Chery

Chinese auto brand Chery returned to Australia in early 2023 after an eight-year hiatus, following its original launch here via an independent distributor in 2011 and its subsequent departure in 2015 due to slow sales of its cut-price small hatchback and SUV models.

Now Chery is back and its debut model is the Chery Omoda 5 small SUV, which is available in standard, sportier GT and battery-electric E5 forms.

For now, it's joined on sale in Australia by the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro mid-size SUV and the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max seven-seat large SUV.
