Chery Tiggo 7 Pro

Chery’s Tiggo 7 Pro is gunning for the sweet spot in the mid-size SUV market, especially if you’re eyeing more room and kit than a Haval Jolion or Kia Sonet, but don’t fancy shelling out for a Hyundai Tucson. Only petrol here—either a 1.5-litre turbo and CVT (which makes up most of the range), or a punchier 1.6 turbo with a dual-clutch in the Max versions. Listings span R289,900 to R539,320, but the real action sits around R369,900. That’s telling, because it means buyers are snapping up value, not chasing the AWD Max spec. Five new cars in the mix, but 26 used ones means you’re not just looking at demo models—there’s a proper second-hand market building. Most people gravitate to the 1.5T Distinctive CVT, with 12 listed between R319,900 and R442,900. The Executive CVT is the entry point, starting at R289,900, and that’s a decent chunk of spec for the cash. Used Tiggo 7 Pros average 26,239 km and are typically 2022 or newer, so you’re getting a recent, lightly driven car that should still have warranty cover. South Africans are voting with their wallets for tangible value—big screen, leather seats, and safety tech you’d pay a lot more for with a Tucson, and that matters. The Max 1.6T Premium AWD looks impressive on paper at least, but most buyers stick with 2WD and pocket the difference, which is the sensible call in this segment.
