Lekker! I have the HAVAL H6 Super Lux - absolutely love my car! Your review was actually the final decision for me - best decision ever! In regards to fuel consumption, i cant speak for the Chery Tiggo. But i can definitely vouch for the fact that these cars (GWN Haval, tentatively assuming Chery too...) take a few 1000kms to drive in - after which you will see the fuel efficiency change. On the H6 whatsapp group guys are getting anything from 8L/100km to 7L/100km for longer drives. One chap the other day recorded 6.9L/100km As always, top-class review you legend!
I'm honestly amazed at the interior material and build quality of the new Cherys. Look at how the sides of the inside of the boot at 10:20 is covered in carpet. You don't get that in any other SUVs at much higher prices. The Sportage, Tuscon, Rav4 etc is all hard scratchy plastic that gets scratched and damaged by luggage. Really really amazing. Well damn done Chery. And I test drove a Tiggo 8 Pro and it has better interior material and build quality than a GLA and GLB and those costs hundreds of thousands more and doesn't even have all the features of the Chery.
Apart from the fuel consumption this car is great, the interior is top notch. I would advice anyone with a fully paid Vivo,Fiesta or Corolla to consider this as their second car. The German's are offering such for nothing less than 700k, in today's economy most people cannot afford that.
This guy has got talent 👈😒 keeping it natural and yet delivering the facts🔥 The Chinese are to stay,I mean the warranty clause say's keep me longer and yet it's well spec'd 🤦 Genius ❤️
@@clementmahumane65 sometimes you need to be strategic on how you use your hard earned income. There're people who said don't buy kia/Hyundai and today these brands have proven themselves. So sometimes not taking risk, will take a lot from your pocket.
I just buy an AWD version of Tiggo 8 Pro Max with 2.0T engine and it costs me 155k RMB. Acceleration performance is remarkable and I love it so much. Official 0-100km/h acceleration is 7.5s and 7.1s in real test drive. Fuel consumption in busy city road is around 9.5L gasoline per 100km and around 7.5L per 100km on highway with 120km/h.
Has anyone had a Chery for more than 1 years. How do they hold up??? I am very impressed with the product but I don't want head aches after the fist year.
Great review Ciro, even though it lacked some enthusiasm like when you did with Tiggo4, i know it would sound as if you are batting for Chery, don't worry we want your happiness when you doing these reviews and this Tiggo 7 is a larger Tiggo 4, that to me is 💯, keep up the good work 👏🏽 🙌 👍
I drove the car for just under 6 months and sold it back to Chery. I just seemed to have endless issues. Although the technicians were always willing to assist, which I really commend, as a daily drive I really wasn't enjoying it. 1st issue was the Aircon which during EVERY drive gave off a horrible 'old water smell'. 2nd issue was a rattle in the instrument cluster which was extremely annoying. 3rd issue was a ticking noise after its 5000km service which technicians could not replicate, but occurred frequently until the vehicle was sold back to Chery. 4th issue, and honestly the main one for me, the terrible fuel consumption. Best i got was 8.7l/100km on the downhill from jhb to dbn. Average consumption was 10.3l/100km. I also felt the engine was underpowered for the weight of the vehicle. There are definitely some great aspects to the car; endless safety features, great space and smooth ride on the long road. Again, koodos to Chery for attempting to resolve these issues, but unfortunately it could not be resolved in the 6 visits I made to them...
I've had mine for almost a week and I'm enjoying it so far. I've done 600km already. Its been thirsty so far with doing lots of highway driving 11.2, (Fourways to Benoni) I'm hoping once the engine has been run in a bit it will be more frugal. That's the only complaint, really it is. It great value for money and it's great to drive
How have you the driving experience? The power figures (kw/nm) are are not that high. Does the car struggle with aircon on and a passenger or two in it?
@@ryanalley2446 I've enjoyed the driving experience so far. I've had 4 people in the car with aircon on and it's pulled nicely. It is a heavy vehicle though for a 1.5T engine and you use more petrol around town if not careful with the accelerator and the air conditioning on. If you can live with that, it's a great car and good value for money compared to its competitors.
It would be fantastic if you did the Kw/Bhp conversion in video. And even better if you displayed those numbers on screen. Or maybe the "compare" table you have on your site. Great video as always though. Love the longer reviews.
Great review Ciro, as always. My only concern about all Cherry Tiggos is the fuel consumption. Do you know if remapping the car to better the fuel consumption will void the warranty?
I looked forward to watching this review. Such a nice blend between space, spec and most importantly well priced. Triumphs the haval H6 based on looks ✔️.
I am very impressed with the new range. I do feel however that the vehicles could have benefited from a bigger engine and also a diesel derivative. I have a concern though that will always cause me to think twice before purchasing a Cherry product in that my wife bought a JW Swag a couple of years ago and without much announcement Cherry was withdrawn from the local market leaving Cherry owners high and dry without much after sales service and support, not to mention that you can hardly find spare parts for these vehicles. (You have to import anything you may need and be prepared to wait between 60 and 90 days). If Cherry wants to impress and reassure the general public that they are here to stay and not disappear of the map again in a couple of years, I would suggest that they look at establishing some support for the older generation of vehicles that are still on our roads.
From the rear wheel backwards it looks like a Toyota Fortuner, the front has some Kia Sportage vibes. But all in all, it's beautiful, I'll rate it a 9/10!!!
I have the H6 super lux - personally, i think the GT looks far less classy and refined than the H6. (Especially with all that weird bright yellow detailing.)
Apparently an updated Chery Tiggo 7 with a 1.6l Turbo engine with the 7 speed DCT gearbox plus AWD will be available before the end of the year... It would be interesting to see the pricing of the upgraded model....
