Tiggo 7 in 2026 — what's new
The Tiggo 7 carries into 2026 unchanged: there is no 2026-specific Malaysian update. The range remains a one-variant affair, the front-wheel-drive PHEV with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol hybrid system and single-ratio automatic transmission. Its published figures remain 90 km of electric range and 1,200 km of combined range. The PHEV has also secured a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating under the outgoing 2021-2025 protocol.

Verdict
At RM129,400, the Tiggo 7 PHEV sits just below the Kia Sportage at RM129,639 and MG HS at RM129,900, but above the BYD Atto 3 at RM125,800. Its case rests on the plug-in-hybrid format: 90 km of EV range for shorter trips, plus a claimed 1,200 km combined range. A five-star ASEAN NCAP result is useful reassurance, though it uses the outgoing protocol. There is no lower-priced Tiggo 7 alternative.
