These customers are happy with their Tiggo 7 Pro units

It looks like the stigma of its initial foray into the local market has been largely erased with the brand’s resurgence, as the first batch of Tiggo 7 Pro units that arrived here were all lapped up in just a month following the model’s launch. Were the owners merely buying into the hype, or did they see something worth investing their hard-earned money on?  

Kurt De Castro

For Kurt De Castro, the Tiggo 7 Pro's power and exceptional warranty sealed the deal  

“I got hooked on its looks. The power output is spot on,” said 26-year-old Kurt De Castro, who works as a quality engineer. “I was surprised by how clear the [360-degree] camera is even at night. Plus the warranty and PMS that’s free for 3 years? At first, I tend to have doubts but Chery gave me the strong assurance that they got my back.”

Another Tiggo 7 Pro owner, Onin Estimo, raved about the model’s design. “It’s future-ready and professional-looking. Its luxurious features can only be found on expensive cars. The 360-degree camera is clear, providing a 3D and wide-angle view which are helpful to new drivers and those who are used to driving smaller cars.”

Electrical engineer Albert Obiano agrees. “It's gorgeous. Its design is strong and aesthetic. When it comes to high technology and safety, the Tiggo 7 PRO offers bold features that make every drive filled with comfort. I have a panoramic sunroof, and I can shift to Sport mode for fast highway drives.”

Fellow Chery customer Marvin Poscablo found something else to rave about besides the Tiggo 7 Pro’s exterior. “The more you look at it, the more you love it. From its powerful engine to the state-of-the-art interior, there isn’t anything else to ask for. For me, its best asset is its spacious cabin coupled with comfortable leather seats that hold you nice and tight on corners.”

Chery Auto Philippines President Rommel Sytin shares why he thinks customers have so far been gushing over the Tiggo 7 Pro. “Like true smart consumers, these Chery Tiggo 7 Pro owners appreciate great value for money. This is why they have all gravitated towards the all-new Tiggo 7 Pro.”
