Another strong player from China enters the market with an aggressive price tag.
We test the **2026 Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV** (also known as the **DR 6.0** in Italy or **Ebro S700** in Spain).
Prices start from **154,900 PLN** in Poland and **£29,995** in the UK.
For this price, you get a sophisticated powertrain: a **1.5 Turbo** engine paired with electric motors, delivering a massive system power of **279 HP** and **365 Nm**.

The factory claims 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds, but our test revealed that this SUV is significantly understated!

🔥 JOE’S TEST REALITY CHECK:
Factory claims 0-100 km/h: 8.2 s.
**My Dragy measured: 7.8 seconds!** 🚀
(0.4s faster than the brochure! Excellent performance for a family SUV.)
