Chery Tiggo 7 2026 Interior

Inside, the Tiggo 7 features a tech-forward cabin featuring dual digital displays across the dashboard — a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a matching 12.3-inch central touchscreen.

The design is contemporary, with synthetic leather trim on all grades and ambient LED lighting available in up-spec trims.

Wireless phone charging, a panoramic sunroof, and a Sony eight-speaker sound system further enhance the sense of refinement and functionality on the top-spec ultimate.

Chery Tiggo 7 2026 Engine

There are two engine options available.

The entry-level Tiggo 7 runs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine (115kW/230Nm) mated to a CVT automatic transmission driving the front wheels.

The headline Super Hybrid combines a revised 1.5-litre engine with an electric motor and a dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT), delivering a total of 180kW and 385Nm to the front wheels. This system prioritises electric drive at lower speeds and petrol-electric transitions on the open road.

Chery Tiggo 7 2026 Seats

The 2026 Chery Tiggo 7 remains a five-seat mid-size SUV, with the larger Tiggo 8 serving as the seven-seat option in the brand's range.

The seating is upholstered in synthetic leather across all variants. Unique to the higher-grade variants is a driver’s seat with memory function and ventilation, while the rear seats offer a near-flat recline and a 60/40 split-fold for versatile cargo loading.

Chery Tiggo 7 2026 Boot Space

Boot capacity in combustion versions of the 2026 Tiggo 7 is a generous 356 litres with all seats up, expanding to 1500 litres with the rear seats folded flat.

The cargo area features a two-level floor, underfloor storage and a retractable tonneau cover, making it suitable for everything from weekly groceries to weekend adventures. However, Super Hybrids have a more limited space, with the under-floor area taken up by the 12-volt battery and high-voltage inverter.

Chery Tiggo 7 2026 Speed

Performance varies depending on powertrain.

The new Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid delivers a 0-100km/h time of around 7.2 seconds.

The entry-level petrol-only model takes a more modest 10.3 seconds to reach 100km/h, topping out at 190km/h.

Chery Tiggo 7 2026 Range

The petrol-only Tiggo 7 claims 6.8L/100km on the combined cycle, thanks to start-stop tech and aerodynamic tweaks.

The Super Hybrid drops that figure significantly, achieving just 1.4L/100km according to official ADR testing. It houses a 55L fuel tank and a 18.3kWh battery, offering a claimed driving range over 1000km per tank under real-world conditions. The brand claims hybrid verisons will drink under 6.0L/100km even when the battery is at reserve level
