Overview
The Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid (from £30,000) is the top version of the Chery Tiggo 7, a plug-in hybrid SUV. It offers a claimed range of 56 mi electric · 745 mi total, 204 hp and 0–62 mph in 8.5 s.
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is the plug-in hybrid version of Chery’s mid-size SUV, and the one most UK buyers should look at. It costs roughly £5,000 more than the petrol car, at about £29,995 for Aspire and £32,995 for Summit, and its headline is a claimed 745-mile total range.
Engine, economy and charging
Chery’s Super Hybrid system pairs a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with an electric motor through a dedicated hybrid transmission. The battery gives an official 56 miles of electric-only driving, enough for most commutes without burning fuel, and the petrol engine extends total range to a claimed 745 miles. As with any plug-in hybrid, the real-world economy depends on how often you charge: run on a flat battery and it behaves like a conventional hybrid.
Performance and driving
Combined output is 204 hp, so 0–62 mph takes 8.5 seconds – nearly a second quicker than the petrol – with a 112 mph top speed. In town it drives mostly as an EV, which suits the soft, comfortable suspension. Push harder and the light steering and early body roll remind you this is a comfort-first family car.
Interior and space
The cabin is the same well-finished design as the petrol Tiggo 7, with soft materials, a sensible driving position and roomy rear seats. The boot is smaller than in many rivals, so check that it suits your buggy or luggage before buying.
Technology and safety
Aspire includes LED lights, heated front seats, dual-zone climate, keyless entry, a reversing camera and twin screens with smartphone mirroring. Summit adds ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a powered tailgate, a panoramic roof and Sony audio. Adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping aids are standard across the range.
Who is it for?
Company-car drivers and families with home charging who want low running costs without paying premium-brand prices. Key rivals are the BYD Seal U DM-i, MG HS Hybrid+ and Jaecoo 7 SHS-P, while the Kia Sportage PHEV is more polished but considerably dearer.
