Chery has introduced the Tiggo 7 Plug-In Hybrid to the Ukrainian market, featuring a blend of innovative technology and familiar design elements. This model incorporates the Chery Super Hybrid system, which combines a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a DHT transmission and an electric motor, aimed at enhancing fuel efficiency.
The Tiggo 7 Plug-In Hybrid showcases a distinctive “closed” grille typical of modern electric vehicles, along with striking front and rear bumpers and a complex headlight design. The vehicle is equipped with advanced LED headlights that, paired with a light sensor, ensure optimal visibility in various driving conditions. The rear lights are designed with a unique graphic signature, making the vehicle easily recognizable.
With a ground clearance of 175 mm, this crossover is well-suited for family adventures, though it features front-wheel drive. Its design includes small approach and departure angles, but the robust powertrain can handle off-road challenges effectively.
Inside, the Tiggo 7 Plug-In Hybrid greets drivers with a dual-screen dashboard, each measuring 12.3 inches. The climate control system is user-friendly, featuring widely spaced controls that are easy to access. The vehicle also includes a surround-view camera system, dual-zone climate control, and compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with wireless charging and keyless entry.
The transmission selector serves a dual purpose, allowing drivers to choose a regenerative energy mode while decelerating. The driver’s seat offers electric adjustments for comfort, accommodating taller individuals easily. The rear seating area provides ample space, with thoughtful child seat anchor placements.
The standard trunk capacity is 484 liters, expandable to 1,305 liters with the rear seats folded down, and includes retractable hooks for convenience.
The hybrid system features a 1.5 TGDI gasoline engine paired with a highly efficient DHT transmission, achieving thermal efficiency of 44.5% and generating 143 horsepower and 215 Nm of torque. The DHT transmission boasts up to 98.5% efficiency in electric mode, allowing the Tiggo 7 Plug-In Hybrid to balance performance and comfort.
Under the floor lies an 18.3 kWh battery, enabling an electric range of up to 90 km. The vehicle supports rapid charging at a maximum power of 42.6 kW, allowing for an 80% charge in just 19 minutes. In fully electric mode, the vehicle consumes no gasoline, with energy usage around 20 kWh/100 km.
Once the battery is depleted, the system automatically switches to hybrid mode, where both the electric and gasoline engines work together, achieving fuel consumption of approximately 6 liters per 100 km. Official WLTP figures indicate combined consumption can vary based on driving style and battery charge levels.
The model is available in a single Premium configuration, equipped with seven airbags, hill descent assistance, tire pressure monitoring, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and traffic jam assistance.
Chery offers an 84-month or 200,000 km warranty on the Tiggo 7 Plug-In Hybrid, which can be purchased at a promotional price starting from 1,349,000 UAH at authorized dealerships across Ukraine.
Chery has launched the Tiggo 7 Plug-In Hybrid in Ukraine, featuring advanced hybrid technology and a spacious interior. With a focus on fuel efficiency and modern amenities, this family-friendly crossover is now available for purchase.
