Two-time Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics, Carlos Yulo, will not have to worry about getting around Metro Manila again. And thanks to Chery Auto Philippines, not even number coding.
Chery Tiggo 7 Pro
Yulo stopped by Chery Auto Philippines today to receive his second car, a brand new Chery Tiggo 7 Pro. Should his first car, a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, ever be banned from going out due to number coding, he now has an alternate vehicle.
Chery Auto is a member of the United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI), which also distributes automotive brands like Foton, Lynk & Co., and BAIC. In 2021, Chery's sister brand under UAAGI, Foton, gifted Olympic gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz, a brand new 13-seater TransVan for bringing home the Philippines' first Olympic gold in the Women's Weightlifting 55-kg class at the Olympics held in Tokyo.
The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is an SUV that boasts of spacious seating for five passengers. Powering it is a 1.5-liter turbo engine that produces 145-Ps of power and 210-Nm of torque. It’s paired to a continuously variable transmission with a manual mode that has nine-speeds.
The Tiggo 7 Pro is loaded with tech, boasting of a 12-inch fully digital instrument cluster. The center console comes with two touchscreen displays, one for the infotainment and another for the climate control.
Besides these, it also comes with comfort features like a large panoramic sunroof and a remote-opening rear hatch.
It’s also quite advanced in terms of safety with six airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, ABS, EBD, traction control, as well as hill start and hill descent control.
The Tiggo 7 Pro is offered in two variants, the regular ICE Tiggo 7 Pro and the Tiggo 7 Pro (mild) Hybrid. They’re priced at P1,250,000 and P1,350,000 respectively.
Handing over the keys to Carlos were UAAGI Chairman, Rommel L. Sytin; Group Managing Director, Froilan Dytianquin; Chief Marketing Executive & Senior Vice President, Lyn Manalansang-Buena.
Special parking space
In response to Toyota’s announcement of Yulo’s Land Cruiser Prado, Megaworld quickly followed with their announcement that his parking space has also been prepared.
To recap, Megaworld Corporation pledged a fully furnished three-bedroom condominium, valued at P32-million, located at the high-end Mckinley Hill township in Bonifacio Global City. The 100-square meter, three-bedroom unit is already equipped with basic home appliances and furnishings.
Included in the unit is a parking slot, perfect for his brand new car. This parking slot has its own Certificate of Title.
The slot was selected for its prime location, conveniently situated just in front of the elevator lobby. It is adorned with a banner that says, “A slot for gold.”
The rewards continue to pour in for Carlos Yulo. One can’t help but wonder, “What’s next?” An EV? A motorcycle, perhaps?
