2026 Chery Tiggo 7 Summary

This is Australia’s most affordable plug-in hybrid vehicle.

It’s the Chery Tiggo 7 ‘Super Hybrid’ and you can have one for just $39,990 drive-away at the time we put this review together.

It beats the BYD Sealion 6, MG HS, and Mitsubishi Outlander when it comes to plug-in hybrid value then, but is it too good to be true?

Is the Tiggo 7 plug-in marred by caveats, or is it the new bar to beat when it comes to fuel-sipping hybrid value?

Stick with us as we find out.

2024 GWM UTE Summary

The Cannon XSR is GWM’s new top-shelf ute variant.

This dual-cab 4WD ute is intended as an off-road-focussed vehicle and has visual and mechanical upgrades over the rest of the Cannon stable, including part-time 4WD (not the full-time 4WD on GWM’s lower-spec Cannons), a front differential lock (in addition to the existing rear diff lock), raised air intake (aka a snorkel) and Cooper Discoverer AT3 all-terrain tyres.

It’s priced from $52,990 drive-away, so costs about $7500 more than you’d pay for the standard Cannon X on which this special edition ute is based. But it still undercuts similarly-equipped top-spec Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux utes by about $20,000.

So, with twin lockers, a snorkel, underbody protection and all-terrain tyres, is the GWM XSR worth the extra cash?
