The Chery brand has found great success upon its return to the local market, particularly with the Tiggo 4 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro; however, the mid-range Tiggo 7 Pro has not been quite as popular, something which the brand aims to rectify with the introduction of the Tiggo 7 Pro Max. We have pricing for the new model range!
