Chery reveals Tiggo X7 off-road SUV, Australian launch under consideration

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 02:15 · Archive

Chinese car maker Chery has revealed the Tiggo X7, an off-road-focused SUV with boxy styling.

Chery has revealed the Tiggo X7, the first of a range of new 'X'-badged models featuring boxy, rugged styling and promising enhanced off-road capability. The X designation denotes an off-road focus, though the X7 uses unibody construction rather than the body-on-frame design of similarly sized competitors such as the GWM Tank 300. The automaker's Omoda brand also revealed the Omoda X concept car, another rugged SUV, in China this month.

The Tiggo X7 is not yet confirmed for Australia, but Chery Australia said a number of international models are currently under consideration. Right-hand drive production has been confirmed after Chery South Africa announced plans to launch the Tiggo X7 there in the third quarter of 2027. The vehicle is expected to use a heavily upgraded version of the Chery T1X platform that underpins the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 already sold in Australia, positioning the X7 between these two models in size.

The Tiggo X7 measures 4636mm long, 1970mm wide and 1788mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. This wheelbase is six millimetres longer than the Tiggo 8's and 47mm more than the Tiggo 7's.
