Three-screen interactive design, Chery’s pioneering work in the 1920s, Dali is the first to test drive the new generation Tiggo 7

The wind in Xiaguan, the flowers in Shangguan, the snow in Cangshan Mountain, the moon in Erhai Lake, Dali’s “wind, flowers, snow and moon” have long been famous for making people look forward to it. In the minds of many people, going to Dali is a journey to cleanse the soul, or to seek a beautiful encounter.

Hao Yun's lyrics are actually the most direct, "Are you not satisfied with your life? You haven't laughed for a long time and you don't know why. Since you are unhappy and don't like it here, why not go all the way to Dali westward?" It seems that Dali is a source of infinite energy and beauty.

So, like many others, I came to Dali with this mood, and together with Tiggo 7, I put aside the worries behind my mind and experienced the most real life.

Return rate is the best way to verify your appearance

It was still snowing two hours before departure, and the delay was already expected, but fortunately, the flight was not canceled and I pursued a beautiful journey. There will always be some thorns, but it seems worth it now.

The new generation Tiggo 7 is parked in front of the hotel. The eye-catching color of the body makes people want to take a second look - "jasper blue", which is tempting enough for young people. , In addition, two-color body options are also provided.

According to the official introduction, its appearance is based on Chery’s new family-style peak design. The designer drew inspiration from natural mountain peaks and used it in the design of the vehicle through imagery design.

The front grille adopts a dot matrix design, and the Tiggo 7 PRO model also has a geometric matrix diamond highlight front grille as an option. The name is a bit convoluted, but it is handsome enough. For young consumers For readers, the name is not as important as the direct appearance. The headlights have also changed a lot from the old model. The entire series is equipped with multi-cavity array reflective LED headlights.

The side is outlined with multiple waist lines, and the combination of sharp straight lines and curves is very impactful. The C-pillar and D-pillar of the new car are designed in black style, and combined with the up and down curves, it is full of sportiness. You can feel from this that the designer wants to express the tone of the entire vehicle from the details. Young and sporty, the appearance of the new-generation Tiggo 7 has completely gone up a level compared to the old model. This appearance will make you turn heads.

Test drive around Erhai Lake and enjoy the scenery

On the east coast of Erhai Lake, there is a place called Shuanglang, which is the highest location on the Erhai Lake. There is a place called Shuanglang The small Nanzhao-style island stretches into the Erhai Lake. This is what everyone calls an internet celebrity resort. The first destination for our test drive was Shuanglang.

The interiors of Tiggo 7 and PRO versions both adopt an enveloping cockpit design, but the PRO configuration will be more high-end. The instrument panel size of Tiggo 7 is 7 inches, and the PRO version is 12.3 inches. The air-conditioning panel has a nice touch. The PRO version will have an LCD screen in the middle, and the three-screen interactive design is quite stylish. The size of the central control screen is 10.25 inches, and it is equipped with the Lion Internet system independently developed by Chery.

"Hello Xiaohu, navigate to Shuanglang Ancient Town", today's test drive begins. After spending a period of urban roads, we arrived at the most anticipated route, the Erhai Lake Highway. There are frequent turns on the road and it often avoids passing tourists, so I want to talk about its driving feel first.

The entire system has electronically controlled power steering. I wonder if I am used to driving my own French car, but it feels very light and has great directionality. When asking other teachers, the answer they gave was that the intensity setting seems to be closer to a sports model. However, in sports mode, the steering force is indeed heavier, but the difference is not particularly big.

The new generation of Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 7PRO use 1.5T and 1.6T engines respectively. The test drive this time was 1.5T. It is said that the 1.6T will be arranged for test drive after it is launched. The overall feeling is comfortable, the power output is very smooth, there is no "channeling" feeling, and of course it is not soft. In conjunction with the smooth response of the gearbox, I prefer to describe it as comfortable.

The throttle response is just right and it doesn’t take much time to get used to. Driving Tiggo 7 and walking along the Erhai Lake, other than enjoyment, I can't think of any suitable words.

After arriving at Shuanglang Ancient Town, I found that it was not what I imagined. There were "Internet Celebrity Check-in Points" posted awkwardly on the wall, and the cars from the car rental agencies were all parked on the roadside, as if they had been infected by the secular world. . But standing at the highest point and looking at the scenery of Erhai Lake, it really feels like the trip is worthwhile.

After a short stay, prepare to head to the next destination, the Tie-Dye Museum. Still driving around the Erhai Coast, the environmental management of Erhai Lake has allowed non-locals like us to see the best side of Erhai Lake. However, the highway does not seem to have a good response to Erhai Lake. Trucks are not controlled, so there are many potholes on the road. This is a bit harsh for a test drive experience.

The new generation of Tiggo 7 adopts front MacPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. Frequent cornering and various potholes, it is certain that the suspension supports the chassis. Very good, the body is very stable when cornering at high speeds. The suspension adjustment is relatively firm, and the feeling is obvious when passing through pits and speed bumps, allowing the driver to get a little road feel and a certain sporty feel.

Compared with the old model, the new generation of Tiggo 7 has been upgraded to varying degrees in terms of appearance, interior and power matching. Such big changes will make it attract more young consumers. By.

Previously, the new generation of Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 7 PRO have announced the pre-sale price, ranging from 86,900 to 145,900. If they are launched in mid-February, there will be more surprises in price, I believe it will definitely It will give Chery a good start in 2020.
