REPRESENTATIVE PHOTODextar Vision / PexelsOur verdict
7.2 / 10The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is one of the best-value compact SUVs available in the UAE, delivering a spacious, well-equipped cabin and a broad suite of safety technology at a price well below most Japanese and Korean rivals. Its 1.5T turbocharged engine is adequate for urban use, though the FWD-only drivetrain and modest power output may disappoint drivers seeking spirited performance. The strong AW Rostamani dealer network and a reassuring 6-year warranty make it a credible ownership proposition.
Who it's for — Budget-conscious UAE families who want maximum features per dirham, first-time new-car buyers moving up from the used market, and company-car buyers seeking low running costs without sacrificing comfort.
