Chery has confirmed an all-new version of the Tiggo 7, along with a boxier X7—no relation to BMW’s flagship SUV—that could end up being a cut-price Toyota Land Cruiser.
We’ll gloss over the Tiggo 7, because it’s all-new in the lightest sense of the word, and really it’s the X7 that has piqued our interest here. It’s the first model in Chery’s new Tiggo X series, and promises plenty of off-road chops.
Chery says that it’s “designed for family comfort” as well as “exploration worldwide,” which is good news for those people who’ll buy one and never take it further than the school gates. Classic story there.

Anyway, specific details are few and far between, but it gets a noticeably squared-off body shape, unique moustachioed grille, roof rails, tinted windows, plastic wheelarch cladding, and chunky tires. The latter of which, at least, should be useful off the beaten track.
We’re not told what’s under the hood, the price, or if it’s even coming to non-Asian markets like the United Kingdom. But given the standard car’s £24,995 (about P2.14 million) starting price, if it does make it to the UK, the £81,000(!) Land Cruiser there could truly have a battle on its hands.
More as we have it.
