2025 Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is Australia's cheapest PHEV
The five-seat Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid 's $39,990 national drive-away price undercuts the Jaecoo J7 SHS Summit's $47,990 drive-away sticker, as well as the the MG HS Super Hybrid's $52,990 drive-away starting point.
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid will be available in two model grades, with the entry-level $39,990 Urban joined by the top-spec Ultimate at $43,990 drive-away.

It's the same $4000 walk between the two model grades as with the petrol-only Tiggo 7 Pro SE and SE+, which are $29,990 and $33,990 respectively – meaning a $10,000 premium for the PHEV powertrain.
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid uses a 105kW/215Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and a 150kW/310Nm electric motor to power the front wheels only.
The system offers four driving modes – Pure Electric, Series, Parallel and Energy Recovery – with up to 93km (NEDC) of electric only driving at speeds of up to 120km/h.
The 18.3kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery can take an 80 per cent top-up using a 40kW fast charger in 20 minutes.
Chery says the overall range of the Super Hybrid system is 1200km, and quotes combined fuel consumption of 1.4L/100km – compared to 7.0L/100km in the entry-level petrol-only Tiggo Pro 7 SE.

Standard equipment on both Super Hybrids includes a diamond-cut front grille – which Chery says will filter down to petrol models – 18-inch alloy wheels, LED projector headlights and integrated LED tail lights.
Inside, synthetic leather seat upholstery covers all five seats, including the six-way power adjustable driver's seat, while there's a 12.3-inch centre touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver's instrument cluster.
Intelligent Voice Command – which begins with 'Hello Chery' – is standard and operates through the six-speaker stereo, as does the wired Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto connectivity.
Driver assist tech sees adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist alongside the mandatory autonomous emergency braking (AEB) as well as front, front side and centre, driver knee and side curtain airbags.
The Ultimate adds a powered panoramic sunroof, privacy glass, heated and ventilated front seats with driver memory, a 360-degree around view monitor and an eight-speaker Sony premium stereo.
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is covered by Chery's seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, which includes capped price servicing and roadside assistance.

New Raptor revealed with 330kW PHEV powertrain, but it's not a Ford Ranger
The 2026 GWM Haval Raptor Hi4 has gone on sale in China packing 330kW of power and 750Nm of torque – outputs that eclipse those of the 292kW/583Nm Ford Ranger Raptor with which it shares its name. Following the July launch of the petrol version, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powered Raptor Hi4 has been released in its domestic market priced between 153,800 yuan (A$33,229) – for a special introductory variant – and 188,800 yuan (A$40,791) and comprising six model grades, all using the same high-output powertrain. It combines a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors, enabling all-wheel drive, and a 35.43 kWh ternary lithium battery. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. The powertrain is a variation of the PHEV system set for the GWM Tank 500 Hi4-T large SUV, the PHEV version of GWM's answer to the Toyota LandCruiser Prado that's due in Australia this October. It gives the GWM Haval Raptor Hi4 a 151km WLTP range under electric power alone, and a claimed 0-100km/h time of 5.9 seconds – again comparable to a Ranger Raptor, which does not have an official acceleration time. Of course, the five-seat, five-door Raptor Hi4 is not a rival to Ford Australia's super-ute. Instead, at around 4600m long it's around the same length as mid-size SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and Hyundai Tucson. PHEV versions of the next-generation RAV4 and CX-5 have been confirmed, while the Tucson is already available with a PHEV drivetrain overseas, although there are no confirmed plans for an Australian launch – like the Raptor. 'We haven't made any plans for the GWM Haval Raptor to come to Australia, but it has potential,' a local spokesperson for the Chinese automaker told CarExpert earlier this year. 'It would have to be sustainable to be sold here,' they added. GWM Haval Australia's official line on the Raptor, in either petrol or PHEV form, has not changed since then – but it could. The Raptor Hi4 gets unique styling treatment including squared-off headlights, a smaller grille with full-width light strip – which is missing from the petrol version, the two-part tail-lights on which have been merged into one for the PHEV. Black lower body cladding including the wheel-arches are wrapped around black 19-inch alloy wheels and contrast with a new Mint Green paint colour option, while inside there's a new steering wheel design, 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Standard equipment includes a 360-degree camera, rear parking sensors and 50W wireless smartphone charging, as well as a panoramic sunroof. Higher-spec versions add a head-up display, rear differential lock and premium audio, with flagship variants also scoring GWM's Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) autonomous driving system, which operates from 0-150km/h.

