Chery Malaysia at present previewed the Tiggo Cross to members of the media – you noticed the 1.5 Chery Tremendous Hybrid (CSH) model ultimately month’s Malaysia Autoshow 2025; now we convey you extra pictures of that in addition to the non-hybrid 1.5 turbo variant, seen right here for the primary time.
Each variants might be locally-assembled (CKD) from the get-go at Inokom’s Kulim plant (which churns out the Omoda 5, Omoda E5, Tiggo 7 Professional and Tiggo 8 Professional), enabling an sub-RM100k beginning value. We have no idea but if the hybrid will even duck beneath RM100k, but when it does, it should snatch the title of Malaysia’s least expensive hybrid from the Honda Metropolis e:HEV.
So what’s the Tiggo Cross? It’s the brand new identify for the Tiggo 4; a between-A-and-B-segment SUV that has the Proton X50, Perodua Ativa and Honda WR-V in its sights. It’s 4,318 mm lengthy, 1,830 mm huge, 1,670 mm tall and has a 2,610 mm wheelbase, so it’s barely smaller total than the Omoda 5 and kind of X50-sized.
That is the newest 2024 facelift; we predict it’s so much better-looking than the earlier mannequin we have been proven in October 2022. It’s acquired a bigger entrance grille with a black insert and surrounding trim, slimmer headlamps, full-width taillights and an overhauled inside.
The 1.5 turbo variant’s 147 PS/210 Nm four-cylinder engine is linked to a six-speed twin-clutcher, yielding a claimed gasoline economic system of 6.3 litres per 100 km and a ten.3-second 0-100 km/h time in Sport mode.
The hybrid has the identical engine however deletes the turbo, so the ICE output drops to 96 PS and 120 Nm of torque. Nevertheless, it joins forces with a 204 PS/310 Nm electrical motor that’s fed by a 1.8-kWh LFP battery (whole system output undisclosed).
Armed with a Direct Hybrid Transmission (DHT150), the series-parallel hybrid has a claimed gasoline economic system of 5.4 litres per 100 km and a 8.9-second century dash time in Sport mode (regardless of it being 97 kg heavier than the 1,468-kg turbo variant). The turbo variant has Eco, Regular and Sport modes; the hybrid Eco and Sport.
The turbo variant differs from the hybrid by having 18-inch alloys, six airbags, plain-finished steering wheel buttons, the Chery brand on the steering wheel hub and an ADAS suite that features lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross visitors alert, auto excessive beam, lane departure prevention, adaptive cruise management, ahead collision warning and autonomous emergency braking.
Compared, the hybrid variant will get 17-inch alloys, driver lumbar, seven airbags, gloss black-finished steering wheel buttons, ‘CHERY’ lettering on the steering wheel hub and an expanded ADAS suite that features door opening warning, rear collision warning, rear cross visitors braking, lane change help, emergency lane maintaining, multi-collision brake, visitors jam help, lane centring help and velocity restrict help.
There are solely two methods to inform the 2 other than the surface – the wheels and the tailgate badging (TIGGO CROSS for turbo; TIGGO HYBRID for hybrid, yup, no CROSS).
In any other case, each variants are similarly-equipped, and it’s an extended gear listing – all-LED auto lighting, auto wipers, useful roof rails, fake leather-based seats, soft-touch dashboard, ambient lighting, dual-zone air-con (with contact panel), one rear air-con vent, 15W wi-fi charging, powered driver seat (handbook for entrance passenger), twin screens (each 10.25 inches) with wi-fi Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a 540-degree digicam, TPMS and 6 audio system.
