Chery Malaysia is making life a whole lot easier for its hybrid owners. With the launch of the new CarLinko app, owners of the Tiggo 7 PHEV and Tiggo 8 PHEV now have a smarter way to manage their cars right from their smartphones.
If you’re already driving one of these SUVs, this isn't just a "cool gadget", it’s a free tool designed to help you save money on fuel and keep your car running perfectly in our Malaysian weather.
1. Say Goodbye to the "Hot Car" Headache
We’ve all been there: walking back to a car that’s been baking under the afternoon sun for two hours. It feels like a sauna inside. With CarLinko, you can remotely turn on your air conditioning before you even leave your house or office.
One of the biggest perks of the Tiggo PHEV is that it can travel up to 1,200km on a full tank and a full charge. The app helps you actually hit that number.
Smart Charging: You can schedule your car to charge at home during "off-peak" hours (when electricity is cheaper).Fuel Savings: By making sure your battery is always topped up, you’ll find yourself visiting the petrol station way less often.3. Your Car’s Health in Your Pocket
No more guessing how much fuel is left or wondering if your tires are flat. The app gives you a live look at your car’s vitals:
Check Your Levels: See exactly how much battery and petrol you have left before you start a long trip.Safety First: It monitors your tyre pressure in real-time.Service Records: You can see your full service history and get reminders for your next appointment. This "digital logbook" is a huge plus if you ever decide to sell your car later on, as it proves you took great care of it.4.

New Owners: Your salesperson will help you set it up when you collect your new car.Existing Owners: If you already have a Tiggo 7 or 8 PHEV, just head to your nearest Chery dealer. They’ll need to "pair" your phone to your car securely, a quick one-time process to make sure only you have control over your vehicle.
