Chinese car firm Chery looks to have taken a little inspiration from one of the biggest SUV brands on the market, Land Rover. The covers have been lifted off Chery's 2026 Tiggo 7 Sport and Tiggo 7 Plus, with both designs looking almost identical to Range Rover's popular Evoque.

However, in a major steal against their European competitors, Chery's Tiggo is set to hit the road for thousands of pounds cheaper. In Asia, pricing for the new Tiggo 7 Sport starts at 87,900 yuan or around $12,250 (£9,100). The higher-end Tiggo 7 Plus is priced at 91,900 yuan, around $12,800 or just £9,400.

In comparison, a brand new Evoque could set road users back around £44,000 with costs exceeding £50,000 in some circumstances.

Even second-hand Evoque's are still hefty investments with many used examples selling for around the £20,000 mark.

The new Tiggo is yet to be sold in Europe and prices would likely be higher when the model is made available over here due to costs around importing stock.

However, the lack of tariffs on brand-new Chinese cars means motorists in Britain will likely pay considerably less than those in the United States or the EU.

The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid has been made available in Australia with models hitting the market for $39,990.

This would be around £19,000 in the UK, making the Tiggo still a lot cheaper than many Western-built SUVs.

The Tiggo 7 cars are available in a range of fuel types with mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric options.

However, British drivers could be waiting a whole to get their hands on the model with Chery first set to expand to Eastern European markets.

There is a plan to launch in some Eastern European nations in the second half of the year with an initial focus on midsize plug-in hybrid models.

The Tiggo 7 Sport is fitted with a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine variant delivering 115 kW with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Visually the model is a jot with a mesh grille, concealed door handles and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the model is fitted with a 13.2-inch infotainment screen and a multifunction steering wheel.

Meanwhile, the higher-spec model has extra features such as a panoramic sunroof and ventilated front passenger seat.
