Chery Malaysia has 58 outlets nationwide, including in Sabah and Sarawak – brand started in July 2023

At yesterday’s launch of the Chery Tiggo Cross, Chery Malaysia revealed that it now has 58 outlets (showrooms, service centres and body and paint centres) operational nationwide, including in Sabah and Sarawak.

“From just a handful of outlets when we began in July 2023, we now proudly operate 58 outlets nationwide, including in Sabah and Sarawak. Since then, we have introduced four exciting models to the Malaysian market and I can confidently say there’s much more coming in the second half of the year,” said Michael Chew, vice president of Chery Malaysia.

The Chinese brand’s return to Malaysia was led by two SUVs that were launched here in July 2023, namely the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro. The former would gain an all-electric variant called the Omoda E5 in March 2024, with another SUV – the Tiggo 7 Pro – joining the line-up in June the same year. The Tiggo Cross is the latest addition to the model range and is available in turbocharged and hybrid variants.

Other models that are part of the Chery family but sold through separate dealerships are those from Omoda | Jaecoo, including the J7 that is available in petrol-only and plug-in hybrid variants, the Omoda C9 as well as upcoming J8 that will be launched later on July 18. There’s also iCaur (or iCar as it is known in China), which will first launch the 03 before the V23 joins the mix.

    Digging up old articles on Chery, particularly the one titled “Chery Malaysia opens new 3S centre, launches Eastar ST – brand to expand country’s role as RHD hub”, we can read that the old Chery (Chery Automobile Malaysia) also had thereabouts of 55 outlets nationwide at one point.

    Mainlander companies open as fast as they close. Look at their car brand branches in Russia in 2025. Look at their bike, car and umbrella sharing business. Look at their investment business.

      Oh, newme you still so sneaky. You take Russia, a country where many companies have since stopped operation due to unstable geopolitical condition, just prove that “China is bad”. Why not you mention Australia, a country with booming economy, where multiple Chinese companies are thriving? Why not you mention ASEAN, where Chinese companies are pouring in investments because they see the potentual for growth instead of focussing on recession riddled Russia?

        Mainland cars were flourishing in Russia during the start of the war because of the western sanction. The Russians were desperate. Over time, they see how bad the quality is and decided to move away from mainland cars now.

    The dealers would enjoy if 25 dealers selling 20,000 units a year.

    Problem comes when there are 50 dealers but market had shrunk to 10,000 units, too many competitions from other brands including malaysia, fellow player china, japan and korea.
