Chery TIGGO 7 PHEV and TIGGO 8 PHEV launched together in Malaysia- Fully specced out Plug in Hybrid Vehicle that will be priced from RM129,800 and RM159,800 onwards respectively

Chery Malaysia had on the 3rd of October 2025 launched its Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): the TIGGO 7 PHEV and TIGGO 8 PHEV SUVs The Tiggo 7 PHEV will be priced at RM129,800 on the road before insurance while the TIGGO 8 PHEV is priced at RM159.800  before insurance and both are  fully decked out in terms of its specification and equipment levels, with some slight differences.

While the TIGGO 8 is essentially a 7 seater TIGGO 7 (which is a 5 seater), there are enough equipment differences between the models. The price difference is because of the differences in equipment, slightly upgraded features as well as the extra length in the TIGGO 8. So there was a balance of equipment and specifications in both models that Chery Malaysia needed to do to sell at the price point they chose for the models.
