Chery Auto Philippines has never been shy about packing its models with more than what their price tags suggest, and the Tiggo Grand Tour is shaping up to be no exception. Positioned as a seven-seater MPV with the road presence of a crossover, the Grand Tour promises to give growing families a vehicle that looks good in the driveway, has room for everyone in the back, and comes loaded with the kind of tech and safety kit usually reserved for pricier segments.
We got a close look at what the Tiggo Grand Tour brings to the table, and here's why it might just be one of the more compelling family vehicles to enter the market this year.
MPV with crossover-like styling
Right off the bat, the Tiggo Grand Tour doesn't look like a typical people-mover. Instead of the boxy, van-like proportions that usually come to mind with the segment, Chery gave the Grand Tour a stance and silhouette closer to that of a crossover SUV. The front end is dominated by an infinity mesh grille that gives the face a sharp, layered texture, flanked by LED projector headlights that lend a modern, premium edge to the overall look.
Rolling on 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels, the Grand Tour carries a planted, confident stance that doesn't scream "minivan" the way most seven-seaters do. Around back, a power tailgate rounds out the exterior package, adding a touch of convenience for parents juggling grocery bags, strollers, or sports equipment. It's a smart bit of design thinking: families get the practicality of an MPV without having to sacrifice the head-turning appeal of a crossover.
Seven seats with room to spare
Of course, styling only tells half the story for a family vehicle, and this is where the Tiggo Grand Tour earns its name. True to its "Grand Tour" branding, the vehicle is built to comfortably seat seven, making it a natural fit for large families, multi-generational road trips, or simply those who need the flexibility of extra seats for weekend errands.
Inside, the cabin is wrapped in premium synthetic leather, giving occupants a upmarket feel that belies the vehicle's accessible price point. A panoramic sunroof stretches overhead, brightening the cabin and making the third row feel less like an afterthought and more like a genuine part of the experience. Multi-colored ambient lighting adds a touch of personality after dark, while the tilt-and-telescopic leather steering wheel ensures the driver isn't left out of the comfort equation either. Whether it's hauling the whole family or maximizing cargo space with the rear seats folded down, the Grand Tour is built to flex around its owners' needs.
All the modern amenities a family needs
Families today expect their vehicles to keep up with their digital lives, and the Tiggo Grand Tour doesn't disappoint on that front. The cabin is anchored by a 10.25-inch HD infotainment system paired with a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, giving both driver and passengers a clean, modern interface to work with. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, meaning smartphone integration for navigation, calls, and music is just a cable (or wireless connection) away.
Safety hasn't been an afterthought either. The Grand Tour comes equipped with a 360-degree reverse camera for easier maneuvering in tight parking spaces, four SRS airbags for occupant protection, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that keeps drivers informed before small issues become bigger problems on the road.
Powering it all is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder DOHC engine mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, striking a balance between everyday drivability and the punch needed for highway overtakes and long drives.
Affordable price and generous warranty
Here's where the Tiggo Grand Tour truly makes its case. Despite the crossover styling, the spacious seven-seat cabin, and the generous tech and safety features, the Grand Tour starts at just P1,088,000 — a price point that puts it well within reach of Filipino families shopping in the mainstream MPV and crossover segments.
Chery backs that value proposition with its Premium Preserv ownership package, which includes a five-year or 150,000-km bumper-to-bumper warranty, three-year free roadside assistance, and three-year or 60,000-km free periodic maintenance service (PMS), whichever comes first in each case. It's a package designed to take the guesswork and unexpected costs out of ownership, letting families focus on the road ahead rather than the fine print.
Between its crossover-inspired design, spacious and well-equipped cabin, thoughtful tech features, and a price that undercuts expectations, the Chery Tiggo Grand Tour is shaping up to be a strong answer to the question every family shopper eventually asks: Can you really get more for less? Chery seems to think so.