Thanks for an awesome review Ciro. I'm seriously considering the Tiggo 8 Pro with me being a mom of 3 now (watched your review - thanks). Test drove it twice, was lovely. I have a couple of concerns/questions: 1. Whats your take on the resale value? Managed to sell my hyundais with no real depreciation. It's hard to tell with Chery being so new 2. The CVT gearbox? I owned a Fiat 500 with a CVT gearbox that died on me. How reliable is this gearbox? 3. The rearview mirror in the Tiggo 8 Pro gave me a headache... you think I can get a normal mirror cut and fitted on top of it? 4. Does fuel consumption really improve after a couple of thousand kms on the clock? Lastly, I can see my kids really getting a kick out of talking to Chery, so I'm hoping she will keep them entertained on those long drives haha 😄
Great entertaining review Ciro. What about after sales support/ back up. Out of warranty costs. Nice long warranties but what about spares availability. I doubt any "first owner" will still own one or have one after 5 years, so not sure to who/m the million km warranty will be of use. Looks nice, drives nice, time will tell how this will pan out.
My biggest concern is fuel consumption due to current prices and if the trade in value will hold up later on but otherwise it ticks all boxes for what I'm looking for.
Thanks! I like it, the only setback, is it guzzle a lot. I feel like we still gonna suffer from petrol not only that it would be expensive but you won't find it at all.
Man....rear door oncoming car/tram/bicycle warning device ought to be a standard in Melbourne. As a tram driver in Melbourne I have taken 3 doors in the last 7 years on the narrow yet very busy Swan Street in Richmond!!
I assume the fly by wire auto gearbox means that there isn't a manual option? That for me is already a dealbreaker but I'm old fashioned. I'd also predict that the resale value will be an interesting number to watch. I'm predicting Alfa/Renault level depreciation but time will tell...
@VW, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia and Mazda, going back to the drawing board is inevitable for you. This is once again a great design, and I like the fact that it's not compromising the buyer's pocket. I'm now starting to give the Chinese my personal attention and their technological innovation in auto manufacturing is ambitiously serious.
Out of all other carmakers, Mazda doesn't need to go back to the drawing board. They're the only manufacturer developing new inline 6 cylinder petrol and diesel engines. They're a true car company. Their cars are very high quality and very well designed. Their quality is far better than what comes from Mercedes even these days. I test drove a Chery Tiggo 8 Pro and it has better quality than the new Mercedes C Class. It's them that should go back to the drawing board.
Mazda's are overrated imo. The tech is outdated and the designs are stale, and developing a new 6 cyl engine means literally nothing. Doesn't relate to quality. But they are, actually, good quality. Its just their new cars are disappointing to say the least and their fanboys seem to be the only ones so enthralled by them. Have you seen the range on their new EV? Seriously underwhelming... They give me the impression of being the kinda car company to skimp on features so people say "these are *real* cars focused on the driver!" Not a fan of that kinda thing. Just my opinion on the matter, please don't get worked up anyone.
Nokia said they are market leader, So was Kodak 😂😂... Either they change or will be going down..... Car industry is changing rapidly - we need new technologies, affordable pricing, better products - Why to spend hard earned money for brands? Two years more.... A lot of so called grt brands need to close shops....
@@Dank-One They do have good tech. It's pretty competitive. I'm not worried about the EV side of things. They're an independent car company doing their own thing unlike every other car company.
My only concern is reliability. Why are there so many Chinese cars in the used market with less than 20k on them? The owner reviews on online forums are also quite worrying😢
My good Sir, can you please do a review on the Tiggo 7 pro max AWD the 2024 model, I would really appreciate your input, i am looking into it. Your guidance will be appreciated
The Chinese keep delivering. The working class needs this. If you want a German SUV you must have tenders somewhere or you're in a political party or you just have a shitload of money. I can tell you for free that the average South African does not have a shitload of money. Cherry and Haval nailed it. Right place at just the right time.
True. I test drove a Tiggo 8 and the interior material and build quality is better than a Mercedes GLA and GLB and those costs hundreds of thousands more. And you don't even get the tech from the Tiggo 8 because it's all optional extras on the Mercedes. I hope the other carmakers learn from this. People are not missing anything by not going for the overpriced German stuff.
@@danielbredenkamp3957 And that's a good thing. Because Mercedes isn't what it used to be. You pay all that money for a car no better than cars half its price. I have a 2015 E350 Bluetec. The newer E Class that came after it is of far lower quality. You can feel it. It looks fancy inside but that's just looks. There's no substance. I test drove the new C Class. It's awful. If you rest your leg against the side of the centre console it creaks. The entire lower half of the doors and dash is hard Kia Picanto like plastic. The inside of the cubby isn't even lined in fabric like every other C Class before it. My dad's 2005 C Class with 330,000 kms feels more solid than the new C Class and it doesn't have all that nasty plastic nor does it creak when you lean against parts inside. The Chery Tiggo 8 has better material and build quality so Mercedes is just a disgrace. The new Mercedes CEO made it clear they need to chase profitability. And you can see the evidence of cost cutting everywhere in their new cars. I for one, as a Mercedes owner now and once a loyal fan, will never buy another one because they all feel like a downgrade. And when a car from China called a Chery that's half the price and has better tech and quality, there's no point in Mercedes justifying their stupid prices anymore. In the past it was justified because they could back it up with quality and solidity. Well no more.
Really.... Would somebody please enlighten me as to what 'part" this is? From the Chery Tiggo warranty T's & C's; Rod-Oil Level Gauge - 120 Months/1 000 000km Is this the ........ dip stick????? 1,000,000 km warranty.... on a length of spring steel wire?!?!?! Ditto on; Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield - 120 Months/1 000 000km Heat shield - galvanized & formed flat steel metal plate .... 1,000,000 km?? 🤔
I have ordered chery tiggo 7 pro executive but delivery delay I end up canceling and got chery tiggo 4 pro Ellite se but I must say 7 pro is so beautiful classy

