Chery: who are they?
Chery is a Chinese car manufacturer founded in 1997 in the city of Wuhu (Anhui province). It is one of the most export-oriented Chinese brands: Chery has led China's car manufacturers by exports for 23 years in a row. In 2025, Chery was the world's best-selling Chinese SUV brand.
Chery by the numbers
- Sales: In 2025, Chery Group sold about 2,806,393 cars worldwide.
- Exports: About 1,344,020 cars were exported — one of the highest figures among Chinese manufacturers.
- Fortune Global 500: In 2025, Chery Group ranked 233rd on the prestigious Fortune Global 500 list, climbing 152 places over the year — the fastest-rising car manufacturer on this ranking.
- Export leadership: 23 years in a row in first place by exports among Chinese brands.
These figures show that Chery is not a new or random brand, but a mature manufacturer with a global scale and a long export history. This matters to the Lithuanian buyer assessing whether a brand will stay in the market for the long term.
The brand family
Chery Group owns not only the Chery brand itself but also several separate marques (for example, OMODA and JAECOO), aimed at different buyer segments. In Lithuania, the Chery brand was the first to be introduced, with the Tiggo SUV line.
Chery in Lithuania — official dealers and service
When did Chery come to Lithuania?
Chery officially started operations in Lithuania on 16 April 2026 — the brand's launch event in Vilnius was attended by media, the business community and car enthusiasts. WESS Mobility became the official Chery importer for the Baltic states.
Official showrooms and service
Chery cars can be bought and serviced in Lithuania through the official dealer network:
| Dealer | Cities |
|---|---|
| Stelauto | Vilnius, Kaunas |
| Klaipėdos autocentras | Klaipėda |
For more information about the models, offers and dealers, see the official cherymotor.lt website.
Alternative: WHEELSTREET brings new Chery cars straight from the manufacturer — on competitive terms and with a realistic delivery timeline. More in the section below. For more on ordering new cars straight from the manufacturer, read here.
Warranty
Chery offers one of the longer warranties on the market:
| Warranty type | Duration / mileage |
|---|---|
| Basic vehicle warranty | 7 years / 150,000 km |
| Hybrid battery warranty | 8 years / 160,000 km |
The 7-year basic warranty is a significant argument — it is longer than that of most traditional European brands (usually 2–5 years). It is one of the peace-of-mind factors when choosing a brand still relatively new to the market.
Chery model guide — the Tiggo line in Lithuania
In 2026, the entire Tiggo SUV line is officially offered in Lithuania. Below is the purpose and main features of each model. It is always worth confirming exact trim specifications with a dealer or when submitting an inquiry.
Chery Tiggo 4 — compact city SUV
Segment: Compact SUV Drivetrain: Hybrid (HEV) Best for: City drivers, a first family SUV, those looking for an economical hybrid
The Tiggo 4 is the entry point of the Tiggo line, offered with a hybrid (HEV) drivetrain. It is a compact SUV that is easy to manoeuvre in the city, combining a petrol engine with an electric system without the need to charge from the grid. It suits those who want lower fuel consumption in the city but are not yet ready to move to a plug-in hybrid or a full electric vehicle.
Chery Tiggo 7 — the popular mid-range SUV
Segment: Compact SUV (C) Drivetrains: Petrol (ICE) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV / Chery Super Hybrid) Best for: Everyday use, mixed city and out-of-town driving
The Tiggo 7 is one of the line's core models, offered both with a petrol engine and with a plug-in hybrid (Chery Super Hybrid) drivetrain. The plug-in hybrid version lets you cover daily city routes mostly on electricity, while calling on the petrol engine for longer journeys. The Tiggo 7 has received a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating — a strong argument for families.

