In terms of fuel efficiency, a start and stop system has been added, which shuts the engine off when the vehicle is at a standstill. The hybrid setup also regenerates energy during coasting or braking and converts it to electric energy stored in the batteries.

"Sustainable driving is for all and we would like to make sustainable mobility solutions practical for everyone," added Sytin.

Chery Auto Philippines will offer the Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid with a Php 100,000 savings as part of its introductory promotions, resulting in a Php 1,250,000 net selling price. It can be had in white, gray, red, silver, and black.
