The Chery Tiggo 7 is a 4.55-metre, five-seat family SUV offered with a 1.6-litre turbo petrol or a 201 bhp plug-in hybrid, in Aspire or Summit trim. It carries a 7-year/100,000-mile manufacturer warranty and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating.
The Chery Tiggo 7 is a five-seat family SUV, 4.55 metres long, sold in one body style with a choice of petrol or plug-in hybrid power. It's Chery's pitch at the mainstream family SUV buyer, and it makes that pitch with equipment rather than badge appeal.
The Tiggo 7 makes its pitch with equipment rather than badge appeal. Reviewers consistently describe it as a lot of metal and kit for the money.
The choice is simple: one SUV body, two powertrains - a 1.6-litre turbo petrol or a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid - and two trims, Aspire and Summit. Both powertrains are automatic and front-wheel drive.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The Tiggo 7 is a family-first SUV built around space, standard kit and a long warranty rather than driving thrills. Five seats, a boot of 484 to 565 litres depending on version, and a 7-year / 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty set the tone.
Road testers tend to agree on the character: comfortable, easy-going and quiet on a motorway, with light steering that makes parking simple but doesn't reward enthusiasm. Interior quality gets more praise than the exterior styling, which most reviewers call neat but anonymous.
It sits below the Tiggo 8 in Chery's UK range. Euro NCAP awarded it five stars, with 82% for adult occupant protection and 85% for child occupant protection.
Because the standard specification is unusually complete, which matters more on a lease than on a purchase: you're not paying monthly for options you could have skipped. Every Tiggo 7 gets the safety and comfort kit most families would otherwise tick as extras.
Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking and automatic high beam are fitted across the range, along with front and rear parking sensors, LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, a digital instrument cluster and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Practically, it's 1.86 m wide and 1.70 m tall on a 2.67 m wheelbase, with an 11.0 m turning circle and a 75 kg roof load. Servicing falls every 12 months or 10,000 miles. If you're weighing up spec and mileage before ordering, our guide to choosing your car is a useful starting point.
Two choices, and the decision comes down to whether you can charge at home or at work. Both are automatic and front-wheel drive, so neither asks you to change how you drive.
No plug, no charging, no change in routine. The 1.6-litre four-cylinder pairs 275 Nm with a 7-speed automatic for 0-62 mph in 9.4 seconds, 40.4 mpg on the WLTP test and 159 g/km of CO2. Reviewers find it adequate rather than eager, and it suits drivers without off-street parking.
This one does need plugging in to make sense. The 18.4 kWh battery and electric motor do most of the work around town, with 365 Nm, 0-62 mph in 8.5 seconds and a single-speed automatic. On the best version a 30-80% top-up takes 20 minutes at 40 kW, or 1.7 hours at 6.6 kW at home.

Two trims, and the split is straightforward: Aspire covers the essentials properly, Summit adds the comfort and convenience features you notice every day. Neither is a stripped-out entry model.
Aspire runs 18-inch alloy wheels and artificial leather upholstery, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a synthetic leather steering wheel, a rear-view camera with dynamic guidelines, and front and rear parking sensors on top of the standard safety kit.
The Aspire is currently available from £252.71 a month.
Summit moves up to 19-inch alloys and adds an electric slide-and-tilt panoramic front sunroof with fixed rear glass and a sunblind, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, a 540-degree surround-view camera, a hands-free tailgate and wireless phone charging.
The Summit is currently available from £273.78 a month. Against the Aspire, that is currently £21.07/mo more expensive.
If you're shortlisting, the Leapmotor C10 and Nissan Qashqai cover similar ground, the Hyundai Tucson is the established family choice, and the Nissan Juke sits a size below. More from the brand is on our Chery leasing page.
