Spending December with Chery’s flagship SUV meant that we were surrounded by luxury and the fuel consumption was not bad either

AutoTrader’s latest pricing and mileage figures highlight a decisive shift in buyer behaviour as Chinese brands convert sceptics into confident second-hand shoppers

But, it still works out more expensive than jumping into an entry Tiggo 7 Pro

Comparing my 2022 Tiggo 7 Pro with the newly released PHEV, it’s safe to say that the Chery is only heading forward

The rise of more affordable electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is sure to affect the market share of new-energy vehicles

The top-of-the-range PHEV offers luxury, power and unlimited kilometres, but does it give you the same feeling as the Omoda C9?

While VW announced a few new vehicles, and Tata reintroduced itself, it was the Chinese brands who stole the show

Chery and Haval are the top sellers while Omoda and Jaecoo passed 1000 new vehicles sold in June

The Omoda C9 offers good looks, exceptional elegance, ferocious power and can easily get you more than 1 000km on one tank of fuel

Chery has combined the best elements of the Tiggo 7 Pro with the compactness of the Tiggo 4 Pro to produce another excellent value-for-money vehicle

The brand has been successful since returning to South Africa and the price of its flagship model is one of the reasons why

Have these brands offered any improvements on their vehicles since Chery and Haval first came to South Africa in 2021?

The Chinese continue to impress with yet another compact SUV, and it’s no wonder South Africans are falling in love with them

With new energy vehicle sales finally starting to surge in South Africa, the Chinese manufacturer has the cheapest one on the market
