CHERY TIGGO 7 UK launch marks a bold move into the compact SUV market, and it’s one that British buyers should watch closely. With prices starting from just £24,995, this five-seater crossover combines tech, comfort, and two efficient powertrain options.
Built for the UK’s needs, the CHERY TIGGO 7 has been refined by CHERY International’s European R&D centre. The result is an SUV that feels confident on British roads while offering solid efficiency and standout features. Whether you’re looking for a high-tech petrol SUV or a hybrid that can stretch your mileage further, this newcomer has options to consider.
Built to Compete in the UK Compact SUV Market
CHERY is clearly serious about establishing itself in the UK. The CHERY TIGGO 7 arrives not long after the brand officially launched operations here. Positioned as a value-packed rival in one of Britain’s busiest segments, the TIGGO 7 aims to deliver standout tech, comfort, and practicality without inflating the price tag.
There are two trims to choose from, Aspire and Summit, both five-seaters with a long list of standard features. The Aspire gets you premium kit like dual-zone climate control, synthetic leather seating, adaptive cruise control, and a SONY audio system. The Summit adds more comfort and convenience with heated seats, an upgraded sound system, a hands-free tailgate, and even puddle lamps.
CHERY TIGGO 7 UK Powertrain Options and Performance
You’ve got two engine choices with the CHERY TIGGO 7 in the UK. The petrol version runs on a 1.6-litre TDGI engine pushing out 147 PS and 275 Nm of torque. That’s good for a 0-62 mph sprint in 9.4 seconds and a top speed of 112 mph.
Go for the Super Hybrid, and you get plug-in capability, fast charging, and a combined WLTP range of 745 miles. Of that, 56 miles are all-electric. The hybrid model also cuts the 0-62 mph time to 8.5 seconds, matching the petrol version’s top speed. It’s powered by an 18.3kWh CATL battery that fast-charges in just 20 minutes (30-80%).
Everyday Tech That Feels Anything But Basic
The CHERY TIGGO 7 is packed with the kind of tech you’d expect from pricier rivals. Inside, there’s a twin 12.3-inch curved screen layout, one for infotainment, the other for the driver’s display. You also get 540-degree cameras with a transparent chassis view and multiple driving modes.
The infotainment system is sharp and responsive. Wireless charging comes cooled as standard, and SONY audio systems (6 or 8 speakers, depending on trim) are a nice surprise in this price range. Add in features like adaptive cruise and a heated steering wheel, and the CHERY TIGGO 7 feels like it belongs in a more premium class.
Exterior Design That Makes a Statement
This isn’t just another generic SUV shape. The TIGGO 7 wears CHERY’s signature diamond grille, a floating roof, and distinctive tiger’s eye rear lights. Up front, crystal-coloured IQ LED headlights complete a modern, high-end look. It’s stylish without being loud, perfect for drivers who want presence without flash.
Value for Money and Peace of Mind
At £24,995 for the petrol Aspire and £29,995 for the Super Hybrid, the CHERY TIGGO 7 is competitively priced. That value goes further thanks to a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, with unlimited mileage in the first 3 years. The hybrid version even adds an 8-year battery warranty for added confidence.
Buyers can expect long-term savings with the hybrid model’s low CO₂ output (just 23 g/km), making it a tax-friendly option for business drivers. Add in CHERY’s growing UK support network and it becomes a strong contender for families, commuters, and SUV fans alike.
Summary
The CHERY TIGGO 7 brings real competition to the compact SUV class in the UK. With a blend of bold design, smart tech, and two solid engine options, it stands out from the crowd. Whether you’re after a capable daily driver or a hybrid to stretch your mileage, the CHERY TIGGO 7 is well worth a closer look this summer.
