Chery Unveils Updated Tiggo 7 Pro Max for Russia with Fresh Styling and Tech Upgrades
Chery has rolled out an updated Tiggo 7 Pro Max crossover for the Russian market, highlighting a slate of refinements announced by the manufacturer’s press service. The refresh focuses on appearance, equipment, and performance, delivering a more capable compact SUV for buyers seeking modern features in a compact package.
The exterior gains a new look, including a redesigned radiator grille, revised headlamps, and a bumper edged with crossover styling accents. The color palette expands to six finishes: black, silver, blue, white, gray and red, with an optional two tone paint option available at an extra cost to further personalize the vehicle for style-conscious buyers.
Powertrain and drive options remain familiar with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The flagship Tiggo 7 Pro Max arrives with a six airbag configuration, LED lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and a comprehensive display system that spans the cabin. Navigation and voice control are included to assist daily driving and long trips alike. The interior remains consistent with the existing layout, housing a 1.6-liter engine delivering 150 horsepower, paired with a robotic dual-clutch transmission. In front-wheel drive form, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 9.7 seconds, offering brisk performance for urban and highway driving.
Industry observers previously noted that strong used values exist for the Tiggo 7 Pro in the Russian secondary market, with estimates around 1.5 million rubles for models from the Middle Kingdom. The SQRE4T15C engine is recognized for durability, capable of covering several hundred thousand kilometers when properly maintained. Yet analysts also warned that the WLY CVT25 transmission can be a weak point, with reports of bearing and bushing failures and a number of CVTs requiring repairs before hitting the 150,000 km mark. These insights help buyers weigh long-term ownership costs and maintenance needs when considering a late model Tiggo 7 Pro Max or its earlier variants.
