2026 Chery Tiggo 7 Owner ReviewOne month of driving our new SUV
Posted by: John A.
Pros
- Easy and comfortable to drive
- Very good fuel and power consumption
- Driving the vehicle gives a great feel of confidence
Cons
- Nothing to date. It will take time however to learn all the non essential aspect
Only short trips, up to 100km so far. The vehicle is easy and comfortable to drive. It seems to live up to the advertising information.
There is plenty of room, as four adult passengers would confirm. The driving position can be easily altered to accommodate any driver.
The vehicle feels safe to drive; all essential controls are on the steering wheel, apart from the gear change. That last aspect was one of the reasons we chose this vehicle. Not at all comfortable with column gear selection on some other vehicles.
Economical to operate, only used a small amount of fuel (fuel gauge shows more than 3/4 full) after 670km. Home recharging is easy and effectively zero cost, as only charged with excess power from our solar system.
The stylish presentation of the SUV, combined choice of colour, attracts many favourable comments.
