New Tiggo SUV is the perfect fit for you
The Tiggo compact SUV, has been significantly refreshed in appearance, fitted with a new, more powerful 1.6-litre DVVT petrol engine and given a much-improved standard specification level.

The front and rear appearance is much more rounded and sleeker with a hint of aggression. The Chery design team, calls the new, flowing look Hydrodynamic Surfacing.
The exterior appearance benefits from the fitment of 17-inch alloy wheels, compared to the 16-inch wheels fitted previously. Distinctive daytime-running lights are another new feature, while there are light emitting diode (LED) stop- and tail-lights, with front and rear fog lamps standard.
The latest version of the 1.6-litre ACTECO engine has dual variable valve timing and now develops 93kW@6150r/min and 160Nm@3900r/min. The engine, which is also very economical, drives the front wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.
An important change to the interior is the fitment of grey, leather-trimmed seats, while convenience features include Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted audio
controls and rear park-distance control. Hill start assist is another useful feature which is standard.
Air conditioning, power windows, power steering, electrically-operated exterior mirrors, 60/40 split rear seat backrest for load versatility, an audio system with CD player and MP3/USB jack are all standard fitment as is central locking with remote keyless entry.
Safety is very high on the list of Chery’s priorities with the new Tiggo. Standard equipment includes an electronic stability control programme (ESP), dual airbags and ABS with electronic brake distribution (EBD) as well as ISOFIX fittings for child seats.
Chery added peace of mind for Tiggo owners with a three-year/75 000km service plan, factory-backed five-year/120 000km warranty and roadside assistance.
Chery South Africa has made a significant local test programme obligatory before the launch of any new or revised model and this is the case with the latest version of the popular Tiggo medium category SUV which was launched at the Beijing Motor Show last year.
Knowledgeable motor enthusiasts will have seen the latest Tiggo driving on a variety of road surfaces all over the country as part of an extensive local evaluation programme.
Chery SA sees the positioning of the latest Tiggo as being a well-built and value-for-money offering which is larger than many of the similarly-priced but smaller SUVs on the local market. The marketing team sees its appeal as being 50/50 male and female and with particular appeal for those who enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle.
This is certainly a model in the Chery stable that ticks all the right boxes and should find a ready market in South Africa with the strong swing towards SUVs for personal transport.
