Chery has unveiled the all-new Tiggo V at Auto China 2026 in Beijing, marking a significant step forward in flexible, multi-purpose mobility. The global debut took place on 24 April, with the exhibition running until 3 May 2026.

Designed to redefine family mobility, the Tiggo V introduces a highly adaptable vehicle concept that seamlessly transitions between multiple body styles. With flexible seating configurations, it is engineered to function as an SUV, MPV, or even a bakkie, offering a versatile solution for modern lifestyles. 

According to Verene Petersen, National Marketing and Communications Manager for Chery South Africa, evolving mobility demands are driving the need for more adaptable vehicles. “Across South Africa and globally, families are using a single vehicle to meet a wide range of needs, from daily commuting and school transport to long-distance travel, outdoor activities and even business use. Traditional SUVs often fall short in addressing this level of versatility,” says Petersen. 

“The Tiggo V has been developed to address this gap. Built on the principle of‘one vehicle for all scenarios,’ it delivers a flexible, multipurpose design that adapts effortlessly to different use cases, whether for everyday driving, family road trips, cargo transport or recreational activities.”

With a focus on practicality and innovation, the Tiggo V combines comfort, advanced intelligent technology, all-terrain capability and strong fuel efficiency. These are key considerations for South African motorists navigating rising fuel costs and varied driving conditions.

“The Tiggo V reflects a deep understanding of how South African customers use their vehicles,” says Petersen. “It is not just about getting from A to B; it is about having a vehicle that supports every part of your lifestyle.  Whether for work, leisure or family commitments, the Tiggo V is designed to provide flexibility, value and peace of mind.”

The adaptable design allows the Tiggo V to transition between multiple roles, offering a compelling solution for families seeking versatility without compromise. Its introduction also reinforces Chery’s commitment to innovation and customer-focused mobility solutions in both global and local markets.

The Tiggo V builds on the success of the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, which has quickly become a strong contender in South Africa’s compact SUV segment. Since launching in late 2021, it has grown into one of the brand’s top performers, with over 18,000 units sold in 2025, making it the fourth best-selling passenger vehicle in the country.

The final model name for the South African market, along with local specifications and timing, will be confirmed in the coming months.