Chery Tiggo 8 — spacious family SUV with up to 7 seats
Segment: Mid-size SUV (D) Drivetrains: Petrol (ICE) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV / Chery Super Hybrid) Best for: Larger families, those seeking space and seven seats
The Tiggo 8 is a larger, more spacious model that, in some trims, can be offered with a third row of seats. Like the Tiggo 7, it is offered with a petrol engine and a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. The Tiggo 8 has also been awarded 5 stars by Euro NCAP — one of the more important measures for a larger family car.
Chery Tiggo 9 — flagship plug-in hybrid
Segment: Large SUV (D/E) Drivetrain: Plug-in hybrid (PHEV / Chery Super Hybrid) Best for: A flagship, long journeys, those seeking a premium feel
The Tiggo 9 is the top of the Tiggo line, offered with a plug-in hybrid (Chery Super Hybrid) system. It is the largest and most luxurious model in the line, aimed at those for whom space, equipment and a high total driving range — combining electricity with petrol — matter. On the flagship CSH models, the manufacturer declares a total range of about 1,200 km (depending on the model and conditions).

Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) technology
One of the most frequently mentioned Chery advantages is the fifth-generation hybrid system Chery Super Hybrid (CSH). Why does it matter to the Lithuanian driver?
What is CSH?
CSH is a fifth-generation hybrid drivetrain combining a dedicated 1.5 l GDI hybrid engine, a special hybrid transmission (DHT) and a battery. The system is designed so that as much driving as possible happens on electricity, with the petrol engine kicking in at its most efficient operating point.
Main CSH figures (manufacturer-declared)
- Engine thermal efficiency: up to about 44.5% — one of the highest figures in the world for a production hybrid engine.
- Electric-only range: approximately 90–140 km (depending on the model and conditions) — for daily city routes, electricity alone is often enough.
- Total driving range: up to about 1,200 km (depending on the model) — combining a full battery and a tank of petrol.
Important: these are manufacturer-declared figures under laboratory conditions. The real range — especially in a Lithuanian winter — depends on temperature, driving style and route, so in practice it may be lower. The advantage of a plug-in hybrid in this context is that once the battery's electricity is used up, the car keeps going on petrol — there is no range-anxiety problem.
Warranty and reliability
Chery's reliability assessment in the Lithuanian market is still taking shape — the brand is completely new here (since April 2026), so there is not yet any long-term operating data under local conditions. However, there are several objective peace-of-mind factors:
- A long 7-year / 150,000 km basic warranty and an additional 8-year / 160,000 km hybrid battery warranty — longer than that of most traditional brands.
- 5-star Euro NCAP safety ratings for the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 models.
- A mature manufacturer — the leading Chinese brand by exports for 23 years in a row and included in the Fortune Global 500 (233rd place in 2025). This reduces the risk of the brand leaving the market.
What else is worth weighing when choosing a brand fresh to the market:
- The service and parts network is still growing — in Lithuania, official dealers operate in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda, but the network is, for now, smaller than that of long-established brands.
- Residual (resale) value — a new brand does not yet have a long secondary-market history in Lithuania, so residual value is, for now, hard to forecast precisely.
Is it worth buying a Chery?
Short answer: Chery is worth considering if you are looking for a well-equipped, safe SUV with a long warranty and a competitive price for the segment, and especially if you are interested in a modern hybrid or plug-in hybrid for everyday use.
Advantages:
- A long 7-year / 150,000 km warranty (8 years / 160,000 km for the hybrid battery).
- 5-star Euro NCAP safety for the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8.
- Modern Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) hybrid technology with high efficiency.
- A competitive price and usually generous standard equipment for the money.
- A mature, globally scaled manufacturer with a long export history.
Drawbacks / things to keep in mind:
- The brand is very new in Lithuania — long-term operating and residual-value data is still being gathered.
- The service and parts network, while growing, is for now smaller than that of long-established brands.
- The CSH range and efficiency figures are manufacturer-declared — in reality, especially in winter, they may be more modest.

Summary
Chery arrived in Lithuania with a serious start: the entire Tiggo SUV line, a long 7-year warranty, 5-star Euro NCAP safety on the core models, and modern Chery Super Hybrid technology. Behind the brand stands a mature manufacturer — China's export leader for 23 years in a row and a member of the Fortune Global 500. The main thing worth weighing is that the brand is still completely new in Lithuania, so long-term reliability and residual-value data is only just forming, and the service network is growing.
If you are looking for a well-equipped, safe, competitively priced hybrid or plug-in hybrid SUV, the Chery Tiggo line is definitely worth adding to your shortlist. WHEELSTREET will help you compare models, calculate leasing and, if you wish, bring in a new Chery straight from the manufacturer on competitive terms.
