Recently, Chery officially launched its all-new compact SUV-the Tiggo 7L, offering a total of four variants. As a new member of the Tiggo 7 family, the Tiggo 7L stands out with its "natural power" design language, L2-level intelligent driving system, and Queen's co-driver seat, redefining the value benchmark in the RMB 100,000 SUV segment.
Exterior Design: "Natural Power" Aesthetics with a Blend of Sportiness and Technology
The Tiggo 7L continues the Tiggo family's "Natural Power" design language, combining elements such as an energy-storm front fascia, fastback-style body, and full-width taillights to create a look that balances strength and futuristic appeal.
Front
A large smoked inverted trapezoidal grille paired with gradient chrome accents forms a spindle-like structure together with the lower grille. The sharp, upward-sweeping LED headlights connect with triangular blacked-out air vents, creating a bold and sporty presence.
Side
The fastback silhouette combined with a black C-pillar creates a floating roof effect. Semi-hidden door handles and 19-inch "storm-style" wheels with red brake calipers further enhance the vehicle's tech-forward and sporty character.
Rear
The full-width "natural pulse" taillights, inspired by flowing energy, use a gradient lighting design to improve night-time visibility. A dual-exhaust layout (decorative) adds to the performance-oriented styling.
Interior & Features: Dual Breakthrough in Luxury and Intelligence
The Tiggo 7L adopts an integrated wraparound cockpit design, creating a warm and premium atmosphere through its amber brown interior theme, 256-color music-synced ambient lighting, and extensive soft-touch materials.
Central Display
A 15.6-inch 2.5K floating touchscreen powered by the Qualcomm 8155 chip, supporting AI voice interaction, four-finger swipe control (to switch to the passenger entertainment screen), and smartphone connectivity via CarPlay, HUAWEI HiCar, and CarLife. The system delivers smooth performance comparable to new energy vehicles.
Queen's Co-Driver Seat
Mid- to high-end variants come standard with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, along with an electric leg rest, offering a first-class travel experience for the front passenger. The front seats also support heating, ventilation, and massage, ensuring maximum comfort.
