Finally, Chery Tiggo 7 Pro has officially launched in Malaysia. We have introduced to you the Proton X70 rival C-segment SUV more fully once now, but there is one piece of the puzzle missing – price. So here you go – available with a locally assembled CKD specification, the Tiggo 7 Pro retails for RM123,800 on the road without insurance. The RRP is slightly lower than the ‘under RM130k’ estimate provided. First 2,000 customers pay only RM119,800this is quite shocking.
Obviously, the highlight of Tiggo 7 Pro is the content that is worth the money spent. With a price tag of RM123,800, Chery is clearly targeting the Proton X70 (and other similarly priced rivals such as the Honda HR-V and Toyota Corolla Cross).

Without the tape, the Chery looks wider than the Geely Boyue-based X70. The T7’s trunk has a volume of 475 liters and a maximum volume of 1,672 liters when the rear seats are folded.
The smaller Omoda 5 is a good reference model internally as it is now a common sight on Malaysian roads. Compared to the B-segment SUV, the Tiggo 7 Pro is 113 mm longer, 32 mm wider and 108 mm taller – all of which are significant advantages. At the other end of the scale, the three-row Tiggo 8 Pro is 209mm longer, although there isn’t much difference in width and height (the T7 is 2mm wider and 9mm shorter).
Compared to the Omoda 5 with its aggressive and low-slung design, the Tiggo 7 looks more like a regular SUV. The upright body features a sloping window line and a black D-pillar to the car rigidity “floating roof” effect. While not as wild as the front of the O5, the front of the T7 is quite bold with a large hexagonal grille containing diamond studs. The blue fins on the air intake are quite unique.

This and the red brake calipers seem like unnecessary ‘sporty’ cues on an SUV that is anything but sporty to drive. But Malaysian car buyers are known for liking all things sporty, even in entry-level premium brand cars.
