Chery\u2019s latest offering, the Tiggo 7 CSH PHEV, throws down the gauntlet not just to traditional rivals like Toyota and VW, but also to its own sibling brand, Jaecoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Chery Tiggo 7 CSH goes head-to-head with the recently launched Jaecoo J7 SHS \u2014 and on paper, it offers the same level of technology and equipment, but at a more compelling price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-price-advantage-chery-undercuts-jaecoo\">Price Advantage: Chery Undercuts Jaecoo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jaecoo J7 SHS currently retails at R689,900, but Chery has priced its Tiggo 7 CSH Plus variant at R619,900, while the more premium Ultra trim goes for R679,900.

That power is managed by an 18.3kWh battery, which allows for an estimated 93km of electric-only driving, according to Chery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its combined fuel consumption is a frugal 4.9L\/100km, which, paired with the hybrid system, translates into a total driving range of up to 1,200km \u2014 enough to make the trip from Johannesburg to Durban and back without a fuel stop.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1751010452.png\" alt=\"Gauteng News Image\" class=\"wp-image-12028\" style=\"width:484px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1751010452.png 800w, https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1751010452-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1751010452-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Unlike mild hybrids, the Tiggo 7 CSH requires plug-in charging.

Both the Plus and Ultra variants of the Tiggo 7 CSH are generously equipped with a full suite of modern tech and safety systems, including automatic LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, wireless smartphone integration, and more. This level of equipment rivals \u2014 and in some cases, exceeds \u2014 what\u2019s available in far more expensive SUVs, making it an incredibly well-rounded package.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"617\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1751010487.png\" alt=\"Gauteng News Image\" class=\"wp-image-12029\" style=\"width:493px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1751010487.png 617w, https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1751010487-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1751010487-390x220.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Chery South Africa CEO Tony Liu described the Tiggo 7 CSH as a deliberate move to democratize hybrid technology.

Each model also includes a five-year\/60,000km service plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citizen.co.za\/motoring\/chery-tiggo-7-hybrid-launch-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chery Tiggo 7<\/a> CSH PHEV doesn\u2019t just challenge the Jaecoo J7 SHS \u2014 it arguably renders it obsolete.
