Abou Ghaly Motors to Launch Chery and Richmond 2026 Models in Egypt

Chery is set to introduce its 2026 model year lineup in Egypt through its local distributor, Abou Ghaly Motors, alongside Richmond models. The announcement signals a clear expansion plan. The move aims to strengthen the brand's presence after recent successes in the SUV segment, where competition remains fierce among established players. The news was confirmed but pricing and full specifications are still under wraps.

Chery Tiggo 7 and 8 Prepare to Battle Rivals

For the Chery Tiggo 7, the 2026 version is expected to bring updates to the exterior design and interior features, while keeping the current 1500cc turbo engine. The Chery Tiggo 8 will continue as a seven-seat family option. Competition in this class is intense, with rivals like the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage dominating sales charts. The numbers will decide the winner.

Richmond: A New Brand Strengthens Abou Ghaly's Grip

Richmond is another brand under the Abou Ghaly umbrella, targeting a different customer base. Full details on the new models have not been revealed yet, but expectations point to updates in engines and transmissions. The Egyptian market is waiting for official pricing. Buyers here always seek value for money. That's what makes this segment so competitive.

Expected Pricing and Market Impact

Official prices for the 2026 models have not been announced. But based on current models, the Chery Tiggo 7 is likely to start around 1.2 million EGP, while the Tiggo 8 could reach 1.6 million EGP. Pricing for rivals like Hyundai and Kia will play a role in shaping the strategy. Every pound counts for buyers.

The upcoming launch reflects the distributor's confidence in both brands' ability to compete. As Egypt's automotive market continues to grow, the opportunity is there for Chery and Richmond to capture a larger share. The biggest challenge remains convincing Egyptian buyers to move away from traditional brands. Chery has a real shot. The competition won't be easy, but the numbers will settle it.
