The Tiggo 7 Sport introduces a new 1.5-litre turbocharged engine variant delivering 115 kW and 230 Nm, mated to a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It joins the 1.6T version that produces 145 kW and 290 Nm with a 7-speed DCT. Chery positions the Sport edition as a more dynamic, youth-oriented alternative to the family-friendly Tiggo 7 Plus.

Design-wise, the Tiggo 7 Sport maintains the brand’s split headlight setup, trapezoidal mesh grille, floating roof, and concealed door handles. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and is available in Glacier Silver, Cangyan Grey, Graphite Black, and Pearl White.

The Tiggo 7 Plus, meanwhile, continues with the 1.5T engine and a CVT transmission simulating nine gears. Its exterior retains Chery’s diamond-pattern grille, flush door handles, and a full-width LED tail light design.

Key features include a 24.6-inch dual-screen cockpit, LION 5.0 infotainment system, and a choice of black or brown interior colour schemes. The top-spec trim adds powered and ventilated passenger seating, an electric tailgate, a panoramic sunroof, and side curtain airbags.
