Chery Tiggo 7
Chery’s Tiggo 7 doesn’t just fill a gap in the mid-size SUV segment — it’s gunning for the heart of the action, right where South Africans are actually buying. This R280k to R680k bracket is brutal, with Haval’s H6, MG’s HS, and the ever-popular Volkswagen Tiguan all fighting for your monthly instalment. On paper at least, Chery’s thrown in the kitchen sink: two turbo petrols (1.5T and 1.6T, both with dual-clutch boxes) and, crucially, a 1.5T plug-in hybrid with their own DHT system. That last bit is almost unheard of at this price, so you’d expect more noise about it. Instead, the market’s settled into a rhythm: 61 active listings, split between 27 new and 34 used, and a median price of R479,900. That’s a clear signal: buyers are sticking with the mainstream engines, not stretching for the high-tech PHEV unless there’s real value baked in. SA buyers can’t ignore the PHEV’s sticker, though. The 1.5T CSH Ultra DHT runs from R545,900 to R679,950, and the CSH Plus DHT sneaks in between R525,000 and R579,900 — both undercutting what you’d pay for a Tiguan eHybrid if it ever landed here. The 1.6T Prestige DCT, sitting at R428,800 to R499,900, offers the bigger motor without the faff of charging cables or Eskom anxiety. Used stock? Practically new, with an average of just 6,117 km across the 2022–2026 range, which is rare. If you pack smart, the PHEV makes a compelling case purely on pump savings, and that’s the point: for South Africans tired of paying through the nose for petrol, this is one of the few real options under R600k that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
Chery
Chery’s become a familiar sight on South African roads, especially for folks who want SUV size but aren’t keen to cough up Tiguan or Haval money. The numbers speak: 335 active listings, prices stretching from R89,995 up to a punchy R939,900, with most hovering just shy of R390k. That’s a proper spread, catering for first-time buyers and those looking to trade up without maxing out the credit card. Over 200 of those are pre-owned, too—crucial, because a thriving used market means buyers are actually trusting the brand. If you’re cross-shopping, Hyundai Creta and Toyota Corolla Cross are the obvious benchmarks, but Chery’s still finding ways to undercut them on price, and that’s the point. The Tiggo 4 does the hard work here, with 100 listings from R199,900 to R469,900; it’s the obvious Creta alternative, and probably the car you’ll see outside your local Checkers. The Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 7 Pro climb the ladder a bit—think R279,900 to R539,320—while the Tiggo 8 Pro starts poking at the kind of money that’d get you looking at a Tiguan. Fancy something really ambitious? The Tiggo 9 stretches all the way to R939,900, which is a bold move for the brand. SUVs make up the overwhelming majority (225 out of 335), petrol remains the go-to, but hybrids and plug-in hybrids are starting to creep in. On paper at least, that gives Chery a trick the Creta and Haval can’t match at these sticker prices.
