Chery has reached 40,000 customers in the UK just over a year after launching, as the Chinese manufacturer continues to expand its dealer network.

The brand celebrated the milestone in October when customer John-Paul Manning (pictured above) collected a new Tiggo 4 CSH Summit from Arnold Clark Chery Liverpool.

The handover comes as Chery’s UK retail network has grown to 100 dealerships, with the manufacturer continuing to establish itself in the competitive British market.

Chery registered 3,707 new cars in October, giving it a 2.4% share of the market, according to figures released by the manufacturer.

Hybrid models are proving particularly popular, with vehicles featuring the company’s Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) technology accounting for 87.67% of its October registrations.

The seven-seat Tiggo 8 was the brand’s best-selling model during the month, recording 1,243 registrations.

Chery’s UK range currently comprises four SUVs – the Tiggo 4, 7, 8 and 9 – with hybrid versions available across the line-up.

The Tiggo 4, which launched in May 2026, is the cheapest model in the range, with prices starting at £19,995 on the road.

The compact SUV offers fuel economy of up to 53.2mpg and CO2 emissions from 120g/km, according to official WLTP figures.

Farrell Hsu, managing director at Chery UK, said: ‘Welcoming our 40,000th UK customer to the Chery brand is an incredible achievement.

‘It reflects not only strong demand for our vehicles, but also the commitment of our retail partners to delivering exceptional levels of customer service.

‘I’m also very proud that it was the Tiggo 4 that took us there. Since its launch in May this year it has quickly become one of our most popular models, proving that UK customers appreciate its attainable pricing, efficient hybrid technology, and rich specification.’

The milestone customer, Manning, praised the Liverpool dealership following the handover of his new car.

He said: ‘The handover experience at Arnold Clark was also brilliant – everyone was friendly, welcoming and helpful.

‘Everything was explained clearly, and I was shown how all the features worked. The whole process was smooth and straightforward, making collecting my new car an enjoyable experience.’


All Chery models sold in the UK come with a seven-year vehicle warranty, while CSH models also receive an eight-year hybrid battery warranty.
