Chery Malaysia recently held its Sales Advisors’ Appreciation Dinner, bringing together its nationwide sales team to celebrate their commitment and achievements. The event marked a significant milestone for the brand, with 77 Sales Advisors graduating from the Chery Certified Sales Professional (CCSP) Programme — a homegrown initiative aimed at raising the bar for customer engagement and product expertise across Chery’s dealerships in Malaysia.

The CCSP Programme, which began in April 2025, reflects Chery Malaysia’s focus on developing a knowledgeable, confident, and customer-oriented sales network. It is a mandatory certification for all Sales Advisors with at least six months of experience and combines classroom learning with practical assessments. Over the course of three months, participants go through comprehensive training designed to equip them with the skills to match customers with the right Chery model, while effectively explaining the brand’s growing range of advanced technologies and features.

At the event, Chery Malaysia Vice President, Lee Wen Hsiang, emphasised that the company’s frontline staff play a crucial role in shaping the ownership experience. He stated that Sales Advisors are not only representatives of the brand but also the bridge between the customer and the technology behind every Chery vehicle. He explained that as the company’s product range evolves — particularly with innovations such as the Chery Super Hybrid system — continuous learning ensures that the sales team grows in tandem, delivering accurate information and a memorable showroom experience.

Chery has officially introduced the TIGGO 8 PHEV to Malaysia, joining the brand’s growing electrified line-up and positioning itself as a larger, more premium option for families looking to embrace plug-in hybrid technology. Like the smaller TIGGO 7 PHEV, the new model sits on Chery’s Super Hybrid platform but adds more space, more tech, and a greater focus on refinement.

Power comes from the same 1.5-litre ACTECO TGDi hybrid engine paired with a dedicated hybrid transmission and an 18.3kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. Together, the system pushes out up to 275 PS and 365 Nm of torque, while offering up to 90 kilometres of pure EV range and as much as 1,200 kilometres of combined driving range.

The hybrid powertrain operates at 98% mechanical efficiency, ensuring strong responsiveness and greater fuel savings, particularly useful for long-haul drives.

Charging times are identical to the TIGGO 7 PHEV, with DC fast charging topping up the battery from 30% to 80% in just 19 minutes.

AC charging takes about three hours, while a household charger will bring it to full capacity overnight. V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) support adds further practicality, allowing the SUV to power devices externally at 3.3 kW — making it a versatile tool for family trips or outdoor activities.

The Guardian Battery Safety System is also standard, protecting the battery in emergencies with features like high-voltage cut-off, IP68 waterproofing, extreme temperature resistance, and the ability to wade through water up to 500mm.

Chery has also packed in its ADAS 2.0 driver assistance suite, which offers advanced features including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.

Design-wise, the TIGGO 8 PHEV aims to deliver a more premium appearance compared to its sibling. Its front grille is paired with an illuminated logo, giving it a distinctive road presence, while the exterior features redesigned bumpers, 19 inch Diamond cut alloy rims, LED lighting, and refined detailing.

Inside, the cabin is headlined by a 15.6-inch infotainment display powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor, complemented by premium comfort features such as ventilated sport leather seats, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting with 64 colours, an immersive 10 speaker Sony sound system and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The TIGGO 8 PHEV is offered in Aurora Green, Khaki White, and Carbon Black. Like the TIGGO 7, it comes with a seven-year warranty (150,000 km), along with eight years or 160,000 km of coverage for the battery, power motor, and hybrid control unit.

The same one-to-one battery exchange guarantee applies if health drops below 70% within the period, and buyers also enjoy five years of free labour service. The Tiggo 8 PHEV is priced at RM159,800.

Chery Malaysia has rolled out the TIGGO 7 PHEV, one of two new plug-in hybrids making their debut in the country, built on the brand’s advanced Chery Super Hybrid platform.

Positioned as a stylish yet practical SUV, the TIGGO 7 PHEV blends sharp design cues with impressive performance and technology, giving Malaysian buyers another option in the fast-growing electrified SUV market.

Visually, the TIGGO 7 PHEV gets a diamond-embedded front grille and a refreshed bumper design, paired with LED headlights and sportier 18 inch wheels.

Inside, it boasts a 24.6-inch integrated dual-screen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android auto , ventilated sport leather seats, ambient lighting with 64 colours, and premium finishes that elevate the cabin’s feel.

Under the skin, the SUV carries Chery’s 1.5-litre ACTECO TGDi hybrid engine, paired with a dedicated hybrid transmission and an 18.3kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. Together, this setup produces up to 275PS and 365Nm of torque.

It can travel up to 90km on pure electric power and cover a combined driving range of up to 1,200km, making it a capable long-distance companion. The system is designed with 98% mechanical efficiency, which translates to smoother acceleration and better fuel economy.

Charging is straightforward: DC fast charging gets the battery from 30% to 80% in just 19 minutes, while AC charging takes around three hours. An overnight top-up with a household charger takes about 8.5 hours. For added practicality, the SUV supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), enabling external devices to be powered directly from the car at 3.3 kW — perfect for road trips or camping.

Safety has been prioritised through Chery’s Guardian Battery Safety System, which includes high-voltage cut-off in emergencies, IP68-rated waterproof and dustproof protection, and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures. The battery system is also resilient enough to handle Malaysia’s flood-prone conditions, with a water wading depth of 500mm. In addition, the SUV comes fitted with a full ADAS 2.0 suite offering adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind-spot detection, and automatic emergency braking.

Available in Phantom Grey, Khaki White, and Blood Stone Red with a Black Roof, the TIGGO 7 PHEV comes with a seven-year warranty (150,000 km) alongside eight years or 160,000 km of coverage for the battery, motor, and hybrid control unit.

Buyers also get a one-to-one battery exchange if health drops below 70% within the warranty period, plus five years of free labour service. The Tiggo 7 PHEV is priced at RM129,800. The Blood Stone Red paint option adds RM2,000 to the bill.

Chery has pulled the covers off the Exeed Yaoguang C-DM Global Edition in China, an SUV that blends familiar design with significant updates to its hybrid powertrain.

Available in three trims, the model has been priced from 139,900 yuan, which works out to roughly RM90,800, while the top-spec version climbs to 189,900 yuan or around RM123,300. Positioned as a “Global Edition”, the new model is clearly intended for export, signalling Chery’s ambition to push its premium Exeed line further into international markets.

On the outside, the Yaoguang retains much of the bold character of its predecessor, but with subtle enhancements. The full-width LED light bar across the nose remains, now joined by vertical light strips at either side to emphasise the SUV’s stance.

A new dual-tone exterior option has been added, giving buyers a sharper, more distinctive look. At the rear, the through-type taillights are still in place, but with the addition of black trim and twin exhaust outlets that lend the SUV a sportier finish. Dimensionally, the Global Edition continues with a length of 4,781 mm, width of 1,920 mm, height of 1,671 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,815 mm, while curb weight varies between 1,913 and 2,171 kg depending on specification.
