2024 Chery Tiggo 7 Pro review in Malaysia (feat. Proton X70) - Bromance Warfare

[@FirdausIzam]

Just done my first service for my X70. Very satisfied with it. Things I like: 1. Cabin is so so quite. 2. I love the seats. 3. The aircond is godly. 4. 600-650km/tank. I'm happy with it. 5. The adaptive LED headlamp. I don't think I can get the same for the price. Things I dislike: 1. The suspension. It recovered very well after hitting some bumps. But, still I'd prefer the suspension to be a little bit softer tbh. 2. Android Auto & Apple CarPlay is still unavailable. I hope the update is not too far away because I hate the built-in map. 3. Auto cruise braking is not smooth when another car comes into the lane. 4. The display will switch to media info after each song. If I just listen to radio, then it will stick to what I wanted to see. 5. The sunroof doesn't open wide enough. 6. Oh, the thing I hated the most is the ambient strip. All in all. I'm very happy with the car. Proud to own it. 😊

T7P also comes with auto boot open wit key fob, stand at the back for 5sec or so until the hazard light blink 3 times, then step away, the boot will open.

3:21 the new X70 does have dual exhaust pipe, but the tiggo just have empty holes…

[@shaviorharuki]

The visible exhausts on the Tiggo are props, but if you look below it does have 2 exhaust pipes.

[@pukiong]

Chery omoda 5 can U test the drag with racelogics too

[@weilk7420]

Nothing mentioned on 1.5l 3cylinders vs 1.6l 4cylinders? Also reviewer never mention what modes he using when driving.

[@carlist_my]

Apart from the 0-100kmh acceleration bit, always in Comfort/Normal mode. Consistently found the 1.5L 3-cyl in the X70 to be the smoother, quieter engine.

Test drive both car..n i decide to buy Tiggo 7... everyone have their own preference 😊

what do you think about the FC?

[@achekholbeckal889]

I’ve been on the hunt for an SUV in the $150,000 price range, and I’ve tested out a bunch of them. But the X70 really stood out to me. I am ready to leave those amazing attacking corners driving , now it’s for comfortable driving . life starts at forty, right? 😂

[@bulanz]

Have u tested haval h6? Is it comparable to x70?

[@carlist_my]

Glad to hear you’ve tested a bunch of options! And all the best with your next car purchase. To be honest, we weren’t especially impressed with the X70 when it first launched but the model has come a long way. Agreed, ultimate handling isn’t worth the back pain 😅

[@achekholbeckal889]

@@bulanz I forgot about Haval, somehow it’s slipped under my radar, but it’s not my preferred brand , nothing wrong with the car in fact my ex owned one, the earlier model , cars have sentimental value 😅

[@achekholbeckal889]

@@carlist_my , I believe for the third facelift they’ve ironed out any wrinkles

[@DayatZam]

For $150,000 you could get a Discovery 😂

[@amirfirdaus9419]

This just shows that Proton is selling at a high price considering its a rebadge from Geely, but Chery being the original China cars can sell at cheaper price is impressive. I mean if you can choose a rebadge and China original car at the same price, why go for a rebadge lol

[@carlist_my]

That’s an interesting perspective 🤔

[@hongwahlow1367]

Be more professional Carlist, 1. Please use the suitable tyre pressure to compare, provide the tyre pressure data for user clear picture. 2. Please use tools to check NVH and comapare with same speed and road. 3. Please compare the handling with test, because these 2 cars a lot of different handling feedback from different people.

[@Seafury18]

1. Most reviewers dont provide tyre pressure info unless its an offroad competition. They do this because they want to compare what was given to them without any changes, similar to what you will receive in the dealership. Whats the point of reviewing the Cherry Tiggo Pro 7 if carlist say 'We fitted continental tyres and its now better than a proton x70! so you should buy the Cherry Tiggo Pro 7' 2. This I agree, but it needs to be calibrated. So far only CarExpert from Australia uses tools to measure NVH. 3. While I understand, it would be difficult for Carlist to get proper tracks/time to properly do a handling test. Having different people to do the test doesn't make sense unless you are developing ur car. This is a review and having a back-to-back comparison to tell whats different/good/bad is the main topic, also time constraint

[@akimbowasabi]

The X70 has real dual exhausts 3:23

[@lhctrekker]

x70 nvh better ? by how much?

[@lexwong4685]

I’ve test drove both cars, x70’s NVH is A LOT better. The difference is so obvious! The Tiggo 7 pro looks good on spec sheet but the moment you start driving it, the experience feels cheap. x70 really do offers a better / sophisticated driving experience. Quieter ride, better handling. And better go for a test drive, you’ll notice that the Tiggo 7 pro is actually smaller than x70. You cant fit 3 adults comfortably at the rear but you can do that in x70. And check the maintenance fee, you’ll be surprised. Chery’s 5 year service free is only 1 time per year for 5 years, and actually labour free only. In short, 5 times free labor. Even so, you’ll puke looking at the price of the maintenance. Anyway, I’m an x70 owner for 2 weeks now. I’ve made my decision using my own money, so if you’re keen to shop for either 1 of this 2 models, best to test drive few rounds to experience it.

[@carlist_my]

Maybe by 20% at most. You’ll definitely notice if you test drive both. Chery’s NVH is good, but the Proton is very good (for the price).

[@carlist_my]

@lexwong4685 we didn’t find the Tiggo 7 small, but next to the X70, the Proton does look bigger. This is strange as the Tiggo is the wider car by 31mm. Also doesn’t help its perceived size that the Chery resembles a Perodua Ativa.

[@lexwong4685]

@@carlist_myyeah, am not saying Tiggo 7 is small, just saying the interior feels smaller compared to x70.. Yes it’s weird that on paper, it is actually slightly wider than x70, but somehow my family and I can sit comfortably at the back with 3 ppl but not on the tiggo.. and the boot opening, definitely x70 is wider..

[@syahmiyusop4005]

@@lexwong4685 can you elaborate on x70 maintenance fee?

[@thineshmufc]

Chery has vented seats as well

[@ryanvanweiringen5139]

Only heated. Where as the X70 is cool air.

​@@ryanvanweiringen5139Got cooled seats, ckd model. Don't be misled

@weilk7420 in my last test drive 1 month ago they mentioned Heated only. Which was the same time I bought the x70

Until now still review X70 ? Too many models are ahead…….

[@lhctrekker]

@@anthony8584 but x70 really feel more premium and refined, especially the seat and cock pit compare to others,just outdated.

[@arthurlee9360]

X70 looks like 60 yr old uncle's car, i mean the interior.

[@truthurts704]

take a look at honda wrv and hrv interior..

[@FirdausIzam]

At my age, I like it.

[@fredlenz4743]

Proton really overpriced their cars here in South Africa and nobody gives them a second look. Coupled with a below average warrant and expensive service plan, they shot themselves in the foot.
