Not yet seen an 8 Pro in the wild, my eyes are peeled as always though.

Chinese brand Chery returns to SA
- Thread starter FiestaST
- Start date
Chery is not a member of the Naamsa Association yet so no official sales number, but I heard from the sandton dealer last two months they all surpassed 1100 sales, which is quite impressive for a new brand..

I don't give it much longer till their brand acceptance is the same as the Koreans.
The Indians are the new Chinese in terms of low quality.

That's rude.

Yes.
The Chinese brands are only now starting to get the refinement part right. Making sure the engine matches with the gearbox well for example isn't as easy as throwing a big touchscreen in the car. Getting fuel efficiency up is another thing that will eventually come.
The Indians will eventually get there as well.

That's just a normal translation by Google, I find out this forum last week as I am looking for a report how's Chinese brand performance globally, come on fellows, I am just trying to be nice to hear everyone's opinion, who doesn't love if there are some brand jump out and disrupt the price situation which is crazy and ruled by germany?
Be nice my man

You are mostly welcome, seeing my post like that rattled me a bit but I later understood what was happening when the other guy called you CCP which I of course called him out on.
Back to topic what's your take on the Cheryl's pricing? The Tiggo 4Pro is nothing out of the ordinary but it is similarly priced to other more well established brands that are tried and tested instead of undercutting them, what's up with that?
Appreciate to your welcome, yes back to the topic, I compared their price with Haval and Hyundai and rest competitors which in that 4pro segament, it's still have some price advantage but like you said not quite far compare with others. But I saw 8pro, it's difinitely much cheaper and offers lot of than the others, I assume the lower spec model price(4pro) is still in that level because they want to target on the same market the establish brand is on, they want to build up the price impression as well that's why I am so curious on how they are doing in the other different country. They want to be up not want to remain the same impression like qq.
In fact I am very posstive for their future, but one thing I also notice by reading the journalist article is the fuel economic is their shortage, they should get PHEV into the market, your know recent days China is really leading the electric car market, Nio, XP and BYD, look closely to BYD, they really get some excellent stuffs

Just how well are Chery vehicles selling in South Africa?
It’s been almost a year since Chery announced its return to South Africa. But just how well are its vehicles selling? Let’s take a closer look at July 2022’s figures…
Chery officially announced its return to the South African market in August 2021, this time entering the space directly as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese automotive giant. So, have local buyers taken to the 25-year-old brand?
Well, now that Chery is finally reporting its sales figures to Naamsa, we have a firm idea of how well its range is selling. As a reminder, the current line-up comprises three crossover models: the Tiggo 4 Pro that touched down in November 2021, the Tiggo 8 Pro that arrived in February 2022 and the Tiggo 7 Pro that launched in May 2022.
According to Naamsa, Chery registered 1 262 units in July 2022, with every single one sold through the dealer channel. That was enough to see the brand rank 13th on the list of best-selling automakers in South Africa, behind fellow Chinese firm Haval (1 502 units) and Indian manufacturer Mahindra (1 327 units).
To give you a better idea of where that sort of volume sees it slot in, Chery’s tally meant it easily beat the likes of Stellantis (which comprises the Alfa Romeo, Citroën, Fiat, Jeep, Opel and Peugeot brands, and ended up on 904 units), as well as Mazda (421 units) and Honda (297 units).
In the passenger-vehicle space (so, excluding light-commercial and truck sales), Chery ranked eighth overall, 404 units ahead of Haval (which relies on the P-Series and Steed bakkies for a large chunk of its volume).
If we drill down to individual model sales, we find the Tiggo 4 Pro was Chery’s best-selling vehicle in July 2022, with 689 units registered. Next came the Tiggo 7 Pro (372 units), with the flagship Tiggo 8 Pro (201 units) bringing up the rear. We’ll be tracking Chery’s growth closely in the coming months now that it’s reporting sales figures to Naamsa…
