The Future is Electric: Why I’m Excited About Chery’s NEV Expansion

Hello everyone, it’s Lesedi Macebele here! If you follow my journey with 'drive with lesedi', you know I keep a close eye on everything happening at Chery. I have some exciting news to share today: Chery is officially ready to 'strike on all fronts' in the local New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market. We are talking about a full lineup of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery electric vehicles arriving in 2024. Now, I know what you’re thinking—is this just another trend? Not at all. Tony Liu, Deputy Executive General Manager of Chery South Africa, recently confirmed that the brand is committed to bringing this technology here, and if history has taught us anything, it’s that Chery doesn't do things by halves. We have already seen the incredible value the brand offers, with models like the Tiggo 4 starting from just R279 900. When Chery enters a segment, they bring aggressive specs, industry-leading warranties, and incredible value-added products that genuinely challenge the status quo. For us here in South Africa, this is a massive win. As the largest vehicle exporter in China, Chery has the scale to make these advanced vehicles more accessible to the average driver. They aren't just here to compete; they are here to grow the entire sector and give us more options beyond the traditional internal combustion engines we are used to. I’ve always believed that the right car can change your life, and as we look toward this electrified future, I am here to help you navigate the transition. Whether you are looking for your first Chery or ready to upgrade to the latest tech, I’ve got your back. WhatsApp 'drive with lesedi' today for a quote or to book your test drive!
