RIP German manufacturers - at this starting price, its really difficult to justify spending 25% more for an entry level german crossover - and South Africans are really loving Chery and Haval
Nice, honest review mate!!! Stunning cars, but I agree 110%… the front is cramped. Im 2m tall and I don’t fit into any of them. My head hits the roof (because if the sunroof) and getting my legs behind the wheel is a chore because the seat doesnt go down or back far enough… You’re the first person to mention this in your review! Seems like it was made with Eastern people in mind…
I went today September 09/ .....and yes i love ❤ it. For me why... coz its going to be my last new car 🚗 for my retirement. Love the spare wheel. Thank you 😊
I’m getting 9.2 l/100km on my non-turbo, manual 2.0 litre Mazda CX-5 on short urban drives to the mall/gym and back, here in Joburg. But longer highway drives at the speed limit or thereabouts brings my consumption down quite a lot so that I am averaging just under 7.5 l/100km overall. So a similar consumption of 7.5 for the Tiggo 7’s automatic 1.6 turbo engine is quite comparable, contrary to my initial expectations, just based on people saying that Chinese cars are thirsty. As the Yanks say, ‘your mileage may vary’, so yeah, definitely worth a test drive as that fuel consumption isn’t bad at all.
It isn't bad yes. My friends have the Tiggo 8 Pro with the 1.6 turbo. It's a 7 seater and bigger and heavier than the Tiggo 7. We did a trip to Cape Town and we averaged 7.3 litre per 100kms with 4 adult passengers and all our luggage.
Look at how nicely the sides of the boot is covered in carpet. In the SUVs from Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, etc it's all plastic. And when it gets old the sides look all scratched and ugly but the Chery will still look great because it's covered.
I have been avoiding accepting the Chery Tiggo range and today I decided to visit a Chery dealership and the guy who walked me through the car he blew my mind I started messing around with the car and I started realising that this car was an all rounder a must have vehicle and finally I came to tje conclusion I want to get this car
You don't get leather seats in the R1 million German cars too. The C Class, 3 series, even E class etc is faux leather. No one has real leather unless you add expensive optional extras on the German cars. So that point is irrelevant on it not being leather. Even cars double the price don't use real leather.
You are going to work even when you're sick. The Chinese don't play around with their money, if they pay you for a 'review', you will deliver that review.
@@michaelliu4090 lmaooo. Is this British company headquartered in Beijing? And do the higher ups speak oddly broken English and answer the phone 'herro'?
I just checked the BAIC X55 and the GAC Emkoo. Really good value for money also. Best so far in terms of value for money here in Mauritius: 1. Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max (10 years or 1M Kms engine and trans warranty, 10 years or 300K Kms bumper to bumper warranty) 2. GAC Emkoo (5 years or 150K Kms bumper to bumper warranty, engine and trans included). 3. BAIC X55 II (5 years or 100K Kms warranty bumper to bumper, engine and trans included). 4. Proton X70 (I think it's 5 years or 150Kms warranty...but forgot if it's bumper to bumper). Though Haval has provided excellent warranty too, I feel that they need to work a bit more on their offerings.

South Africans are loving them! Thanks for watching
I back Chinese cars. Go China

This car is everything we need. Great features it has
It is a great car. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for in-depth review Greg.

Would love to fast forward 2/3 years and check resale. This is my concern always as need a substantial amount to upgrade

Oooh and on the dash u can change your colors ❤
Great value for money. Beijing X55 would be an interesting head to head test
😮nice review keep it up
Thanks so much! i appreciate the feedback. A new video is up ;)
They really should put the 8 max engine in these, 2.0L turbo will be amazing
I agree... but then that shoots up the price and then the 2 cars are competing with each other which doesn't work.
Get well soon man.
Thank you! Already on the mend. Thanks for watching
I wonder what will happen if you ask it to open the tailgate while in transit
🤣 🤣 🤣 But why would you even do that, mate?
It won't open, it was created with safety in mind so I doubt it would maybe when it's not in motion
What is the highest engine capacity of a tiggo 7 pro max and what is the estimated price and fuel consumption?
All these cars should be Hybrids. It’s what we all need if we wanting 6.5L/100km and less

I think the point he’s trying to make is that a lot of car reviewers just say leather when it’s not leather.
I can already see the future without window switches replaced by the voice command😂
Let's hope that's not the case lol
is it economic car or what ?
No not really... it's a balance of "OK" fuel consumption, comfort and tech,.

Well, I work for a British company... And that's the expectation here too... Blame capitalism...not the country...
@@michaelliu4090 lmaooo. Is this British company headquartered in Beijing? And do the higher ups speak oddly broken English and answer the phone 'herro'?
@@biggeststeppa1 nah... headquartered in London and owned by a British guy. It's all about...profits, profits and...profits...
11:50 it has the poop sticker, it cant hide it true identity
The 7 is the only good value Chinese vehicle. The others not so much.
This and the H6 are great. But i'd take this over the current H6
The Tiggo 8 is amazing value.
I just checked the BAIC X55 and the GAC Emkoo. Really good value for money also.

The other gender they will be asking Chery if they can fart inside, Chery voice command be like "OK".......................... Nice stuff
hahaha that would be funny
🤣 🤣 🤣
