The Chery Tiggo 7 mid-size SUV made its global debut in 2016 as part of the Chinese brand’s push into more premium and globally competitive territory. Positioned between the smaller Tiggo 5x and larger Tiggo 8, the Tiggo 7 targeted families looking for affordable practicality with a modern edge. It featured contemporary styling, a roomy cabin and an array of tech, aimed at competing with the likes of the Mitsubishi Outlander and Kia Sportage.

A second-generation Tiggo 7 launched in 2020, riding on an updated platform with sharper looks and improved safety and infotainment systems. Internationally, it was sold under different names such as the DR 6.0 in Italy, helping the model expand its global footprint. In some markets, the Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 7 Plus added more upscale features and styling cues.

Chery re-entered Australia in 2023, with the Tiggo 7 Pro landing as a competitively priced option in the booming mid-size SUV segment.

The line-up currently starts at $27,990 for the Tiggo 7 Urban and ranges through to $41,990 for the range-topping Tiggo 7 Csh Ultimate.
