Chery Malaysia hands over Tiggo 7 Pro to Olympic medallists

As announced back in June, Chery Malaysia has presented its rewards to the Malaysian Olympic athletes who brought home medals from the recently concluded Paris Olympics.

The national men’s doubles pair, Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, who clinched bronze medals in the tournament, each received a Chery Tiggo 7 Pro.

Meanwhile, the men’s singles badminton bronze medalist, Lee Zii Jia, also earned himself a Tiggo 7 Pro but was unable to attend the event as he is currently competing in a tournament overseas.

“Their grit, determination, and perseverance throughout the Games are truly inspiring, and we are proud to celebrate their success with a vehicle that mirrors these qualities,” said Michael Chew, Vice President of Chery Malaysia.

The prize presentation ceremony, held at a Chery showroom in Bandar Bukit Puchong, was also graced by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Hannah Yeoh.

“We believe that sports is a unifying tool for Malaysia. We encourage the private sector to play their role in rewarding athletes when they succeed in bringing back medals. What makes Chery’s gesture special is that they are celebrating all medal winners,” said Yeoh.

Launched last June at a price of RM123,800, the Tiggo 7 Pro is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 197 PS and 290 Nm of torque.

With a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) driving the front wheels, the SUV is capable of achieving fuel efficiency as low as 7.0 litres/100 km.

Additionally, the Tiggo 7 Pro is equipped with plenty of exciting features such as Advanced Driver Assistance System 2.5 (ADAS 2.5), wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, panoramic sunroof, and a premium Sony audio system.

Chery Malaysia said that it aims to continue uplifting local sports talent and contributing to the nation’s success on the global stage, in line with its expansion across the country.
