Chery Tiggo 7 Sport spotted with Range Rover face, to be launched next month in China
Many people have noted that the recently launched Jaecoo J7 in Malaysia last month bears a resemblance in design to the premium SUV model, Range Rover Evoque.
So, what do you think of the appearance of another Chery-made SUV featured in this article?
The SUV in question is the Chery Tiggo 7 Sport, and according to media reports from Mainland China, this model has already arrived in several showrooms ahead of its official launch scheduled for September.
From the front view, the Chery Tiggo 7 Sport presents a design inspired by the British off-road SUV, particularly in the grille, air intake openings, and the presence of a skid plate.
It is understood that the daytime running light unit also resembles the structure found on the Range Rover Evoque.
In addition, the Chery Tiggo 7 Sport features design elements that are nearly similar to the Jaecoo J7/Chery Tansuo 06 model, such as concealed door handles, roof rails, and storage box accessories between the C and D pillars.
The layout of the cabin has not changed much, where the Tiggo 7 Sport also showcases a large infotainment screen, a floating instrument panel, large gear shift buttons in the middle, and two-tone leather upholstery.
The Chery Tiggo 7 Sport is expected to retain the offering of a 1.6-liter turbo engine producing 197 hp and 290 Nm paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
For your information, Chery established a 50:50 joint venture with Jaguar Land Rover based in Changshu, China since 2012 to enable the production of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles in Mainland China.
