Chery unveils global plans at Auto Shanghai 2025
MAJOR plans by Chery were unveiled at the recent Auto Shanghai 2025 (AS2025) motorshow in China, with Malaysia being a key partner in its expansion. The Chinese automaker has set its sights on the ambitious task of selling one million vehicles within two years as it aims to join the ranks of the world's top 10 automotive brands. This was a larger part of its "Navigating the Future" initiative, which was accompanied by the brand's expanded roadmap for the years ahead, the announcement of new brands, its latest products, and strategic initiatives. New models, powertrain Hybrid technology in particular will form a cornerstone of its global growth strategy. The Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) system, along with its Guardian Battery Safety Protection System, features an all-domain architecture powered by a fifth-generation dedicated hybrid engine which has achieved a possible combined range of 1,400 km and fuel efficiency of just 4.2L/100km in charge depleting mode. It also plays a larger part in diversifying Chery's powertrain portfolio between gasoline, hybrid, electric and beyond. The technology was seen applied to update Chery's existing models as with its new ones on display at the Shanghai autoshow which includes the Tiggo 4 (known as the new Tiggo Cross in Malaysia), Tiggo 7, Tiggo 8, Tiggo 9 and Arrizo 8. Both Tiggo Cross and the CSH system made their local debut at the ongoing Malaysia Autoshow 2025 (MAS2025) in Serdang, Selangor. Malaysians will also possibly see new models of the Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 come available in a hybrid powertrain setup, particularly as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The addition of the Tiggo Cross CSH will also expand the Tiggo line-up to three models while the new powertrain update will mean all of Chery's Tiggo models are available as hybrids. Chery's next evolution also includes a stronger push into electrification, multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) and pickup trucks. The latter was a highlight at the Auto Shanghai 2025 with the global debut of the all-new HIMLA pickup series with no official word if it would enter Malaysia. Lepas, iCaur Chery's two new brands also made their mark at both the AS2025 and 2025 International Business Summit with the latter held in Wuhu, Anhui. New automotive brand Lepas made its global debut during this period, alongside the preview of its first model which is the sports utility vehicle (SUV) L8. Lepas' name which comes as a fusion between the words 'Leap' and 'Passion' is built on four key pillars - leopard aesthetic design, luxurious space, intelligent safety and Chery Super Hybrid technology. Lepas plays a central role in Chery's next phase of global development and is positioned to embody the brand's vision of "elegant mobility" through a fusion of cutting-edge intelligent technology and refined aesthetic design. Chery International president Zhang Guibing announced the L8 is slated for an official global launch in December 2025 and is part of the five models that will be introduced over the next three years. This will be followed by the L6 and the L4, with Lepas targeting the establishment of 1,200 global sales outlets as it aims to reach an annual production and sales of 500,000 units. The other brand to take the sportlight was iCaur which is known as iCar in China. A result through the collaboration between Chery and Smartmi Tech, the brand introduced its new V23 model which is the brand's first global model that is built upon a new vehicle platform that houses either a 59.93-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a range of 401 km (CLTC standard) or a 81.76-kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) unit that delivers 550 km. The brand's expanding global lineup includes both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs) that come in a variety of styles that are mostly off-road-capable. iCaur plans to expand rapidly by reaching over 100 countries in the next three years and setting up more than 2,000 service and sales centres worldwide. ICaur as with the V23 officially entered Malaysia at MAS2025 with no official announcement when Lepas would enter our market. Headway in AI technology AI technology will also play a major role in Chery's growth as the company has been continually showcasing the capabilities of its Aimoga robots and robotic dogs by demonstrating its real-world applications from the likes of vehicle support services, visual tracking, and flash mob dance routines. Chery's AI-powered Aimoga humanoid robot was created through the technical partnership of Chery Aimoga Robotics' research and development team with DeepSeek. Utilising Nvidia H800 chips, the Aimoga robots have integrated DeepSeek's V2, V3, and R1 open-source models into their robot cloud platform to power the interaction systems for Chery store marketing robots. Initially designed for real-world applications such as assisting in car sales assistance and vehicle support services, the Aimoga is also capable of visual tracking and flash mob dance routines. An investment of 100 million renminbi (about RM60 million) was poured into the mass production for Aimoga robots. The first 220 of Aimogas have officially been delivered to customers in a handover event held in Wuhu, China during this same period. Moving forward, Chery aims to integrate the development of the Internet and automotive intelligence to create an intelligent mobility ecosystem centered on human-robot-vehicle collaboration. This vision aligns with its long-term goal of evolving it into a home-based intelligent terminal.

2026 Chery Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8: PHEV power coming for updated SUVs
Chery already offers petrol and electric vehicles in Australia, and now it's introducing a pair of SUVs that offer both simultaneously. The mid-size Tiggo 7 and large Tiggo 8 will receive the Chery Super Hybrid system in July 2025 as part of a refresh for the two SUVs, giving the Chery brand its first plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) in Australia. The Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) system features a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine mated with a stepless dedicated hybrid transmission and an 18.3kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Claimed electric range is over 90km on an unspecified test cycle, with total driving range said to exceed 1200km. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Unlike many PHEVs, Chery vehicles fitted with the CSH system also support DC fast-charging, with a battery recharge from 30 to 80 per cent taking a claimed 19 minutes. Chery claims its petrol engine has industry-leading 44.5 per cent thermal efficiency and its transmission has 98.5 per cent efficiency. The company has shared exterior images of the updated Tiggo 8, which differs from the model currently sold here with a revised grille insert, front bumper and headlights. The seven-seat Tiggo 8 is marketed by Chery as a large SUV here despite being almost identical in size to the mid-size Mitsubishi Outlander – and despite an even larger Tiggo 9 being due to arrive this year. Notably, Chery refers to its mid-size SUVs as the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 in its press release, and not Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro Max. After launching as the Tiggo 4 Pro, Chery's entry-level SUV was renamed Tiggo 4 for model year 2026. While the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 will be the first models from the Chery brand to offer PHEV power in Australia, they won't be the first from Chery as an automaker. Its Jaecoo brand is launching its J7 this month, which features the CSH system but in this model it's marketed as the Super Hybrid System. This mates a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine with a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission and 18.3kWh LFP battery, as the upcoming Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 PHEVs do. The engine produces 105kW of power and 215Nm of torque and the electric motor produces 150kW and 310Nm, giving the J7 SHS (pictured above) total system outputs of 255kW and 525Nm. Electric-only range is a claimed 90km on the WLTP cycle or 106km under the more lenient NEDC cycle, with claimed fuel economy of 1.0L/100km. With its new PHEV SUVs, Chery will have an answer for a growing range of electrified models – including, in the case of the Leapmotor C10, one with an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. The BYD Sealion 6 mid-size SUV is Australia's best-selling PHEV with 2358 units delivered this year to the end of April, more than the petrol-powered Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro Max combined.
