, preliminary specs of the Tiggo 7 Pro was revealed with a pure internal combustion engine with no motor assistance. The ICE in question is a 1.6L four-cylinder turbo engine with 197 hp and 290 Nm of torque, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox for a 0-100 km/h time of 8.3 seconds.
Products from the brand’s second coming are well-equipped, and the Tiggo 7 Pro will follow the trend. The Proton X70 rival will ride on 18-inch alloys and come with an ADAS pack with 17 functions, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats.
Also available are kit familiar to current (modern) Chery owners such as a ‘540-degree’ camera, an eight-speaker Sony audio system and a 24.6-inch dual screen. The latter sounds like a TV, but is merely a combination of the central infotainment screen and the digital instrument panel, which are conjoined, Mercedes-Benz-style.
By the way, the Tiggo 7 Pro is supposed to be the five-seater C-segment model in Chery’s SUV range, sitting between the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro. It’s 113 mm longer and 32 mm wider than the Omoda 5, and its 4,513 mm length is similar to that of a Proton X70 (4,519 mm). The styling is also more conventional than the wild Omoda 5, which is fitting.
Like Chery Malaysia’s two launch products, expect the Tiggo 7 Pro to be CKD locally assembled, with a very competitive price to match. Check out our gallery of the C-SUV, which we got up close with in Wuhu, China, last year. What do you think of the Tiggo 7 Pro’s looks and package next to the Proton X70?

Malaysian-Chinese support China
No need to think Sure buy laa!!
sure or not? majority geely x50 buyer are malays.
Thats because of the P badge imo. But seing more and more malays buying the Omoda 5 as seen in O5 owner groups. Sometimes its not just about the origin country, but the value it brings on the table.
nope. 100% because it is cheap. thats all. different with makanan viral, even expensive still can queue long and buy. malays love that.
Kami dah lihat dengan mata sendiri macam mana China sokong Palestine. Media barat dah tak boleh nak tipu dan memperbodohkan kami lagi. Kami soking produk China dan semua produk dari negara yang tolong Palestine. Kami pun dah sedar bahawa media barat ni bertujuajuan untuk memperbodohkan dunia supaya dunia berhuru hara membahagikan kawan yang berkawan dengan negara Islam. Amerika dan puak Zionis dah kena game kali ini. Game over kepada puak Zionis dan kawan kawan mereka (Amerika, Eropah, Jepun, Korea selatan, India dan Philippine)
Now they said Tong San car is good?
How to define “real Muslim” ?
Kelantan official car = Mercedes
Terengganu official = Mazda Japan
Kedah official car = Honda Japan
Why they dont want to bring 7 seater c segment suv like older crv? All bring 5 seater only
for 7 seater you got the tiggo 8 pro
sharing same body for third row in C segment is never a good idea
thats why tiguan must be transformed into tiguan allspace before it becomes usable
Tiggo 8 pro is too big. Something that around x70 or cx5 size and have 3rd row seat is good enough. Nobody use 3rd row on suv for everyday use, but it is good enough to have option when u need to bring more people. The boot is big enough to fit in additional seats. When no one seating there, just fold it. More option to end user is always better as more customers that manufacturer can tackle.
Proton Geely sweating
Inb4 sweating after exercise is healthy
X70 days are numbered
How about our toyota rush aruz? hopefully not outnumbered
If they price this 30k lower than Honda CRV…
Why always offer jerking dct? I don’t mind to have cvt which is more comfortable for passengers back there
Finally some sane comment about cvt. CVTs getting nore hate than its supposed to. CVT is great for urban driving city driving.