2025 Ram 1500 Rebel prices: Off-road-ready pickup arrives to tackle Silverado ZR2
Those yelling for the Ram 1500 Rebel to come to Australia can now celebrate. The off-road-focused version of Australia's most popular full-size American pickup truck is due in local showrooms in September, priced at $141,950 before on-road costs. That sees it wear the same price tag as the Laramie Sport, with which it shares the Standard Output tune of the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged 'Hurricane' inline six producing 313kW of power and 635Nm of torque. This is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new Ram 1500. Click here to get a great deal. Many of the Rebel's optional features in the US are standard here. Over the Laramie Sport, it adds: Bilstein off-road suspension with one-inch lift 32-inch Falken Wildpeak 275/65/18 all-terrain tyres Unique 18-inch wheels Underbody skid plates Unique grille Rebel decals Powder-coated front and rear steel bumpers Red and black interior This equipment is in addition to that also found on the Laramie Sport, which includes: LED headlights Locking rear differential Spray-in tub liner Power tailgate with one-touch close function Panoramic sunroof Power opening rear window 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster 14.4-inch infotainment screen Wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Satellite navigation 10.25-inch front passenger screen Heated front seats Heated outboard rear seats 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system Dual wireless charging pads Adaptive cruise control The Rebel matches the 4500kg braked towing capacity of the rest of the 1500 lineup when using a 70mm tow ball; with a 50mm ball, this drops to 3500kg. Payload is 893kg, up from 863kg in the Laramie Sport. It sits higher than the rest of the lineup too, with 240mm of ground clearance – against 217mm for the rest of the lineup – and an overall height of 2057mm that will see it shut out of some undercover parking lots. Off-road geometry is improved, with the Rebel boasting an approach angle of 20.9 degrees, a departure angle of 22.2 degrees, and a rampover angle of 19.2 degrees. In contrast, the Laramie Sport has angles of 20.2 degrees, 21.7 degrees and 18.7 degrees, respectively. The Rebel still has only a 98-litre fuel tank however, unlike the Limited – currently the only 1500 in Australia with the High Output tune of the Hurricane six – which has a 125L tank. 'We know modern ute buyers love the tough-truck look and prefer lots of black rather than lashings of chrome,' said Ram Trucks Australia general manager Jeff Barber. 'We have identified a niche within the US pickup segment in Australia that leans into the off-road market and weekend getaways. 'For example, we have intentionally included the full-size ute tub on this model – rather than the RamBox – so customers can fit more camping gear, or even put a dirt bike in the back and be able to close the tailgate. 'While we won't share volume expectations today, we do believe the Ram 1500 Rebel has the potential to become one of our biggest selling models, especially as it is deigned to appeal to younger buyers.' The launch of the new 1500 variant coincides with Ram Trucks Australia's 10th anniversary in Australia. Ram Trucks Australia had previously indicated it would launch a Rebel version of the former DS generation of 1500, but it never eventuated. The old Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trail Boss and new ZR2 subsequently filled this void for a more rugged, off-road-oriented American pickup in our market. Ram Trucks Australia launched the facelifted 1500 earlier this year, initially only in Laramie Sport and Limited trim levels. The facelifted 1500 was set to move to six-cylinder power only, but Ram in the US has confirmed the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 is returning. This has yet to be locked in for our market, where Rams are imported in left-hand drive and locally remanufactured in right-hand drive by Walkinshaw Aurtomotive. That leaves pre-facelift DT-series 1500s, in runout mode, as the only way to get a V8-powered Ram in Australia. The facelifted, six-cylinder-only lineup is set to expand with a refreshed Big Horn – already approved for sale in Australia – while the more hardcore RHO variant has previously been confirmed to be under evaluation. Ram Trucks Australia is also keen on bringing the luxury Tungsten and a revived TRX, should such a variant eventuate. The Ram 1500 lineup is considerably larger in the US, even with the Ramcharger extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) and electric 1500 REV not yet available there. The range opens with the naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6-powered Tradesman, available as either a Quad Cab or Crew Cab, and rises up through Warlock, Big Horn (aka Lone Star), Laramie, Rebel, Limited, Limited Longhorn, Tungsten and RHO variants. Many of these offer different tub lengths and various option packages, while the return of the V8 makes the US lineup even more diverse.