Ridiculously expensive for standard features in most cases
You say that again I'm done with them
True
100% agree with you. Did you see the Tiggo 8, and it starts at 540k, cherry is back with a bang
very true

How's the Haval after treating you?

And I test drove a Tiggo 8 Pro and it has better interior material and build quality than a GLA and GLB and those costs hundreds of thousands more and doesn't even have all the features of the Chery.
My first impressions on the standard feature set is how much the premium brands are SCREWING us with their prices on "features".
They'll learn the hard way. When I went into a VW & Toyota dealership recently and mentioned the Chery, the salesman from both just dismissed it.
Apart from the fuel consumption this car is great, the interior is top notch. I would advice anyone with a fully paid Vivo,Fiesta or Corolla to consider this as their second car. The German's are offering such for nothing less than 700k, in today's economy most people cannot afford that.
You Mr. David are a star, thank you for that idea.
Production costs and costs of living in Europe and USA are much higher than China....the very reason many top brands relocate to China..
as a second car ? hw much r u earning ,u must not insure, license or get ur vehicles properly maintained😂
I saw you driving out of Town last week in the morning and I knew it was coming 😀
Man, you getting better and better at this car reviewing thing. Nice video!
Been the goat for a while now actually
Not better but amongst the 5 bests in the country 😁😊hey❤️💫

