    Outside, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro tries to imitate the looks of larger SUVs with its tall and wide dimensions. At the front end is the large Lexus-like front grille flanked by Matrix LED headlights. On each side are also DRLs and front fog lamps. The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro rides on 17-inch alloy wheels and sports an integrated load-bearing luggage roof rail as well as a panoramic sunroof.

    Granted that both vehicles look good, we’ll call it a tie.

    Interior

    Inside, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro sports a black-themed interior. Here, you’ll find double-stitched leather seats, a leather (perforated) steering wheel, and multi-color ambient lighting. Past the steering wheel is a seven-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment with Bluetooth, Mirror Link for Android devices, and Apple CarPlay. Audio is directed to six speakers placed inside the cabin.

    On the other hand, the Geely Coolray offers sport-type leather seats with an embroidered “S” logo just below the headrests and a unique textured pattern on the seat’s shoulder section. It also features soft-touch leathers on the dashboard, the armrests, and the steering wheel. Like the aforementioned Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, the Geely Coolray has a seven-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment system.
