Caoa Chery, a company that combines national expertise with Chinese technology, has already shown that it’s possible to develop vehicles of high quality, advanced technology, and premium finish. Now, the brand announces two major novelties for the Brazilian automotive market: the new Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 SUVs. Initially, the models will be imported, but will later be manufactured at the Caoa Chery unit in Anápolis (GO), strengthening national production.

The main novelty for the Brazilian automotive market is the engine of the Caoa Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Plug-In Hybrid. The model received two electric motors combined with a 1.5 turbo combustion engine. This, which makes up the new SUVs from Caoa Chery, can now deliver 317 hp of power and 56.6 kgfm of torque. The transmission features DHT technology and manages the three motors intelligently.
The result is an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds. Despite the power, the brand claims that fuel consumption can reach 36.9 km/l in the city and 30.2 km/l on the highway. The 100% electric capacity of the model is 63 km. The Tiggo 7 PHEV is also somewhat larger in dimensions compared to its mild hybrid version.
