Available in both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive configurations, the spacious and well-kitted-out Tiggo 7 Pro range has sold over 450 000 units globally in the past year, with just less than a quarter of those sales accredited to the new Tiggo 7 Pro Max.

Here is how much it will cost in local showrooms:

• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Distinction 2WD – R529 900
• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Executive 2WD – R559 900
• Tiggo 7 Pro Max Executive AWD – R609 900

The updated model boasts engine upgrades resulting in more power, and a host of new tech and features. The all-wheel drive system on specific models offers six intelligent driving modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, Muddy and Off-road. Under the bonnet of the 290T badged model of the Chinese SUV is the 1.6 TGDI turbo-petrol ATECO, which has a maximum power and torque outputs of 145kW and 290N.m. Handling shifting duties is a DCT transmission, across the range, that Chery claims ‘delivers exceptional fuel efficiency’.
