Dark Edition brings safety and gearbox upgrade to Chery Tiggo 7
Chery has expanded its Tiggo 7 range with the new Distinction Dark Edition, which features updates to the styling, gearbox and safety package.
Chery has introduced a new Dark Edition variant of its Tiggo 7 model, enhancing the vehicle's design, gearbox, and safety features. The Dark Edition is priced at R415,900, approximately R26,000 more than the standard Tiggo 7 Distinction model it is based on. The Dark Edition stands out with various stylish modifications, such as a dark grille, window surrounds, and 18-inch alloy wheels. It also includes rear privacy glass and a black interior with synthetic leather upholstery.
Under the hood, the Dark Edition retains the 1.5-litre turbopetrol engine found in the Distinction, generating 108kW and 210Nm of power. However, it upgrades the transmission from a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to a six-speed dual-clutch unit, enhancing responsiveness. In terms of safety, the number of airbags increases from four to seven, incorporating side curtain airbags and a driver's knee airbag.
Additional standard features include a larger 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and central touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and intelligent voice commands, as well as push-button start and dual-zone climate control.
The Dark Edition is available in four exterior color options: Khaki White, Phantom Grey, Carbon Black, and a two-tone Black and White finish. To provide peace of mind, the vehicle comes with a comprehensive five-year/150,000km warranty and a five-year/75,000km service plan.
