Chery expands global EV and hybrid SUV footprint
Overview
Chery continues to expand its global electrified vehicle portfolio through targeted regional launches and real-world performance demonstrations. In July 2026, the company strengthened its presence in Turkey with the TIGGO7 Comfort and in Hungary with the Tiggo 7 HEV. In Southeast Asia, Chery began production of the iCar V23 in Malaysia and introduced the Chery Q in Indonesia. The Indonesian market also saw the Tiggo 9 CSH plug-in hybrid, featuring a 6.6 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system.
By late August 2026, the Chery Q compact electric hatchback was introduced in both Nigeria and Indonesia. In South Africa, Chery has taken over a former Nissan factory in Rosslyn, Pretoria, to support its growing presence, with the Chery Q compact electric crossover slated for a September 2026 arrival. In the United Kingdom, the Tiggo 9 seven-seat plug-in hybrid has been introduced, while the Tiggo 4 has been recognized for its high value-to-price ratio.
Safety and technological advancements have also marked recent developments. The Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 models achieved a maximum 5-star rating from Euro NCAP. Additionally, Chery Master Pakistan announced that the Chery Q all-electric hatchback will debut at the Pakistan Auto Show on September 18, 2026.
In September 2026, Chery reported significant growth in Colombia’s Tolima region, where it reached a 3.96% market share in light vehicle sales as of July 2026. To support this, Chery and Autolima invested over 700 million pesos to modernize facilities in Ibagué. Furthermore, Chery was named the most reliable Chinese automotive brand for the second consecutive year in the J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study, outperforming both the Chinese market average and the average of premium manufacturers. Consequently, the company plans to expand directly into Germany in early 2027, launching four Tiggo family SUVs as hybrids or plug-in hybrids.
