According to the head of the brand Chery, the Tiggo 8 PRO e+ hybrid crossover will appear in Russian dealerships in May and another hybrid, the Tiggo 7 PRO model, will join the SUV range by the end of 2023.
In addition, the Chery Arrizo 8 sedan, which plays in the D-segment, is preparing for the launch of sales in the summer, which will be presented both with a hybrid power plant and with a powerful gasoline engine.
“Our goal is to revolutionize the automotive industry in Russia, to make an eco-friendly lifestyle in combination with the use of modern technologies a trend. At the Shanghai Motor Show, we introduced the third-generation hybrid platform, and it will become our technological path in this direction in the coming years,” Zhang Guibing, president of Chery International, told reporters.
And the family of sedans will get their hands on the latest Arrizo Star, presented at the Shanghai Motor Show. True, Chery’s boss did not announce the timing of the flagship model’s appearance on the market, saying only that “a car that should make a big impression is now being considered for release in Russia.”
The Chinese are planning to break through in the electric car segment, among other things. According to Zhang Guibing, “The use of electric vehicles during the winter period has brought good results, as well as a significant increase in the number of charging stations and their coverage.” That’s exactly what electrified models will appear in Russia and when, the top manager, unfortunately, did not say.
