Introducing the Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV – a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) that combines the efficiency of electric driving with the flexibility of petrol power, making it a practical choice for a wide range of journeys. Its 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine works in harmony with dual electric motors and a Dual-Mode Hybrid Transmission (DMHT) to deliver great performance, excellent fuel economy, and reduced emissions. With the ability to drive short distances on electric power only and switch to petrol for longer trips, this compact SUV offers a versatile, eco-friendly solution for both daily commutes and family adventures.
Why It’s a Game-Changer for Long-Distance Drivers
The Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV is a game-changer for long-distance drivers, because its advanced plug-in hybrid system means that you can plug it in to charge when you need to, instead of running the petrol engine to do so. This has many great benefits, such as:
- A cheaper fuel bill: You won’t use any petrol when doing short commutes, and you won’t need to run the engine to charge the car either
- An eco-friendly drive: Driving on electric energy means fewer emissions, which is better for the environment
- Best of both: It can’t be overstated – you can easily switch between power sources as and when you need to, meaning quieter, cleaner electric drives for the daily commute, and the backup of petrol for longer distances (goodbye, range anxiety!)
