Chery Australia has confirmed pricing and key details for the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid (now badged simply ‘CSH’), the Chinese brand’s first plug‑in hybrid mid‑sizer for our market. Two well‑specified trim levels – Urban and Ultimate – arrive in July, opening at $39,990 drive‑away and positioning the newcomer as Australia’s least‑expensive PHEV SUV.
“We’re making cutting‑edge hybrid performance a realistic choice for more Australians,” said Lucas Harris, Chery Australia’s COO.

Design touches for 2025
Externally, the Super Hybrid debuts the next‑generation diamond‑style grille destined for future Tiggo models. Slim LED headlamps, flush side surfacing and a full‑width rear light bar deliver a more premium stance, while flush door handles and 18‑inch wheels aid aerodynamics.
Inside, a twin‑screen cockpit, minimalist switch‑gear and Chery’s intelligent voice control give the cabin a tech‑forward ambience. Ultimate variants add a panoramic roof and Sony audio to lift the ambience further.
Australian arrival
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid lands in dealerships nationwide from July 2025, aiming to lure buyers away from more expensive hybrid and plug‑in rivals such as the Kia Sorento HEV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and GWM Haval H6 Ultra Hybrid – while undercutting them all on price.
