Who the Honda CR-V suits

What decides it
1. Price
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid is listed at $32,300 (est. RRP excl. on-roads), or $34,990 (drive-away, VIC). The CR-V VTi L is listed at $37,000 (RRP when new, excl. on-roads), or $46,900 (drive-away, VIC). The list prices have different bases, so the VIC drive-away figures are the fairer comparison.
2. Fuel use
The Chery is a PHEV with an official combined figure of 1.4L/100km and a 93km electric range. The Honda runs on petrol and is rated at 7.1L/100km. To get the most from the Chery's figure, you'd want somewhere to charge it.
3. Boot space
The CR-V has a 589L boot with the seats up, about 114L more than the Tiggo 7's 475L. Fold the seats in the Honda and you get 1,671L. We have no seats-folded figure for the Chery.
Running costs
The Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid pairs a 18.3kWh battery with a 60L tank, takes up to 40kW DC charging and is rated at 1.4L/100km, against the CR-V's 7.1L/100km from a 57L tank. Both are serviced every 12 months, and the Chery's capped servicing comes to $1,595 (capped-price servicing total), while we have no capped servicing figure for the Honda. The Chery has a 7-year warranty (we have no distance limit on record), and the Honda had a 5-year, unlimited km warranty. Check the running-cost chart below to compare them over time.

Practicality
Both have 5 seats. The CR-V is the longer car at 4,704mm against the Tiggo 7's 4,535mm, and its boot is bigger at 589L versus 475L. For towing, the Honda is rated at 1,500kg braked and 600kg unbraked, while the Chery is rated at 750kg unbraked and we have no braked figure for it. The Chery has the tighter turning circle at 11.2m versus 12.0m.
Cost to tow
The real fuel/energy cost once you hitch up. Pick a trailer and trip.
⚠ PHEV: the rated tow capacity is legal, but once the battery is depleted it tows on the petrol engine alone — expect noticeably lower speed on highway climbs and much higher fuel use (real-world tests hit ~30 L/100km near capacity on a flat battery). Keep some charge in reserve for hills.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.
Will it fit in the boot?
May fitExample sizes only - measure your item before relying on this.
Volume check only (seats up)
Item box about 166L (35% of the volume). Litres don't describe shape, so this can't confirm a fit.
Chery doesn't publish boot dimensions for this car, only 475 litres. Litres can prove something won't fit, but never that a rigid item will - so the best this car can score is "May fit".
Based on the manufacturer's published boot volume.
