The 2025 Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid SUV will start from $39,990 drive-away, making it Australia’s cheapest plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) when it lands in showrooms next month.
The five-seat Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid’s $39,990 national drive-away price undercuts the Jaecoo J7 SHS Summit’s $47,990 drive-away sticker, as well as the the MG HS Super Hybrid’s $52,990 drive-away starting point.
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid will be available in two model grades, with the entry-level $39,990 Urban joined by the top-spec Ultimate at $43,990 drive-away.

It’s the same $4000 walk between the two model grades as with the petrol-only Tiggo 7 Pro SE and SE+, which are $29,990 and $33,990 respectively – meaning a $10,000 premium for the PHEV powertrain.
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid uses a 105kW/215Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and a 150kW/310Nm electric motor to power the front wheels only.
The system offers four driving modes – Pure Electric, Series, Parallel and Energy Recovery – with up to 93km (NEDC) of electric only driving at speeds of up to 120km/h.
The 18.3kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery can take an 80 per cent top-up using a 40kW fast charger in 20 minutes.
Chery says the overall range of the Super Hybrid system is 1200km, and quotes combined fuel consumption of 1.4L/100km – compared to 7.0L/100km in the entry-level petrol-only Tiggo Pro 7 SE.

Standard equipment on both Super Hybrids includes a diamond-cut front grille – which Chery says will filter down to petrol models – 18-inch alloy wheels, LED projector headlights and integrated LED tail lights.
Inside, synthetic leather seat upholstery covers all five seats, including the six-way power adjustable driver’s seat, while there’s a 12.3-inch centre touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver’s instrument cluster.
Intelligent Voice Command – which begins with “Hello Chery” – is standard and operates through the six-speaker stereo, as does the wired Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto connectivity.
Driver assist tech sees adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist alongside the mandatory autonomous emergency braking (AEB) as well as front, front side and centre, driver knee and side curtain airbags.
The Ultimate adds a powered panoramic sunroof, privacy glass, heated and ventilated front seats with driver memory, a 360-degree around view monitor and an eight-speaker Sony premium stereo.
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is covered by Chery’s seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, which includes capped price servicing and roadside assistance.
