It is a masterstroke for Chery Philippines to reward Carlos with the Tiggo 7 Pro, a stylish and dynamic compact crossover that stands out in the Tiggo lineup.

I had a chance to briefly check out the Tiggo 7 Pro, navigating Laguna and Batangas’ busy streets and the long stretches of newly built roads and realized how this SUV is much like our beloved Olympic champion.
When one watches Yulo doing his routine on the floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, horizontal bar his movement and style is characterized by power and explosiveness–with routines that are filled with high-energy flips, twists, and tumbling passes that showcase his athleticism and strength.
There is a lot of precision and control, despite the intensity of his movements, hemaintains remarkable precision and control, ensuring that his landings are clean and consistent. And finally there is massive amounts of grace and elegance, despite the physically demanding routines.
Ditto to the Tiggo 7 Pro. Its agile handling and responsive steering allows easy maneuvering through traffic with the same precision as CY exhibits on the balance beam.
Advanced driver-assistance systems act as his watchful guardians, ensuring his safety and allowing him to focus on the road ahead, just as he focuses on his next move during a high-stakes competition.
Inside the Tiggo 7 Pro’s cabin, the plush leather seats cradle him, easing the tension from his muscles, while the panoramic sunroof floods the interior with natural light, creating an airy and uplifting space. It’s a place where to unwind, reflect, and recharge, much like the quiet moments. Parked in an edge of the Balate Lakeview at night, I opened the long sunroof and bask in the lake mist. (Later that evening, Taal spewed tons of volcanic ash and created a blanket of vog for a week.
The Tiggo 7 Pro is built on a unibody chassis, and its dimensions come in at 4500 mm long, 1824 mm wide, and 1746 mm tall. It rolls on a set of 18-inch alloy wheels which are attached to a MacPherson Strut in the front and a multi-link suspension setup in the rear.
That really isn’t long and pretty much the same dimensions as the competition.
The drivetrain of the Tiggo 7 Pro is transversely mounted, and its 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine delivers power to the front wheels. Its motor produces 145 hp and 210 Nm of torque and is mated to a CVT with up to nine simulated gear ratios. The wheel and tire combo of the Tiggo 7 Pro comes in at 225/60/R18.
Apart from that, the crossover features dual-mode electronic power steering which allows the steering feel to be either light or a bit weightier for more stability at higher speeds.
