The latest Chinese crossover, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max, is positioned with a top-end Prestige trim priced at 2.83 million rubles in Russia. This figure, reported by industry outlets, highlights a model that aims to offer a higher level of equipment and comfort within the brand’s current lineup. In Russia, demand for new crossovers from Chinese manufacturers has been a talking point for months, and the Tiggo 7 Pro Max appears as a flagship proposition intended to strengthen that segment even further.
Sales in Russia are slated to commence in December, marking the first wave of official availability for the new Tiggo 7 Pro Max. While the company has not yet staged a formal unveiling event in the country, prospective buyers will likely encounter the model through dealer networks and showroom demonstrations as the calendar moves toward year-end. The variant set at 2.83 million rubles comes equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivering about 158 horsepower and 230 newton-meters of torque. Power is channeled through a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive, combining a balance of urban practicality and highway efficiency that has become typical of modern compact crossovers.
Official documentation indicates the Tiggo 7 Pro Max shares a substantial amount of its mechanical backbone with the Tiggo 7 Pro currently available in the Russian market. In essence, the core engineering platform remains consistent, with the most visible differences lying in exterior design cues and the level of equipment and features offered. This approach allows Chery to leverage established supply chains and production know-how while presenting a refreshed silhouette and an updated feature set that targets buyers seeking a more premium appearance and experience.
Within the existing Tiggo lineup in Russia, buyers currently have access to two trim levels for the Tiggo 7 Pro. The Elite configuration is listed at 2.65 million rubles, while the Prestige variant is priced at 2.78 million rubles. The introduction of the Tiggo 7 Pro Max at 2.83 million rubles would place it above the current Prestige tier, suggesting a step up in equipment, materials, and perhaps technology features that align with the latest market expectations for this segment. The pricing strategy points to a clear ladder approach, enabling customers to move up to newer comfort and safety systems without abandoning the familiar Tiggo basis.
This development sits alongside broader market signals: in the third week of November, the share of Chinese cars in the Russian market reached new highs, reflecting a growing consumer interest in Chinese brands and the perceived value they bring in terms of equipment, warranty coverage, and modern design. The emergence of a higher-end Tiggo 7 Pro Max complements ongoing plans to broaden Chinese brand coverage in Russia with new models. At the same time, chatter about a future introduction of another Chery model, the Arrizo 6 Pro, has circulated as part of the brand’s longer-term strategy to expand its Russian footprint.
