By the end of 2023, the Tiggo 7 Pro hybrid crossover was slated for availability through Chery dealerships in Russia, with plans to broaden the hybrid lineup into 2024. The company’s press materials obtained by socialbites.ca indicated a continuing push to expand hybrid power in the lineup, signaling a broader strategy to offer electrified options across multiple markets. In North America and across Canadian networks, the emphasis remained on giving consumers a compelling blend of efficiency and performance while maintaining the practical traits that define the Tiggo family.
The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid is equipped with a 1.5-liter internal combustion engine producing 156 horsepower, paired with a 170 horsepower electric motor and an integrated motor generator. The combined output reaches 326 horsepower and 510 Newton-meters of torque, with a transmission described as a three-speed automated system and front-wheel drive as the standard configuration. This setup highlights how Chery integrates hybrid technology to deliver a balanced ride, strong on-demand torque, and improved fuel efficiency for urban commutes and longer highway journeys alike.
As autumn approached, Chery representatives outlined plans to introduce the hybrid Arrizo 8, a sedan configured for the Russian market in 2024, alongside continued updates to the Tiggo line. The Tiggo 8 Pro e+ was positioned for a May rollout with expectations to reach broader markets, including retail channels abroad, and was anticipated to remain on sale in Russia through December. The current Tiggo 8 Pro e+ in the market boasted a 326 horsepower powertrain and a range extending beyond a thousand kilometers on a full charge combined with a full fuel tank, underscoring Chery’s push to demonstrate real-world versatility and driving range for hybrid and plug-in hybrid SUV buyers in North America as well as international markets.
The prior introduction of the Tiggo 7 Pro in Russia underscored the brand’s confidence in the model’s appeal, particularly for buyers seeking a practical compact SUV with a hybrid drivetrain. Across Canada and the United States, these developments have been positioned within a broader strategy to offer electrified options that align with local fuel economy standards and consumer demand for versatile family vehicles. While market availability can vary by country, the emphasis remains on delivering reliable performance, modern features, and an efficient powertrain that makes daily driving more economical without sacrificing comfort or capability.
