Space
The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro provides a spacious cabin that should comfortably accommodate five occupants, including the driver.

The two outer rear seats also offer ISOfix mounting points for child restraint seats.
As for the luggage space, in addition to all the small spaces scattered around the cabin, owners gain access to a 475-litre boot. This can be expanded to 1 500 litres should you fold down the backrests of the second row of seats.

This combination offers 108 kW and 210 Nm of torque to the front wheels and has a claimed fuel consumption figure of 6.8 L / 100 km.
