From Chery International Press Release
Technological innovation has always been at the heart of Chery, and being China’s top passenger car exporter for 19 consecutive years, the carmaker has a strong global outlook. This is best exemplified in the Pro Family of vehicles, which is geared to meet the discerning needs and wants of global users of today and beyond.
There are five Pro Family members at present, comprising four SUVs – Tiggo 2 Pro, Tiggo 4 Pro, Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro – and one sedan – Arrizo 6 Pro. The Pro Family has found success in many markets worldwide, including Eastern Europe, South America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
Three pillars form the core of every Pro Family product: intelligent technology, stylish design and efficient power. The first pillar is the Pro Family’s most distinctive feature – its models are packed with a rich technology configuration that comfortably surpasses that of its classmates and exceeds consumers’ expectations.
The Pro Family flagship, the Tiggo 8 Pro, boasts three separate screens – a horizontal 12.3-inch instrument panel, an 8-inch climate control screen and a 10.25-inch floating infotainment screen in the centre of the dashboard that features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and 360-degree camera display. Its smaller sibling, the Tiggo 7 Pro, is similarly equipped, while wireless phone charging and an electric tailgate are also available on both models.
The Pro Family also harnesses intelligent technology to provide comprehensive safety. Besides six airbags, traction and stability control, ISOFIX, the use of ultra-high-strength steel in its body construction and other passive safety features, active safety is also available through the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), comprising functions such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Automatic Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSC), Intelligent High-beam Control (IHC), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSD), Front Collision Warning (FCW) and an emergency Brake Override System (BOW).
Stylish design is the next pillar – the Pro Family adheres to the Chery global design team’s ‘Life in Motion 3.0’ design language. A strong exterior visual signature comes courtesy of a galaxy-inspired geometric matrix diamond front grille and LED headlamps. Inside, a cockpit-surround layout communicates dynamism, comfort and elegance in equal measure.
Finally, the Pro Family is characterised by efficient power – Chery is the first Chinese auto brand to independently master the core technologies of engine, transmission and chassis, and after over 20 years of research and development (R&D), the company boasts the strongest engine R&D technology among Chinese brands.
Its ACTECO series engines have evolved to yield displacements from 0.8 litres to 4.0 litres, and six of them have been listed among China’s Top 10 Engines, delivering effortless power amidst high thermal efficiency.
The Pro Family continues to make debuts around the world, most recently at motor shows in Manila, Kuwait and Indonesia, garnering much interest, attention and approval. Numerous awards have also been bestowed upon the Pro Family globally, including ‘Most Technical SUV’ and ‘Best Advanced Technology SUV’ for the Tiggo 8 Pro, plus ‘Best-Selling SUV’ and ‘Most Popular Chinese Car Model’ for the Tiggo 7 Pro.
Recently, the half-millionth unit of the Tiggo 8 series rolled off the line, making it the fastest model to achieve the 500,000-unit mark among Chinese-brand mid-size SUVs and seven-seater SUVs. Since its birth in 2018, the Tiggo 8 series has found success in many global markets including Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Chile.
The Tiggo 8 Pro and Tiggo 7 Pro are among the Pro Family models currently being planned for Malaysia.
