What a Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid costs to own over 5 years

250 km a week in NSW, plugged in at home most nights. No wallbox needed. Scheduled service every 12 months or 15,000 km, about $350 a visit (estimate, as pricing for this model is not yet published). Warranty: 7 yrs / unlimited km.

VariantOn the road*Power + petrol / yrServicing / yrTyres / yr5-year total
Urban$39,990$1,065$350$234$48,236
Ultimate$43,990$1,065$350$234$52,236

Cost to own = price (plus about $4,000 on-road costs where the price is before on-roads) + a home wallbox for EVs (about $2,000, one-off) + charging or fuel + scheduled servicing + tyres. It leaves out insurance, registration and resale value, which vary too much by person and car to estimate fairly. Resale value is the biggest unknown, especially for newer brands.

How we work it out

Weekly cost is the car's claimed energy use (kWh per 100 km) × your distance × your electricity price. "Per week" figures on this site assume 250 km a week with 90% of charging at home. Petrol comparisons use the fuel use and price you choose. Prices are list prices at October 2026 and change often; check with the dealer.
