You might have in fact seen the Tiggo Cross in and out due to our preview story; all we have to know now could be precise pricing (it is going to be below RM100k, however let’s see if the hybrid can even duck below RM100k).
Each 1.5 turbo and 1.5 Chery Tremendous Hybrid (CSH) 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). The hybrid solely must be cheaper than the RM112k Honda Metropolis e:HEV to change into the most cost effective hybrid you should purchase in Malaysia right now.
So what is the Tiggo Cross? It’s the new title for the Tiggo 4; a between-A-and-B-segment SUV that has the Proton X50, Energetic Perodua and Honda WR-V in its sights. It’s 4,318 mm lengthy, 1,830 mm large, 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 most recent 2024 facelift; we expect it’s quite a bit better-looking than the earlier mannequin we have been proven in October 2022. It’s received a bigger entrance grille with a black insert and surrounding trim, slimmer headlamps, full-width rear lights 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 gas economic system of 6.3 litres per 100 km and a ten.3-second 0-100 km/h time in Sport mode. In the meantime, the hybrid has the identical engine however deletes the turbo, so the ICE portion’s output drops to 96 PS and 120 Nm of torque. Nonetheless, it joins forces with two electrical motors which might be built-in right into a Direct Hybrid Transmission (DHT150) for as much as 1,000 km of vary.
The electrical portion outputs 204 PS and 310 Nm of torque (complete system output undisclosed). That is juiced by a 1.8-kWh LFP battery which lives below the boot ground, so boot area drops to 350 litres versus the turbo variant’s 380. Each turbo and hybrid variants are front-wheel drive and have 51-litre gas tanks.
Armed with a Direct Hybrid Transmission (DHT150), the series-parallel hybrid has a claimed gas economic system of 5.4 litres per 100 km and an 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 emblem on the steering wheel hub and an ADAS suite that features lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross site 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 all of the above-mentioned ADAS features plus door opening warning, rear collision warning, rear cross site visitors braking, lane change help, emergency lane holding, multi-collision brake, site visitors jam help, lane centring help and pace restrict help.
There are solely two methods to inform the 2 other than the skin – 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 tools record – all-LED auto lighting, auto wipers, practical 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 (guide for entrance passenger), twin screens (each 10.25 inches) with wi-fi Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a 540-degree digital camera, TPMS and 6 audio system.
