The mid-size SUV market has become one of the most competitive categories in the motoring world, and Chery’s Tiggo 7 Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) Plus Plug-in Hybrid enters the segment with plenty to offer. Now available from Chery Zimbabwe, this stylish, spacious and generously equipped, five-seater offers an appealing blend of performance, efficiency and technology for car enthusiasts looking to embrace electrified motoring without giving up comfort or practicality.
First impressions
The Tiggo 7 CSH Plus cuts a confident figure on the road. Measuring 4 553mm long, 1 862mm wide and 1 686mm high, with a 2 670mm wheelbase, it sits comfortably in the heart of the family SUV category. Its design is modern and polished, striking a balance between visual appeal and everyday usability.
Inside, the cabin is one of the vehicle’s strongest features. It is refined, roomy and thoughtfully laid out, with a level of finish that gives it a more premium feel than many may expect in this class. For families, professionals and lifestyle buyers alike, the Tiggo 7 CSH Plus presents itself as a practical SUV with an upmarket edge.
Hybrid power with real punch
A major highlight of the Tiggo 7 CSH Plus is its plug-in hybrid powertrain. It combines a 1,5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with a dual-motor system and an 18,3 kWh battery pack. Together, this setup delivers a substantial 265kW and 530Nm of torque. The Tiggo 7 CSH Plus also boasts an impressive combined range capability of 1 200+km on a full tank of fuel and a full charge.

Those figures immediately set the Tiggo 7 CSH Plus apart from many rivals in the mid-size SUV space. The result is a vehicle that promises strong response, effortless overtaking ability and the kind of energetic performance often associated with far more expensive machinery. The vehicle comes equipped with a 3Kw home charging cable. An extra 7Kw home charging station is available from Chery Zimbabwe.
Chery claims fuel consumption of 4,9 litres per 100km, highlighting the efficiency benefits of the hybrid system. That means buyers are not only getting strong performance, but also the potential for lower running costs in day-to-day use.
Charging and efficiency
The plug-in hybrid system is designed to offer both flexibility and convenience. For shorter urban trips, the electric component can help reduce fuel usage, while the petrol engine ensures the vehicle remains ready for longer journeys without range anxiety.
Chery says the Tiggo 7 CSH Plus can charge from 30% to 80% in 19 minutes using a DC charger. Home charging is quoted at around three hours, with another charging figure of eight hours depending on the setup used. Regenerative braking also helps recover energy during driving, adding to the overall efficiency of the vehicle.
Smart, modern cabin
Technology plays a central role in the Tiggo 7 CSH Plus experience. The cabin features a 24.6-inch intelligent curved double screen, giving the dashboard a sleek and contemporary look while enhancing both convenience and connectivity.
Other key features include a 540-degree panoramic camera, 50W wireless charging, a smart voice assistant, an eight-speaker Sony audio system, and a 1,1 square metre panoramic sunroof. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto further strengthen the appeal for modern drivers who want a fully connected driving environment.
Safety and peace of mind
Safety is another area where the Tiggo 7 CSH Plus appears well equipped. Chery highlights advanced driver assistance systems, eight airbags, and a body structure made with 60% high-strength steel.
A broad range of safety technologies is included, such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring and ISOFIX child-seat anchors. These features help position the vehicle as a family-friendly option with strong all-round safety credentials.
The ownership package is also impressive. Buyers benefit from a five-year/150 000km vehicle warranty, a 10-year/1 000 000km engine warranty, a 10-year unlimited mileage power battery warranty, and a 10-year/200 000km motor and electronic control unit warranty.
That level of cover adds considerable long-term re-assurance.
Practical enough for daily life
As a family SUV, the Tiggo 7 CSH Plus offers useful practicality alongside its premium touches. Boot space stands at 626 litres, expanding to more than 1 600 litres with the rear seats folded down. That makes it suitable for everything from grocery runs to holiday luggage and weekend escapes.
Verdict
On paper, the Chery Tiggo 7 CSH Plus PHEV brings together the ingredients buyers are increasingly looking for: bold styling, hybrid efficiency, strong performance, advanced technology and meaningful peace of mind. In a crowded compact SUV segment, it shapes up as a serious contender.
