Chery Malaysia has officially launched the all-new Chery Tiggo Cross here on our shores. Priced from RM88,800 on-the-road, without insurance, the Tiggo Cross is locally assembled (CKD) and is available in two variants, with the highlight being the hybrid variant with a claimed range of 1,000 km.
- Chery Tiggo Cross 1.5 Turbo – RM88,800
- Chery Tiggo Cross 1.5 Hybrid CSH – RM99,800
Measuring 4,318 mm in length and with a 2,610 mm wheelbase, the Chery Tiggo Cross is shorter than the pre-facelift Proton X50 but boasts a 10 mm longer wheelbase. Furthermore, at 1,830 mm wide and 1,670 mm tall, the Chery is also wider and taller than the national crossover.
In terms of exterior design, the Chery Tiggo Cross shares a family resemblance with its larger siblings, the Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro. It features a prominent diamond-patterned front grille flanked by a pair of vertical daytime running lights (DRLs), while the rear features full-width LED taillights.
