The Tiggo 7 Pro has been one of the most successful models in Chery Philippines’ lineup in terms of sales. But that won't stop Chery Auto Philippines from taking the offering up a notch as it introduced the Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid.
Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid
Previewed at the 2023 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid is equipped with a mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) powertrain capable of improving the compact crossover's fuel efficiency and performance. More importantly, the powertrain setup can reduce carbon emissions.
"With the introduction of the Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid, we aim to make sustainable driving a norm for every Filipino car buyer. And we are doing it by offering a mild hybrid at a very practical price," said United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI) Chairman Rommel Sytin.
The hybrid powertrain enhances performance and efficiency
The new Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid pairs a 48-volt belt starter generator system with its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, producing a combined output of 156 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque. In comparison to the non-hybrid Tiggo 7 Pro, the electrified powertrain has gained 11 more horsepower and 20 more Nm of torque.
The vehicle uses a 9-speed CVT
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.
The Tiggo 7 Pro is now available for a test drive
Now available for a test drive, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid joins the Tiggo 8 Pro PHEV in the Chinese automaker's electrified lineup in the country. The Tiggo 5X Pro Hybrid could also be part of the lineup following its preview at the said auto show.
