To put the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro to the test, the stylish compact crossover was driven by members of the Chery Tiggo Crossovers volleyball team. Each one was impressed not only with the apparent stylish look of the Tiggo 7 Pro, but also its on-board features.

“The steering is light, it’s very comfortable yet sporty to drive. The interior is very spacious and quiet and has advanced features. I’m amazed by the 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, and power tailgate, which makes parking and loading cargo very easy,” said the team's opposite spiker Dindin Santiago-Manabat.
