Chery Malaysia has introduced a mobile app for its plug-in hybrid owners. Called CarLinko, the app claims to offer smarter monitoring, energy management and everyday convenience to users of the Tiggo 7 PHEV and Tiggo 8 PHEV, both launched in October 2025. “At Chery, our goal is to ensure that PHEV technology enhances daily life through simplicity and intelligent design. CarLinko extends the benefits of plug-in hybrid driving beyond fuel savings by giving owners seamless control over comfort, charging and vehicle insights, reinforcing our commitment to smarter, more enjoyable electrified mobility,” said Lee Wen Hsiang, VP of Chery Malaysia. CarLinko users can remotely activate their PHEV’s air-con before entering the car, and it has a vehicle locator feature for moments that we forget where we parked. EV-style features include scheduling charging at home via the app, making it convenient to juice up during preferred hours and lower your electricity bill. The CarLinko app also gives PHEV owners real-time access to vehicle information such as mileage, remaining range and battery/petrol levels. One can also check his/her car’s tyre pressure and fuel consumption data remotely. Finally, owners can check review service schedules and access service records on the app. Offered as a complimentary feature for Chery PHEV owners, the CarLinko app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android. New car owners will have activation and pairing done during delivery. Existing Chery PHEV owners can activate the service by visiting their nearest Chery dealership for verification and secure pairing. A nice EV-style feature for PHEV owners, something that some brands selling EVs don’t even offer. Full details and specs of the 1.5T Chery Super Hybrid-powered Tiggo 7 PHEV and Tiggo 8 PHEV here.
