Chery Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 Super Hybrids Land in Australia: How to Accessorise Chery's New Plug-In SUVs
CarMoods TeamChery has officially put its Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid and Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid on sale in Australia this month, giving the fast-growing Chinese brand its most convincing family SUVs yet. Both pair a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with a punchy electric motor through a dedicated hybrid transmission.
The headline figures are the electric-only ranges: up to 93km for the Tiggo 7 and 95km for the Tiggo 8 on the NEDC cycle. For most Australian commutes, that means petrol-free weekdays with a full tank in reserve for the school holidays. Both are backed by Chery's seven-year warranty.
If you're one of the many buyers about to take delivery, the fun part starts now. Here's how to set up your new Tiggo from day one, drawing on our Chery accessories range, steering wheel covers and neck pillows and lumbar support.

Why the Super Hybrids Matter
Chery has been one of the quiet success stories of the Australian market, climbing the sales charts on the back of sharp value and a long warranty. The Super Hybrid twins are its play for the heartland: the mid-size and seven-seat family SUV segments where the RAV4 and Outlander have long ruled.
The plug-in formula suits Australian driving well. Around town, you drive on the electric motor's smooth, instant torque. On the highway run to the coast, the petrol engine steps in, so there's no charger anxiety on long hauls.
It also changes how you use the cabin. PHEV owners spend more time in near-silent electric running, where every rattle, squeak and worn touchpoint is more noticeable — which makes interior quality upgrades matter more, not less.
First Upgrades: The Touchpoints You Feel Every Drive
The steering wheel is the single touchpoint you interact with on every trip, and a quality cover protects the factory rim from wear while adding grip. For the Tiggo range there are brand-fit options designed around Chery's wheel dimensions.

Shop nowPro tip
Fit a steering wheel cover on a warm afternoon or after a few minutes with the cabin heater on — the material relaxes slightly and stretches over the rim far more easily.
Comfort Upgrades for the Plug-In Commute
With up to 95km of electric range, the Super Hybrids are built for daily commuting — and daily commuting is exactly where seat comfort makes or breaks a car. Factory headrests are angled for crash safety, not neck support, so a proper neck pillow closes that gap on longer stints behind the wheel.

Australian sun is brutal on dashboards and screens — and the Super Hybrids carry big central touchscreens you'll want to keep out of direct heat. A custom-fit windscreen visor keeps cabin temperatures down and protects trim from UV fade while the car sits parked at work or the shops.

Frequently Asked Questions
What electric-only range do the Chery Super Hybrids offer?
Chery quotes up to 93km for the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid and 95km for the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid on the NEDC cycle, so most daily commutes can be done without using petrol.
Will accessories made for the Tiggo 7 and 8 Pro fit the Super Hybrid models?
Many will, as the Super Hybrids share core cabin architecture with the wider Tiggo range — but always check the listed compatibility on each product page, especially for custom-fit items like sun visors and floor mats.
What accessories should a new Tiggo owner buy first?
Start with the items that prevent wear: a steering wheel cover, a windscreen sun visor and a key fob case. Comfort upgrades like a neck pillow come next if you commute daily.
Are the Super Hybrids covered by Chery's long warranty?
Yes — both the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid are covered by Chery Australia's seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with seven years of capped-price servicing.
