Which Chery should you lease?
Choose Tiggo 4 or Tiggo 7 for five-seat use, and Tiggo 8 or Tiggo 9 when a third row is part of the job. Then decide whether petrol, a full hybrid or a rechargeable plug-in suits your week: extra seats and access to charging are separate choices.
| Your requirement | Models to compare | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Full hybrid without plugging in | Tiggo 4 Hybrid | Compare Aspire and Summit equipment and actual cabin needs. |
| Five-seat SUV | Tiggo 7 | Separate petrol and PHEV entries. |
| Seven-seat requirement | Tiggo 8 / Tiggo 9 | Tiggo 8 CSH: 117 litres with all seven seats occupied versus 494 litres with the third row folded. |

Tiggo 7: choose petrol or plug-in deliberately
Choose Tiggo 7 for five-person family use in the shorter of the two Tiggo 7/8 bodies. The current UK petrol model is 4,553 mm long with a 484-litre boot; the Tiggo 8 petrol is 4,725 mm long and seats seven. That adds two passenger places for 172 mm of extra body length.
Regular charging makes the listed 1.5T PHEV DHT worth considering; the 1.6T petrol DCT suits a routine without a plug. The dimensions and boot benchmark above concern the current petrol Tiggo 7, so the PHEV needs its own matching load-space and electric-range specification.
Tiggo 8 CSH: seven seats leave a different boot from five
Choose Tiggo 8 CSH when you need seven seats occasionally and can charge a plug-in hybrid regularly. Chery quotes 117 litres of luggage space with all seven seats occupied, increasing to 494 litres with the third row folded. The electric-only headline is up to 56 miles WLTP combined for the current UK CSH.
For seven people and holiday bags, begin with the 117-litre arrangement and the bags themselves. Those CSH figures apply to the current 18.4 kWh UK plug-in, with range affected by use and conditions; a longer combined petrol-and-electric headline is not the electric-only figure used for tax.
Tiggo 9: keep the larger plug-in SUV brief specific
Choose Tiggo 9 if you want the seven-seat plug-in brief with an explicitly listed AWD drivetrain. IVF’s 1.5T PHEV Summit AWD entry makes it the Chery to compare when that driven-wheel arrangement is important. Give the third row and the luggage behind it a proper trial with the usual passengers.
For a regular towing job, build the enquiry around trailer weight and the supplied car’s approval and equipment. The exact UK allocation and specification still govern what IVF can quote.
Tiggo 4 and the support behind a newer brand
Choose Tiggo 4 for a five-seat full hybrid that refuels with petrol and needs no plug-in routine. IVF lists Aspire and Summit grades, so choose the cabin equipment around your daily use after settling on that simpler charging brief.
Make local servicing and warranty eligibility part of the decision. Chery publishes a shorter hire/rental warranty provision than its ordinary headline cover, so IVF needs the proposed lease’s classification in writing; a long retail warranty should not be assumed to cover this agreement. For a battery-electric alternative, use IVF’s electric car leasing hub.
What IVF adds to your Chery shortlist
Ask IVF to shortlist the right Tiggo seat layout and powertrain together, then resolve the lease’s warranty classification. That matters particularly here: a seven-seat CSH can suit the family brief while the published hire/rental cover needs a separate answer before you commit.

