The Chinese wave just crashed into Holland — and this is only the warm-up

After Omoda and Jaecoo, the mothership lands in Holland — and it brought reinforcements. Three SUVs, prices already on the table.

The Chinese wave has reached the Netherlands in full force. After Omoda and Jaecoo, the concern is now entering the local market under its own name, Chery — and not with one model, but three crossovers at once. The Tiggo 4, Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 are already open for orders, and the first cars will reach buyers in September.

The youngest is the Tiggo 4. A B-SUV measuring 4.32 m, with a 430-litre boot and a price tag from €29,000 to €32,000. Under the hood sits Chery’s Super Hybrid system with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, putting out 163 hp. Claimed fuel consumption — 5.3 l per 100 km. Modest? By today’s standards, almost ascetic.

Then it gets bigger. The Tiggo 7 adds 23 centimetres in length (4.55 m) and 54 litres in the boot (484 l). But the real headline is that this one is already a plug-in hybrid: nearly 280 hp combined, an LFP battery of 18.4 kWh and up to 90 km on electric power alone. Price — €34,000–38,000.

And the Tiggo 8 goes all-in. The same PHEV setup with 279 hp, but now stretched to 4.72 m, with the boot ballooning to an astonishing 889 litres. Price — €41,000–43,000. Remember the sequence: Omoda, Jaecoo, now Chery. This isn’t the finish line. It’s the run-up.
