Chery Tiggo 7: compact SUV, Tiggo 7 Pro and what to check
The Chery Tiggo 7 is a compact five-seater SUV from the Chinese manufacturer, first introduced in 2016, with the newer Tiggo 7 Pro available from 2020. We look at how the generations differ, which engines are offered, what trims are available, and what to check before buying.
Tiggo 7 in brief
The Tiggo 7 is a compact SUV aimed at family buyers looking for more features and space at a lower price than European or Japanese rivals. The car offers a high driving position, a reasonably spacious interior, and a large boot.
The newer Tiggo 7 Pro stands out with a more modern design, a large central screen, and more extensive safety and comfort features. Both models are rare in Lithuania, and the service network is still being developed.
Which generation to choose
The first generation (from 2016) is simpler and more affordable, with equipment and safety features reflecting an earlier era.
The Tiggo 7 Pro (from 2020) is significantly more modern, with newer engines, screens, and safety systems. If you're considering a used model, it's worth thinking about the availability of parts and service, not just the price.
Engines and transmissions
The Tiggo 7 Pro is most often offered with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine (around 145–150 hp) and a more powerful 1.6-litre turbo (around 190–200 hp). In some markets, a plug-in hybrid version is also available.
Transmissions are automatic (CVT or dual-clutch), with front-wheel drive. The first generation had different, simpler engines.
What to check when buying a used Tiggo 7
First, check how the car was imported and whether it meets European standards. Cars from other markets may differ in equipment, language, and safety systems.
Check if the software has been updated and if all sensors and cameras are working. The maintenance history of the turbo engine and CVT gearbox is very important, as they are sensitive to oil changes.
Look into the availability of spare parts and service centers. Inspect the body for signs of accidents, and check the condition of upholstery and plastics inside the cabin.
