Chery Malaysia has launched the CarLinko mobile application, a dedicated digital companion designed exclusively for owners of its plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) – the TIGGO 7 PHEV and TIGGO 8 PHEV.
The app aims to elevate the ownership experience through remote vehicle control, intelligent energy management, and real-time diagnostics, all accessible via smartphone.
Engineered for Malaysian Roads, Enhanced by Digital Intelligence
Chery’s PHEV duo, introduced last year, combines electrified performance with exceptional fuel efficiency tailored for local driving conditions. With a combined driving range of up to 1,200 kilometres on a full charge and full tank, both models reduce refuelling frequency and operating costs – advantages now amplified by CarLinko’s connectivity features.
The app, available free of charge for all Chery PHEV owners, transforms routine interactions with the vehicle. From pre-cooling the cabin before entry to locating a misplaced parked car, CarLinko targets everyday pain points with intuitive, tap-based solutions.
Simplicity Meets Intelligent Electrification
“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, Vice President of Chery Malaysia.
Key Features at a Glance
Remote Comfort Control
Activate air conditioning remotely via the app, ensuring a comfortable cabin temperature before stepping in – especially valuable in Malaysia’s tropical climate.
Vehicle Locator
Forgot where you parked? CarLinko pinpoints your vehicle’s location on a map, reducing search time and stress in crowded lots or unfamiliar areas.
Smart Charging Scheduler
PHEV owners can schedule home charging sessions during preferred hours via the app, optimising energy costs and supporting grid-friendly usage patterns.
Real-Time Vehicle Monitoring
Check mileage, remaining driving range, battery state-of-charge, fuel level, tyre pressure, and fuel consumption data anytime, anywhere – no need to physically enter the vehicle.
Digital Service Management
Access service schedules, view historical maintenance records, and stay informed about upcoming upkeep – all within the app for transparent, organised long-term ownership.
Seamless Activation, Universal Access
The CarLinko app is complimentary for all Chery PHEV owners. New buyers will have the app activated and paired during vehicle delivery. Existing owners can visit any authorised Chery dealership for verification and secure pairing.
The app is downloadable from Apple App Store (iOS devices) and Google Play Store (Android devices).

CarTok Editor’s Note
Buyers who value technology will welcome the CarLinko app as part of a more connected ownership ecosystem.
For fleet and corporate buyers, features such as remote diagnostics, scheduled charging, and digital service logs are more than conveniences — they are practical tools that can help lower ownership costs, improve maintenance planning, and optimise vehicle usage.
If CarLinko proves reliable in real-world use, this digital layer could become a meaningful edge in customer retention and future fleet deals, turning ownership experience into a competitive advantage.
