How come these Chinese SUVs look like several Japanese SUVs from different angles. Suppose Chery has been lagging the other Chinese manufacturers on the reverse engineering front?
Personally I like the latest offerings from the Chinese brands such as Chery, Haval etc. They look good, are usually packed to the brim with tech. that is normally only found in expensive top trim levels of rival car manufacturers from Japan and Europe. Unfortunately due to the perception of 'Chinese' vehicles, the resale value of these car brands prevent them from having greater adoption in Australia. Perhaps in another 5-10 years and their reliability holds up, they could become the new Korean of vehicles. More competition, better for consumers.
Great review, so good you got me to leave my first ever comment 🎉 I got the AWD on 30/11 and am really happy with it, great trip car and you can turn off the start stop and keep it in sports mode and the economy is surprisingly better over time, you get to speed cleaner so not pushing the accelerator as long, the more it’s driven the better the economy gets
This light grey woud look gorgeous with the maroon interior. The front wheel drive certainly wouldn't handle the bends as well as the Awd. And the seven speed speed dual clutch is much better than the cvts that just spoil the ride in any car. The interior fit and finish looks as plush as any Japanese or German suv in this class. Full size spare si a rarity these days. So all in all , im adding this Tiggo 7 to my shopping options. Good review guys. Thanks 🙏
These guys should have much higher subscriber numbers, probably my favorite car review channel right now, fair, honest, funny and most importantly...NOT brand snobs like so many car journos on RUclips! Keep it up!
Had my Ultimate AWD Model since early November. Been great so far. The intro song can be disabled and you can set what drive mode you want when starting the car. The "DMS" Driver Monitoring System unfortunately can't be disabled even though it says in the manual you can toggle on or off. Hopefully that's added in a future software update.
In Indonesia we've got the tiggo8 with 2.0 turbo gasoline engine capable of 250hp and 390 Nm of torque. It's FWD version 0 to 100 took around 7 second. The interior however it's a bit different, really nice and solid to drive.
If it's like the Omoda 5 with the music when you enter, you eventually get over it. Which can actually be turned off by switching the boot music button.. Surely it should be the same for the tiggo 7 pro
Guys, love your reviews. Your honesty is refreshing 😊 Can I please ask if you add one thing to your reviews? Please let us know if the sunroof/panorama roof have a solid block out blind or one that lets some sun in? Thank you 😊😊😊
Hi Boys, awesome review we are seriously considering the ZRV vtilx or Vtilx Honda's company car dis you drive both models, if so which seats did you fine comfy there is only 2 of us and a dog but now have to drive elderly parents around and our current HRV EHEV is not too king in space for that very interested in the Tiggo 7 and also the Xtail your thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Great review, i have them in my country but they are way more pricey, could yo make a JAC review? if you guys have that car brand over there off course.
yes it is true same goes for MG in Australia, only one distribution center in Sydney for the whole Australia for Tiggo. Next year they are planning to open another on in Victoria.
Great review guys! Though if you had to pick one Chinese (non-EV) vehicle of which you have tested this year, what would take your hard earned cash? This Tiggo 7, the GWM Jolion (S guise or hybrid), or the H6? Please don't mention the MG!
Hey buddy, I suggest you continue to review Indian cars in the future. It will bring you countless viewers from India. As long as you review those products, there will be countless overconfident Indian nationalists flocking to the here and leaving a lot of praise for their products. I have noticed this pattern after watching many of your videos. 🤣
@@hynoor7254 It's not India's fault the CCP blocks RUclips in China for the people -- but themselves use it only for their propaganda and their wumao bots
LED lights look cool and can do fun things. But they also go out very quickly. I see cars including Mercedes EQS models in my area (amman jordan) with lights out. How old can those be? How much use can those lights have? People here don't ever use turn signals. We have LED lights in the ceiling and those go out quite often, and they don't deal with weather, or vibration etc. More tech the more to go wrong. And we are talking lights.
When I lived in Beijing, during heavy rainfalls, people were stuck in their cars (traffic got clogged up) and drowned when the electrics for doors and windows failed. I totally understand why they have included the tool in the centre console. (it also help them get a five-star safety rating)
I feel like a big reason why you guys don't have WAY MORE subs as you should is cuz you are in Australia, and the right hand driving makes it less relatable to most people.
@@dandandan3515 RAV4 list price is cheaper but as there are non available dealers charge whatever they feel like if there is one on the lot and registered
@@dandandan3515according to the Toyota Australia website the RAV4 is priced at $43k odd. I’d take the base model RAV4 over a Chinese car but that is just me.
Thoughts on the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro? (Apart from the weird name)

I predict these will be much like Korean vehicles and soon people will not care that it’s made in China!
@@CarSaucegoing by how many Haval, MG’s etc I see on the road I think people already could care less, apart from a few vocal types on Facebook etc
Chery and Haval are really reliable, for sure.
Well said
Volvo, BMW and Teslas are made in China but nobody seems to care (or know) about that.

