A short-term clearance campaign has pushed the Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid into new pricing territory, making it the most affordable plug-in hybrid vehicle on sale in Australia at the time of publication.
Chery is offering $5000 drive-away discounts on 2025-built Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid models, undercutting key rivals in the increasingly competitive entry-level PHEV SUV landscape.
Clearance pricing for the Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid
Under the limited-period offer, the Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid Urban now starts at $34,990 drive-away, down from $39,990. The discount also extends to the flagship Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid Ultimate, which drops to $38,990 drive-away from its usual $43,990 price tag.
At this level, the Chery Tiggo 7 now undercuts the BYD Sealion 5 PHEV for on-road pricing. While the BYD Sealion 5 continues to carry a lower headline price of $33,990 before on-road costs, real-world pricing typically ranges from $35,210 to $37,020, depending on the state or territory.
| Model | BYD Sealion 5 | Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid | Geely Starray EM-i |
| Starting price | $33,990 (before driveaway) | $34,990 (driveaway) | $37,490 (before driveaway) |
By cutting the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid Urban to $34,990 drive-away, Chery has closed the gap to BYD’s headline pricing and, in most states, now emerges as the cheaper option once on-road costs are applied.
Availing the Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid discount
The discounted pricing applies to new customer orders placed between January 1 and February 28, 2026, and is available only while existing 2025 stock lasts.
Fleet, government, and rental buyers are excluded from the promotion. Notably, the offer applies exclusively to the plug-in hybrid Chery Tiggo 7 range, with no incentives currently available on petrol-only variants.
Chery Tiggo 7 pricing – Petrol vs PHEV
Ordinarily, opting for the Super Hybrid drivetrain adds approximately $10,000 to the price of a standard Chery Tiggo 7. During the clearance window, the premium is effectively halved, narrowing the gap between hybrid and non-hybrid models to $5,000.
For buyers considering electrification without moving to a full EV, the revised pricing significantly lowers the entry cost.
Powertrain and efficiency
| Specifications | Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid |
| Engine | 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol |
| Electric Motor | Single motor, front-wheel drive |
| Battery | 18.4 kWh |
| Claimed EV Range | 93 km |
| Combined Fuel Consumption | 1.4 L/100 km |
Compared to the entry-level BYD Sealion 5, the Chery Tiggo 7 offers 22 km more EV range, though fuel consumption is slightly higher by 0.2 L/100 km.
Smaller than key rivals
Measuring 4535mm in length, the Chery Tiggo 7 is 203mm shorter than the BYD Sealion 5. Its dimensions place it at the more compact end of the medium SUV segment, closely aligning it with models such as the Honda ZR-V. That smaller footprint can appeal to urban buyers seeking plug-in hybrid efficiency without the bulk of a larger SUV to maneuver around town.
Key takeaways for buyers
The clearance deal has made the Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid the cheapest plug-in hybrid SUV on the road in Australia. Beyond its price, it offers a solid 93 km of electric-only range, enough for most daily trips, and a compact size that makes it easy to live with in the city. With the deal running only while stocks last, it’s a smart option for anyone looking for an affordable, practical entry into hybrid driving.
It’s the same value-packed mobility solution for an even better price, making it a win-win for the buyers. Of course, there are other factors to keep in mind when buying a new car from a relatively new (to Australia) car brand, but Chery is poised to chip away at market leaders with the likes of the Tiggo 7 and the already successful Tiggo 4 SUVs.
