Chery Malaysia today officially launched the Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) system in the country, despite the Tiggo Cross having already debuted the branding with the 1.5 Hybrid CSH’s launch two weeks ago. Still, the company has seen fit to introduce the technology in greater detail to the Malaysian market – after all, the upcoming Tiggo 7 CSH and Tiggo 8 CSH are plug-in hybrids (PHEV), which the Tiggo Cross CSH is not.
A series-parallel hybrid system, CSH is said to combine the best of hybrid and fully-electric powertrains – it involves a 143 PS/215 Nm 1.5 litre turbo Miller-cycle four-cylinder engine with 44.5% thermal efficiency, which Chery says is among the industry’s highest.
Paired with a 204 PS/310 Nm electric motor integrated within a stepless dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT150) which delivers up to 98.5% mechanical efficiency, the system delivers a combined 347 PS and 525 Nm of torque. Chery claims a combined range of up to 1,200 km and an EV-only range of up to 90 km (cycle undisclosed).
The company is keen to emphasise the IP68-certified battery’s durability – besides being dust- and water-resistant, and capable of withstanding up to 95 degrees Celsius, the 18.3 kWh LFP battery was recently submerged in a metre-deep tank of seawater for over 53 hours before being reinstalled into a Tiggo 8 CSH (and it still worked) as part of a test in Jakarta.
Earlier in China, the Tiggo 9 PHEV CSH vehicles endured a series of extreme safety tests, including spiral rollovers and head-on vehicle collision, a seven-car stack test, 55 km/h side intrusion, a 4.9-metre vertical drop, and 720 hours of salt spray exposure.
In terms of charging, the battery can swallow up to 40 kW DC (30-80% in 19 minutes) and up to 6.6 kW AC (30-80% in three hours), while three-pin charging would get you from 10-100% in 8.5 hours. If any of the above-mentioned numbers seem familiar to you, it’s because CSH is closely related to Jaecoo’s Super Hybrid System (SHS).
Both the Tiggo 7 PHEV CSH and Tiggo 8 PHEV CSH were already previewed at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025, and the units shown here today largely mirror the ones shown then.
So far, Chery Malaysia has not explicitly said that these will reflect Malaysian-market units, or even if either will be locally-assembled (CKD), but what we’ll get shouldn’t veer far from these.
Both the Tiggo 7 PHEV CSH and Tiggo 8 PHEV CSH are expected to be launched in Malaysia later this year – click on the links to learn more about the respective models.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
the Chery Tiggo 8 is the one that race at Taklimakan Rally,
it’s chasis is something i got confident at.
The new interior + PHEV is helping this,
well positioned below Jaecoo J8, missing out the CDC too.
Must share the battery cost
U know.. just in case
RV terlalu “jeruk”
Keeping >10yrs
Just use it without battery then
All car brands have no resale value, no matter which car you are buying
This kind of launching really is wasting time. No actual car for consumer, all the huhu haha.
Why is it sounds so similar if not identical to the gwm hybrid system?
GWM hybrid is HEV, this is PHEV, whats the similarity?
1.3L = 100km
1.0L = 75km
RM50 = 24.0L
24.0L = 1800km ???
Hybrid…nice
why are all chinamen cars have logo designed by 2-year-old?
Maybe you are the 2-year-old, since only you can detect this logo is from a 2-year-old
Let hear form the customer, is that true 1200km achievable.
Go try yourself lah before barking
Why all SUVs? Where are the sedans and hatchbacks?
at 1.3l per 100km, that’s is advantage of true Hybrid. perhaps as what toyota propoased, hybrid is the way to go of malaysia to adopt now. since ev infrastructure and current ev range limitation, Hybrid is more realistic. I hope proton takes note for Saga MC3 development. i hope they didn’t missed out possible hybrid benefit from Geely’s pools of drivetrain development
Hope the Chery PHEV model will get the same app access Carlinko like in Omoda E5. This can help the driver to access to the car info like remaining battery (PHEV 18.3kwh), pre-cooling, tyre pressure, window, find my car, unlock the car etc. Since the Omoda E5 price cheaper got this feature Chery should introduce to more EV or PHEV model.