EASILY THE BEST REVIEWER ON YOU TUBE , SO FUNNY AND YET STILL VERY INFORMATIVE , GREAT SRUFF THANK YOU
It looks beautiful and modern 😍 all specs are for a top of the range with better pricing
The only sad thing about this these Chery cars is that they have names of cell phones. Something pro !!! Otherwise good value indeed
😂😂😂

Nothing's bad
Also resale value is shocking. Please don’t waste your time with Chinese crap.

Are they 5star NCAP?
Any updates on whether it has broken down? That's what we really want to know.

These Havals and Chery have been enabling SAns to get access to affordable SUVs. Those consumption numbers are crazy though.
Great review Ciro!!!

Is it wise to be upgrading your car consistently anyway?

How's resale value on a Chery? Is this car better than the new Honda BR-V?
Can't wait to see your review on Omoda 5. Good job👍
Stuff the family, I subscribed looong ago as I really like the channel. I'm sure most car guys do. Enjoy ☺👍
Great to hear :)
Amazing specs and beautiful car @Chery, great review indeed Ciro, keep up the great work.
One day I'll buy me a Chinese car and save plenty of money.
This or a corolla cross?
Does it gives hustle when driving on gravel road . Coz I go to my farm house often
I wonder if a hybrid version will be available some time soon?
Very objective thanks for the review.
I assume the fly by wire auto gearbox means that there isn't a manual option? That for me is already a dealbreaker but I'm old fashioned.

my only question, is this car reliable ??? I am planning to buy it in QATAR

My only concern is reliability. Why are there so many Chinese cars in the used market with less than 20k on them? The owner reviews on online forums are also quite worrying😢
CLM pop up in my dash should I be worried .is the car still drivable
I love how Ciro always mentions he's a "car journalist" but constantly refers to parts as "thing", "thingy" "stuff" 😂😂😂 very relatable
Some of the switch gear and buttons are very VW-esq... but that fuel usage is way to high as a daily for me.
Patiently waiting for the Chery Omada
The indicators going on when stopping is rear collection warning.
Good one, Ciro, waiting for New D-Max review👍
Which year is this model?
Isn't Cherry been there in SA for some years now? It has 2 weeks in Boyswana and we are banking on you to say something about it.
I'm glad they are giving VW, Hyundai, Kia and them a run for their money. Haval and Chery made luxury so affordable. Thank you China.
Reliability is yet to be proven. It will take a while. But good value for money.
You forget to tell about the gear shifter, is special....is to push 1 neutral... and so 2....to change gear....
Any comments or reviews on the power output (108kw/210nm) as it seems a little shy in that department? Is it enough power for such a big vehicle?
I can vouch the title my replacement quote for the 2022 model of the same spec polo as myne came in at 452K

@@danielbredenkamp3957 And that's a good thing. Because Mercedes isn't what it used to be. You pay all that money for a car no better than cars half its price. I have a 2015 E350 Bluetec. The newer E Class that came after it is of far lower quality. You can feel it. It looks fancy inside but that's just looks. There's no substance. I test drove the new C Class. It's awful. If you rest your leg against the side of the centre console it creaks. The entire lower half of the doors and dash is hard Kia Picanto like plastic. The inside of the cubby isn't even lined in fabric like every other C Class before it. My dad's 2005 C Class with 330,000 kms feels more solid than the new C Class and it doesn't have all that nasty plastic nor does it creak when you lean against parts inside. The Chery Tiggo 8 has better material and build quality so Mercedes is just a disgrace. The new Mercedes CEO made it clear they need to chase profitability. And you can see the evidence of cost cutting everywhere in their new cars. I for one, as a Mercedes owner now and once a loyal fan, will never buy another one because they all feel like a downgrade. And when a car from China called a Chery that's half the price and has better tech and quality, there's no point in Mercedes justifying their stupid prices anymore. In the past it was justified because they could back it up with quality and solidity. Well no more.
@@SDav21 thanks but no thanks.
Great Review and Great SUV. The only downside is the fuel consumption. Most petrol turbos are like that.
