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.
