Sales in these countries are set to begin in the fall, with a focus on plug-in hybrid models and SUVs, such as the Chery Tiggo 7 and Chery Tiggo 8, which will be available with both hybrid and traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) options.

The Tiggo series, with its blend of advanced technology, comfort, and stylish design, is expected to appeal to eco-conscious and cost-conscious drivers alike.

Chery's strategic focus on electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid options aligns with the growing shift in the region towards greener transportation solutions. The company's growing presence in Europe highlights its commitment to offering innovative mobility solutions as global automakers increasingly prioritize sustainable and energy-efficient technologies.
