Our country is the first European market for the Chinese brand Chery. At first, two models from the Tiggo series will appear here – two SUVs with combustion and hybrid engines. Prices? For a Pole's pocket.
The Chery Automobile concern has been present in Poland since last year thanks to two brands it owns – Omoda and Jaecoo. Their sales are growing, and encouraged by this, the Chinese decided to continue their expansion. This time, they focused on the flagship brand Chery, for which Poland will be the first market in Europe. Two models from the Tiggo series were presented on Monday, and on Tuesday, July 1, they will go on sale.
These are the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 models. Both are SUVs, but they differ in size and equipment.
