2025 Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is Australia's cheapest PHEV
The 2025 Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid SUV will start from $39,990 drive-away, making it Australia's cheapest plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) when it lands in showrooms next month. The five-seat Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid's $39,990 national drive-away price undercuts the Jaecoo J7 SHS Summit's $47,990 drive-away sticker, as well as the the MG HS Super Hybrid's $52,990 drive-away starting point. The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid will be available in two model grades, with the entry-level $39,990 Urban joined by the top-spec Ultimate at $43,990 drive-away. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. It's the same $4000 walk between the two model grades as with the petrol-only Tiggo 7 Pro SE and SE+, which are $29,990 and $33,990 respectively – meaning a $10,000 premium for the PHEV powertrain. The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid uses a 105kW/215Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and a 150kW/310Nm electric motor to power the front wheels only. The system offers four driving modes – Pure Electric, Series, Parallel and Energy Recovery – with up to 93km (NEDC) of electric only driving at speeds of up to 120km/h. The 18.3kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery can take an 80 per cent top-up using a 40kW fast charger in 20 minutes. Chery says the overall range of the Super Hybrid system is 1200km, and quotes combined fuel consumption of 1.4L/100km – compared to 7.0L/100km in the entry-level petrol-only Tiggo Pro 7 SE. Above: Chery Tiggo 7 Pro interior Standard equipment on both Super Hybrids includes a diamond-cut front grille – which Chery says will filter down to petrol models – 18-inch alloy wheels, LED projector headlights and integrated LED tail lights. Inside, synthetic leather seat upholstery covers all five seats, including the six-way power adjustable driver's seat, while there's a 12.3-inch centre touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver's instrument cluster. Intelligent Voice Command – which begins with "Hello Chery" – is standard and operates through the six-speaker stereo, as does the wired Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto connectivity. Driver assist tech sees adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist alongside the mandatory autonomous emergency braking (AEB) as well as front, front side and centre, driver knee and side curtain airbags. The Ultimate adds a powered panoramic sunroof, privacy glass, heated and ventilated front seats with driver memory, a 360-degree around view monitor and an eight-speaker Sony premium stereo. The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is covered by Chery's seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, which includes capped price servicing and roadside assistance.

2025 MG HS Super Hybrid: Long-range PHEV priced from $52,990 drive-away
MG Motor Australia has confirmed pricing for its two-variant MG HS Super Hybrid PHEV range, ahead of its arrival in Australian showrooms in September. "Tuned specifically for Australia driving habits," the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the second-generation MG HS launched in September 2024 will compete with existing plug-in hybrid (PHEV) mid-size SUVs, as well the next-generation Toyota RAV4, the replacement for Australia's top-selling SUV that will arrive here next year with PHEV power for the first time. MG will also release the conventional MG HS Hybrid+ to compete with the popular RAV4 Hybrid. The front-wheel drive MG HS Super Hybrid will be offered in Excite and Essence trims in Australia – with prices starting from $52,990 drive-away for the former and $55,990 drive-away for the latter. That marks a $16,000 premium over the equivalent HS 1.5T FWD. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. For reference, the BYD Sealion 6 starts from $42,990 plus on-road costs (~$45,524 D/A), while the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV currently kicks off from $57,290 plus on-roads (or $57,990 D/A as currently promoted), but will soon be updated. While more expensive than the BYD's base pricing, the MG Super Hybrid offers a longer electric driving range from its 24.7kWh LFP battery – rated at 135km NEDC, or 120km WLTP. Combined with a full 55-litre fuel tank, MG Australia says owners can expect 1000km or more of combined driving range. The MG HS Super Hybrid runs the same 220kW/350Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol PHEV system as the model offered in the UK market, though the Chinese brand's local division has tuned the drivetrain to act more like a conventional hybrid with a big battery, rather than prioritising EV driving like its overseas equivalent. As we detailed in our recent pre-production drive, the MG HS Super Hybrid will default to 'HEV' mode, and when its battery is charged it will drive as an EV up to speeds of 80km/h, then as an HEV above that. It will also turn on the petrol engine when maximum acceleration is demanded via a throttle kickdown. MG quotes a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.8 seconds, and combined fuel consumption of "under 5.0L/100km in real-world driving conditions" when its useable EV range is depleted. Full pricing and specifications for the Australian range are still to be confirmed ahead of the PHEV's September launch, though CarExpert understands it will largely be aligned with Excite and Essence versions of the HS 1.5T petrol model – you can read our full price and specs story here. MG Motor Australia has also confirmed the Super Hybrid will be backed by the Chinese brand's 10-year/250,000km new vehicle warranty, and near-100-strong national dealership network.

MG will also release the conventional MG HS Hybrid+ to compete with the popular RAV4 Hybrid. The front-wheel drive MG HS Super Hybrid will be offered in Excite and Essence trims in Australia – with prices starting from $52,990 drive-away for the former and $55,990 drive-away for the latter. That marks a $16,000 premium over the equivalent HS 1.5T FWD. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . For reference, the BYD Sealion 6 starts from $42,990 plus on-road costs (~$45,524 D/A), while the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV currently kicks off from $57,290 plus on-roads (or $57,990 D/A as currently promoted), but will soon be updated. While more expensive than the BYD's base pricing, the MG Super Hybrid offers a longer electric driving range from its 24.7kWh LFP battery – rated at 135km NEDC, or 120km WLTP. Combined with a full 55-litre fuel tank, MG Australia says owners can expect 1000km or more of combined driving range. The MG HS Super Hybrid runs the same 220kW/350Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol PHEV system as the model offered in the UK market, though the Chinese brand's local division has tuned the drivetrain to act more like a conventional hybrid with a big battery, rather than prioritising EV driving like its overseas equivalent. As we detailed in our recent pre-production drive , the MG HS Super Hybrid will default to 'HEV' mode, and when its battery is charged it will drive as an EV up to speeds of 80km/h, then as an HEV above that. It will also turn on the petrol engine when maximum acceleration is demanded via a throttle kickdown. MG quotes a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.8 seconds, and combined fuel consumption of 'under 5.0L/100km in real-world driving conditions' when its useable EV range is depleted. Full pricing and specifications for the Australian range are still to be confirmed ahead of the PHEV's September launch, though CarExpert understands it will largely be aligned with Excite and Essence versions of the HS 1.5T petrol model – you can read our full price and specs story here . MG Motor Australia has also confirmed the Super Hybrid will be backed by the Chinese brand's 10-year/250,000km new vehicle warranty, and near-100-strong national dealership network.
