The new Special Edition Tiggo 7 Pro is the cheapest medium sized SUV available, now under $30000 driveaway. Good value with a lot of features for the price. Reviews suggest interior space is better than a CX-5.
It's not the best car but it's a good cheap option for situations such as new or expanding families.
7 year warranty and capped price servicing. Up to 7 years roadside assistance if serviced at a Chery dealership.
Funny thing is that there are many people who put 95 into cars that don't even need it
A bargain
Will they be around in 7 years?
Holden is gone and Nissan is just hanging on for dear life, with the influx of cheap Chinese ev's arriving downunder you'll need to be clairvoyant to know who'll be around in even 5 years.
The difference is there is still widespread support, knowledge and parts for those. For a brand and models that never truly become mainstream we've seen it countless times before, they end up as land fill far quicker than ought too. And considering for a lot of these chinese brands we're little more than a stock overflow outlet you'd have to be a supreme optimist to think they'd give 2 hoots about genuine support when leaving the market. You'd think a brand like BYD will make it long term, but there are plenty that wont and no doubt some will be surprises.
Will the car?
I bet money Chery is far more likely to stay in the Australian market than Honda.

How much?
The ccp will ensure they will be…
is cherry a good brand?
Budget brand similar to MG… I believe they exited the Aus market once before and now are back along with other Chinese brands. There's always the risk of them exiting the market if sales aren't great.
I can't comment on quality of their cars, so you may need to do some searching there to see what the end customers experiences have been like.
I was reading Australia will have 60 car brands this year with 100.000 vehicles coming in each month .I wonder what going to happen with the Ewaste & land fill.
ship it off to Africa ?
100,000 new vehicles per month and there are still plenty of jokers asking covid prices for clapped out sh—boxes.
@Torrent lord: Yeah totally agree I've been looking around to update my car the second hand car/SUV market is full of insanely over priced junk .
So one vehicle for every future labor voter the Albanese government is importing?
@Mike Nolan: disgraceful to use the great mike nolan's name and likeness to make such rubbish partisan comments
No
You can try cherry at local wollie, iga, aldi and coles
Why is that a problem?
Because the "free market" is only good while it benefits those that espouse it.
You’re kidding yourself if you think these manufacturers aren’t receiving foreign government assistance, ie. not a true free and fair market.
@PainToad: In the case of Chery, the company is actually state owned by some municipal government within China which has invested hundreds of millions into building up its ability to manufacture vehicles. It will be interesting to see where this brand lands in a few years considering the fiscal problems that Chinese municipal governments are now facing.
With that said, it would make no sense to place tariffs on vehicles from China considering that we don't have any domestic car manufacturing industry and never will. We might as well pick up cheap vehicles courtesy of Chinese taxpayers.

Aren't all of them ? GM only exists because Obama pumped a gazillion dollars into it and it has so much debt it has to fold some time unless it's propped up yet again. Tesla exists only because of Government credits (more then 1/2 their Q4 revenue was the creative accounting of unrealised crypto gains and Government credits) and on and on
We tax payers spent a fortune propping up Aussie car manufactures for many years but no one wanted much of the crap they made.
Or is is it only when the CCCP do it that its so unfair ?
Producing excess and selling it overseas is called trade, that the central planning of the CCCP may be superior to the quasi socialistic capatilism system we live under seems to stick in the craw of many.
This is not a defence of either, they're all as toxic as hell, including our own. I am happy for the Chinese to subside E cars (which is where they are mostly concentrating) , its not like Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, Stellantis, VW, Jaguar Rover etal are doing a stellar job.
GM only exists because Obama pumped a gazillion dollars into it
And now you understand why The last election turned out he way it did.
Or is is it only when the CCCP do it that its so unfair ?
You mean CCP? The Soviet Union hasn't existed for over 30 years.
that the central planning of the CCCP may be superior to…
Is it? So why do you choose to live here and not there? Seriously, why don't you move there if you really honestly think it's better? Strange how none of the angry socialists never ever want to go live in one of their socialist Utopias… The silence on this is deafening.
Because the "free market" is only good while it benefits those that espouse it.
Tell us you have no idea what a free market is…
@1st-Amendment: I don't. Because it doesn't exist. Never has, never can, never will. They're always tainted by powers and politics.
(I suspect your idea of a free market is a predominantly white capitalist class in control of it?)
Tariffs to protect what 😂
Manufacturers from other markets so we don’t become completely reliant on a single country if there’s ever geopolitical issues or another pandemic that stops supply.
Australia is in the perfect position to benefit from a trade war.
The EU and the USA will protect their industry, China will continue to price competitively but will not control the market.
Australia should do nothing. Every other option is against our interests. We don't need to pay 25% more for cars to protect GM and Ford's profits while they make cars in Mexico.
An no, it doesn't make a difference if they move production back into the USA. As we are unable to tax the profits made on imported goods the best we can hope for is to import them as cheaply as possible.
lol!!! On the flip for shits n giggles it could fund cleaning up the aftermath when they brands start going bust and leaving consumers high n dry. Seems pretty inevitable outcome for some of these brands.
Tariffs to protect what
My guess is a lot of cases with the Chinese cars - racial / national / political superiority.
What to compete with our locally made cars?
cars made in or by countries we would prefer to spy on us….
Does Australia has a domestic car manufacturer to protect, 😂
Tough crowd, was obviously a joke 😅
The haval
As a mostly random guess from observation, great wall will probably have more staying power in aus than cherry.
Jolion is a smaller car
Walking.
We have a Haval h6 hybrid ultra. Honestly been almost a year and the car is really good for what we paid. Bigger than this . If you don’t want hybrid I think they are only a few thousands more than the cherry shown here. H6 is a bigger car though.
Name was copied from VW Tiguan (Tig).
That would be $4000 more expensive for the SE+ variant.
What's the difference between this SE model and the regular model they had previously?
One year
I guess the way to look at these vehicles is that by the end of the warranty it probably only worth 10 /20% of what you paid for it or sell it for scrap value .
Looking forward to 7 year old SUVs for $6k. Let OzBargain know when you find one.

Page 3, urban fuel consumption of 9.3L / 100KM, from a 4 cyl turbo engine?
That's their number, so figure will most likely be higher.
That's pretty woeful from something that slow .
Everyone complains they are cheap, even if you have a brand new car and throw it out in 7 years, that's $4,800 per year. Which is a LOT cheaper than buying a $80k car and sell it in 7 years when it's worth $$30k or leas
Literally, you can use it as a one time use disposable vehicle at 7 years.
But what you seem to fail to see, is that the features on these cars, are what other cars have in their top of the range models for $120k+
In 7 years, those $120k+ cars would of lost at least $50k in depreciation. Still more than the purchase price of these cars.
Yeah…. but it's a Chery… I mean, some Chinese cars I would consider… but Chery? I guess it's a good price?
I am waiting for Pro Ultra Plus SE Ghia
That's the 2024 model. 2025 is all about the slim air model.
95 Ron and higher is definitely a negative.