In South Africa we have the Tiggo 7 Pro (1.5 L turbo) and the 7 Pro Max (1.6 L turbo with and without AWD)
We've got the awd
We need the HEV like the Haval H6 HEV.
We have iPhone 16 pro max

How to disable the song?
Also can the noise when going over speed limit be disabled?
Chery does very good NVH. Luxury car level refinement in the Tiggo 8 Pro which is arriving here later this year.
Can’t wait to drive it!
@@CarSauce According to overseas reviews, even the ICE 2.5L turbo is very peppy. The PHEV may tear up the saucy corner.
Your window break tool is part of the latest ANCAP regs to get 5 stars. You must be able to escape when you are underwater. Beauracracy gone wild.
@ndukasmiththey don’t need ANCAP ratings to add any value to their brands. People would still buy their products even without the ratings.

Thanks guys for your review and the humour attached. I’m buying the 2024 Chery Tiggo 7 Pro in the base model.

Mine was off when I bought it
in Malaysia we got 1.6L Turbo engine paired with 7DCT, output 145kW and 290Nm of Torque, very powerful acceleration.
Great review. How do you rate it against Haval H6? Cheers
You guys probably have the best sense of humour in the car space on RUclips

Caution may include so-called roof-rails for display only do not use...
My favourite channel. You dont diss these imports like lots of reviews. you're not pushing toyota or mazda. I really appreciate it.

This car is absolutely perfect!
I work next to Cherry in western suburb of Melbourne and we see at least one car every day that tow in 😅
Okay sure ... Puneet
Puneet is a cleaner at the Haval dealership.
You haven't worked since 1945🤭?. You were seeing horse & carts coming in😂!.
Is it true that is takes months to get the car parts ?
yes it is true same goes for MG in Australia, only one distribution center in Sydney for the whole Australia for Tiggo. Next year they are planning to open another on in Victoria.
This or H6 Hybrid?
I got lost in Jacob's biceps...LOL neh yeh you boys are great!
In South Africa it's the Tiggo 7 Pro Max
Why don't you take it on a small muddy, gravel road to see how it would cope? It is AWD. From South Africa.
no cover for the sunroof? whats the aircon like on full sun ? also needs 95 RON ,20c dearer per L in country Qld.
There is a cover for the sunroof. Air-con is quick to cool and very comfortable in full sun.
@@VanDammage87 ok thanks VD

Can’t lie the Jolion Hybrid is a better overall system, but comfort in the Tiggo is overall better - touch choice!
Tank 300 :p
Tank 300 is probably the first genuinely impressive petrol Chinese car.
I believe you can turn the Chery start-up song off but as usual with these Chinese cars...It's buried in the car settings
I could not figure it out 🤣
All good but why for about the same small money would you push the dice one more time...
the warranty is pretty good
😂Save my money, I like it.🎉🎉🎉

South African vehicle safety laws are less stringent resulting in the higher end models receiving ADAS as standard and the lower models without them
Maybe you two blokes are fairly close but the "Fist me good" is a little off putting.
I see on alibaba some funny low price of around 7000$ for this vehicle,they probably don't count taxes and other things into price
I am Chinese. I checked the price on our car sales app and it showed RMB 79,900-149,900.
@@yudogcome5901 its with your taxes , probably this is clear price without shipping,taxes,provisions...
In South Africa the high spec Version is the Tiggo 7 Pro MAX😂
It does have the Auto hold feature. Does not roll back
I see often videos of Chinese vehicles catching fire...
Does that happen often in Australia too?
You know we can see your comment history right?
Spamming every Chinese car review’s comment section is not going to help Mahindra much😂
Sweet spamming

All cars by law need to have mechanical door handles.
Am I the only one who thinks that this looks like a knockoff of the DS 7 SUV?
Yes u r
Wtf, they've come a long way since their asbestos brake pad days
I thought it was a smartphone name .
Please try New TATA Harrier car from India
The face looks like an audi q7 (top) and bmw ix (bottom) wih rear end of cupra-ish.

10k over priced
Review the vehicle and stop the bullshit.
Another garbage that wont last 8 yrs on the road!
why
8 years is long enough to have enjoyed the car since new..

Not funny 🙄
Don’t trust the Chinese 😂
It’s a copy of xuv700
it’s not a deathtrap tho so not a full copy

I wouldnt pay more than $30k for it.