Warranty, maintenance and the full lease term
Chery publishes a standard vehicle warranty of seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Its policy limits vehicles used for hire, rental and other specified commercial activities to four years or 80,000 miles. The longer headline must not be presented as unconditional cover for an IVF lease.
For your proposed lease, IVF needs the applicable warranty classification in writing, including the intended use, servicing requirements, battery terms and shorter component limits.
Optional maintenance, roadside assistance and return condition are separate. Include the practical servicing location and the handling of a warranty claim in the decision, particularly where the planned mileage could reach a policy limit.
Chery company-car tax: use the exact vehicle
These Tiggo full-hybrid and petrol examples use emissions-based rates. Tiggo PHEVs need their own certified CO2 and electric range. A conditional PHEV tax row is not assigned automatically to any model.
Personal-tax illustrations: a full year, 40% income tax and no employee contributions or other adjustments, using IVF’s 10 September 2026 Chery entries. Neither lease rentals, employer costs nor equivalent-car savings.
| Listed derivative | P11D | Tax basis | BiK | Tax at 40% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tiggo 4 1.5 Hybrid Aspire 5dr DHT | £19,485 | 120 g/km | 30% | £2,338.20 |
| Tiggo 7 1.6T Aspire 5dr DCT | £23,530 | 159 g/km | 37% | £3,482.44 |
The published tax-year path for Chery
The illustrated bands are Petrol/hybrid, 120–124 g/km: 30% in 2026/27; Petrol/hybrid, 155–159 g/km: 37% in 2026/27. Confirm P11D, certified CO2/range and transitional treatment with your accountant. Read the general company-car BiK rules. Tiggo 4 Hybrid is a non-plug-in petrol hybrid; Tiggo 7 and 8 have petrol and PHEV entries, while Tiggo 9 is listed as PHEV, so no battery-electric rate is assigned to this range.
| Tax specification | 2026/27 | 2027/28 | 2028/29 | 2029/30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol/hybrid, 120–124 g/km | 30% | 30% | 31% | 32% |
| Petrol/hybrid, 155–159 g/km | 37% | 37% | 38% | 39% |
| Qualifying PHEV, 1–50 g/km, certified electric range 40–69 miles | 10% | 11% | 18% | 19% |
Chery: road taxes across the agreement
ECS uses list price with options before discounts, not rental or assumed P11D equivalence; confirm registration and funder handling. VED rules; eVED proposal. Tax checked 10 September 2026.
| Cost and timing | Application to this shortlist | Rule to check |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), 2026/27 | Tiggo petrol, Hybrid and PHEV entries have emissions. | Year one: £10 for zero-emission cars; petrol/hybrid rates follow registered CO2, without the former hybrid discount. Thereafter: £200 annually before supplements. |
| Expensive Car Supplement (ECS) | Tiggo CSH plug-ins are not zero-emission cars. | £440 annually for five years from the second licence. Thresholds: more than £40,000 petrol/hybrid; more than £50,000 for qualifying zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025. |
| Planned eVED, April 2028 | Tiggo PHEVs, not Tiggo 4 non-plug-in Hybrid. | Additional to VED: 3p per mile electric; 1.5p per mile plug-in hybrid. Not a current charge; final legislation and implementation remain relevant. |
Chery business accounts

From Chery shortlist to handover
- Write down whether you need Tiggo 7, seven-seat Tiggo 8, Tiggo 9 or the smaller Tiggo 4.
- Compare initial and monthly rentals, term, mileage, optional maintenance, fees and early-termination conditions on the same basis.
- Confirm petrol, Hybrid or CSH plug-in supply and the warranty classification that applies to the proposed lease.
- Agree return standards and charges for excess mileage, damage beyond fair wear and tear or missing equipment, with insurance and fuel or electricity budgeted separately.
Compare seats and powertrain on equal terms
Compare Tiggo 7 PHEV with MG HS PHEV using the same charging routine and contract assumptions.
For seven seats, compare Tiggo 8 with Peugeot 5008. Confirm the actual powertrain and occupied-seat luggage space on both cars.
Chery leasing questions
Settle the practical details before choosing your car and contract.
Are all Chery hybrids plug-in cars?
No. The Tiggo 4 entries are full hybrids. Tiggo 7, 8 and 9 include plug-in choices, while Tiggo 7 and 8 also have petrol entries. Confirm the actual derivative.
How much boot space remains with all seven Tiggo 8 CSH seats in use?
Chery’s UK Tiggo 8 CSH page gives 117 litres with all seven seats in use, compared with 494 litres when the third row is folded. Use the smaller figure for seven-person travel and test the actual bags and access. Match the supplied CSH powertrain and model year; do not transfer these figures automatically to the petrol Tiggo 8 or another Tiggo model.
Is Tiggo 9 all-wheel drive in the catalogue?
The Tiggo 9 entry is described as a 1.5T PHEV Summit AWD. Ask IVF to confirm the exact supplied UK specification, equipment and allocation.
Can combined hybrid range be used for BiK?
No. Plug-in company-car assessment needs the exact certified electric-only range and CO2, alongside P11D. A combined petrol-and-electric journey figure is a different measure.
Does the seven-year Chery warranty apply to every lease unchanged?
No blanket promise is appropriate. Chery’s standard headline is seven years or 100,000 miles, but its published hire/rental and specified-use restriction is four years or 80,000 miles. The applicable classification of the proposed IVF contract-hire arrangement needs written confirmation before the longer cover is relied on.
Is there a battery-electric Chery in these listings?
No Chery derivative here is classified as battery-electric. Full hybrids and plug-in hybrids are different. IVF can compare another manufacturer if a BEV is the requirement.
How should I compare Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8?
Start with seats: the UK Tiggo 7 is a five-seat SUV and Tiggo 8 provides seven seats. If the third row is regularly occupied, assess luggage with it raised. Then compare petrol or plug-in power around charging access, the actual UK derivative and the complete agreement.
Is maintenance included in a Chery lease?
Maintenance is optional: check that the quotation itemises servicing, tyres and exclusions for your chosen Chery. Warranty cover for defects is separate from routine maintenance, insurance, energy and return charges.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm petrol, Hybrid or CSH plug-in supply and the warranty classification that applies to the proposed lease. Compare the full hire commitment, including early termination and end-of-contract charges.
