Overview
The Chery Tiggo 7 is a five-seat C-segment SUV sold in Malaysia solely as a front-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid. It suits drivers who want the performance and plug-in hybrid layout of its 1,498 cc powertrain rather than a conventional petrol SUV. Prices start from RM129,400, with one PHEV specification available.
Tiggo 7 in 2026 — what's new
The second-facelift Tiggo 7 generation enters 2026 as the 2025-launched model, unchanged in Malaysian specification. The range remains a single PHEV variant with a 1,498 cc petrol plug-in hybrid powertrain, 340 hp, front-wheel drive and a single-ratio automatic transmission. It also carries a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating under the outgoing 2021-2025 assessment protocol.
Verdict
The Tiggo 7’s case rests on a 340 hp plug-in hybrid powertrain and a five-star ASEAN NCAP result. Its price is RM25,600 above the Proton eMas 7 and RM22,600 above the Proton X70 and Jetour Dashing, but it is only RM400 below the Jetour T1 and RM500 below the MG HS. The PHEV layout must therefore be the reason to buy it, rather than the cheapest route into a C-segment SUV.
