Overview
The Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid uses a plug-in hybrid system with 80km of electric-only driving range — an unusually long EV capability for a PHEV at this price point. Most PHEVs sold in Australia offer 40-60km of EV range; the Tiggo 7’s 80km means most buyers can complete their entire working-week commute without engaging the petrol engine.
The petrol engine provides unlimited range for weekend trips and touring, making the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid a practical all-rounder that reduces fuel costs significantly versus a conventional petrol SUV while eliminating the planning constraints of a pure EV.
Key Specification
Battery: approximately 18-20kWh. EV range: ~80km. System power: combined petrol-electric. Family SUV body. Price: approximately $52,990.
Verdict
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is a PHEV with the best EV range in its price category. For buyers who want to minimise fuel costs on a daily commute while retaining full petrol flexibility, the 80km capability makes it the most effective PHEV at mainstream SUV prices.
