The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max is set to gain an all‑wheel‑drive variant in the Russian market, powered by a 1.6‑liter turbo engine. This AWD version marks a notable expansion of the model line, offering enhanced traction and stability across diverse road and weather conditions.
Chery describes the AWD system as a collaboration with the German engineering group ZF Friedrichshafen AG. It features smart control, with a connection response time of about 0.1 seconds, ensuring rapid engagement when grip is challenged.
For the all‑wheel drive configuration, six drive modes are provided to tailor performance: eco, comfort, sport, snow, dirt, and 4×4. The engine delivers 150 horsepower, while maximum torque reaches 275 Nm from 2000 to 3800 rpm, providing a wide spread of usable power for daily driving and more demanding terrains.
In addition to propulsion, the Tiggo 7 Pro Max AWD comes equipped with a suite of driver assistance and safety technologies. Among these are lane departure warning, lane change assist, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, rear collision warning, and autonomous emergency braking, contributing to a higher level of in‑vehicle support and situational awareness.
The Russian representative office of Chery plans to publish the full configuration details and pricing for the new AWD version in the coming days, signaling a concrete step toward market introduction and consumer availability.
As coverage continues, this move will be cataloged alongside other automotive innovations entering the Russian market, with outlets noting developments and potential impacts on local buyers.
Previously, concerns were raised about another model, the Citroën C3, following a Latin NCAP crash test that did not yield a star rating, highlighting the varying safety assessments across competitors in the market.
