Chery Auto is riding high on the last quarter of the year. 

Chery Auto Philippines enters the final months of 2021 on a roll, posting sales figures which have been steadily climbing despite the pandemic. The company reports that the number of units turned over to customers in October grew by 33 percent compared to September. Year-to-date sales have been even more robust, with Chery posting a 194-percent growth compared to 2020.

Two models in the Chery lineup contributed to these numbers: the entry-level Tiggo 2 subcompact crossover and the all-new Tiggo 7 Pro compact SUV. Together, both vehicles account for 66 percent of the carmaker’s overall sales for October. 

Sales of the Tiggo 2 have been particularly brisk, as the vehicle retails for a relatively affordable Php 695,000. For the price, the Tiggo 2 offers seating for five, with amenities such as an 8-inch touchscreen and remote unlocking tailgate.

Safety features include dual airbags, electronic stability control, and a reverse camera. A 1.5-liter gasoline engine powers the Tiggo 2, rated at 106 horsepower and 135 Nm of torque. This is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the front wheels.    

On the other hand, customers flocked to showrooms for a chance to glimpse the Tiggo 7 Pro which was launched only this year. Available in four exterior colors, the compact crossover’s European styling is headlined by a fascia featuring Matrix LED headlamps flanking a studded grille. The interior features a large panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control 

Inside the Tiggo 7 Pro is a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that makes 145 horsepower and 210 Nm of torque, partnered with a 9-speed continuously variable transmission. Six airbags lead the number of safety features aboard the vehicle, including anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, emergency brake assist, and traction control.

According to Chery, other factors that contributed to its sales growth are the 10-year/ one-million-kilometer engine warranty offered on its vehicles. This is on top of the standard 5-year general warranty, 3-year roadside assistance, and free full preventive maintenance services for the first three years of ownership. 

"We at Chery Auto Philippines work together to make sure that the Filipino car buyer gets exactly the car they want at the price they need," said newly appointed CHERY Auto Philippines President Erroll Duenas. "Filipinos need dependable, safe yet affordable cars and we have the right mix of value-packed models with luxury, comfort, and safety features to meet any need or suit any budget."
