The exterior of the Tenet T7 stands out with a large radiator grille with chrome trim and a recognizable design that emphasizes the model’s belonging to the Tenet crossover family. The silhouette of the car is balanced by horizontal waist lines running along the side of the body – the upper one gives a sense of stability, and the two lower ones, more rounded and smooth, emphasize the dynamic character of the model.
When looking at the car from the side, the effect of a “floating” roof appears, which creates a sense of speed, visually increasing the height of the body. The stylish look of the car is complemented by matrix LED headlights and LED taillights connected by a horizontal light bar.

Tenet claims that the T7 crossover was created with a deep understanding of the Russian climate and operating conditions. In the cold season, the driver and passengers will enjoy comfortable driving conditions thanks to the full “winter” package, which includes heated windshields, rear windows, washer nozzles, exterior mirrors, steering wheel and all seats.
The Sony audio system, interior lighting with continuously variable color change and dual-zone climate control with an N95 filter are responsible for the atmosphere in the cabin. The central element of the interior is the multimedia system with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay support and a curved panel that combines two full-color 12.3-inch HD screens, one of which is reserved for the digital instrument panel.
“The car acts as an intelligent assistant thanks to the powerful Snapdragon 8155 processor, which ensures instant interface response and smooth operation of all systems,” they added. Tenet.
Safety is ensured by the 540° all-round view system, which forms a virtual projection of the car from a bird’s eye view for confident maneuvering in a confined space, and the function of projecting the underhood space onto the multimedia system screen allows the driver to accurately assess the distance to obstacles when overcoming difficult sections – be it deep ruts, steep entrances or uneven terrain.The Tenet Remote telematics system, also included in the car’s equipment, provides the user with remote control: monitoring the condition of the car, remote engine start, climate control system, heated seats and windows, online diagnostics, the ability to sign up for service at any convenient time and much more.In addition, the car is equipped with automatic rain and light sensors that independently activate the windshield wipers and adjust the headlights depending on the lighting conditions. The Tire Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System (TPMS) provides early warning of potential problems, while the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) ensure confident handling.

Additional conveniences include a delayed headlight switching function (Follow me home), cruise control for comfortable long-distance travel, as well as an electric parking brake with AutoHold function, which is especially useful when starting off on an incline. Also, the Tenet T7 design includes six airbags and side curtain airbags by default.
As for the "technology", the power unit in the Tenet T7 is the same as in the "original" Chery Tiggo 7L - this is the only 150-horsepower 1.6-liter gasoline turbo engine, which at peak develops 275 Nm of torque and is combined with a seven-speed robotic gearbox. The minimum fuel consumption rate with such a powertrain combination when driving on the highway is 6.2 liters per 100 km.

Prices for front-wheel drive versions range from 2,680,000 to 3,000,000 rubles, and for all-wheel drive versions - from 2,880,000 to 3,230,000 rubles.
