The Tiggo rEV is positioned as a family vehicle built around plug-in hybrid technology, a spacious three-row cabin, premium interior appointments, and equipment for comfort, safety, and convenience. Chery Auto Philippines is marketing the model for regular city use, family weekend drives, and longer journeys, in line with the brand’s global promise, “For the Family.”
For buyers moving from conventional vehicles, the Tiggo rEV gives Chery Auto Philippines an entry in the growing electrified family SUV space. The appeal is centered on lower fuel use, added driving flexibility, and the practicality expected from a seven-seat vehicle.

The brand operates locally under United Asia Automotive Group Inc., which has 20 years of experience in the Philippine automotive industry. Its support includes technical service, genuine parts availability, and an expanding dealer network for Chery customers.
