Which Chery should I buy?

Chery Auto Philippines' refreshed lineup now includes six different models, covering a wide price range. With so many choices, it’s easy to feel a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out which one to go for. Five seats? Seven seats? Budget-friendly or more premium? There’s a Chery model in the Philippines that fits your needs.

The good news? Each Chery brings something unique to the table, and we’re here to help you find the one that suits you best. 

First on the list is the most affordable vehicle in the Chery lineup, the Tiggo 2 Pro. Positioned as Chery’s subcompact crossover offering, the Tiggo 2 Pro starts at a reasonable P738,000 for the manual variant and goes up to P888,000 for the CVT version.

Under the hood, it’s powered by a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine that delivers 108 hp and 140 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via either a five-speed manual or a CVT. The suspension setup includes MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam at the rear, while braking is handled by disc brakes on all four wheels.

Inside, the Tiggo 2 Pro offers practical features like seating for five and 420 liters of trunk space. Despite its affordable price, it comes standard with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 3.5-inch digital instrument cluster, power-adjustable mirrors, and keyless entry.

In terms of safety, both the MT and CVT variants are equipped with ABS, electronic stability control, a reverse camera, brake assist, hill-hold control, rear parking sensors, four SRS airbags, and cruise control.

All things considered, the Tiggo 2 Pro is a great option for first-time car buyers looking for a feature-packed yet budget-friendly crossover, or even for those in need of a reliable second car for daily use.

Moving up slightly in price and size, we go to the Tiggo Cross. Like the Tiggo 2 Pro, the Cross slots in the subcompact crossover segment but with extra length and slightly more power. Measuring 4,320 mm long, 1,831 mm wide, and 1,652 mm tall, the Cross is 120 mm longer, 71 mm wider, and 55 mm taller than its more affordable sibling.

As for power, the Tiggo Cross is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that puts out 114 hp and 141 Nm of torque paired with a CVT that has nine simulated gear ratios. Like the Tiggo 2 Pro, the Cross has MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam at the rear, while braking power comes from a set of disc brakes on all four wheels.

Inside, the cabin features dual 10.25-inch high-definition displays, one serving as the digital instrument cluster, and the other as the touchscreen infotainment system, complete with Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Just below the screen sits a sleek center console featuring dual-zone climate controls, a wireless charging pad, and an electro-mechanical gear selector.

Comfort is well taken care of with sporty bucket seats and a center armrest for the driver and front passenger. Rear occupants benefit from their own A/C vents and a folding center armrest with integrated cupholders.

Additional features include 60:40 split-folding rear seats, a six-speaker audio system, intelligent voice command, front and rear USB charging ports, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, and full leather upholstery.

On the safety front, the Tiggo Cross comes equipped with electronic stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, ISOFIX child seat anchors, rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, and multiple airbags to ensure occupant protection.

Priced at P998,000, the Tiggo Cross edges near the P1 million mark, but backs it up with a generous set of features. For buyers willing to stretch their budget just a bit beyond the Tiggo 2 Pro, the Cross offers a compelling upgrade in both comfort and capability.

Stepping into the realm of family-friendly vehicles, Chery’s entry is the Tiggo Grand Tour. It boasts a length of 4,722 mm, a width of 1,860 mm, and a height of 1,746 mm, providing ample space for both passengers and cargo.

Under the hood, the Tiggo Grand Tour is powered by a 1.6-liter TGDI four-cylinder engine that delivers 154 hp and 230 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).

Inside, this family-focused MPV features a plush cabin with synthetic leather upholstery and multi-color ambient lighting. It comes equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a seven-inch digital instrument cluster. Additional amenities include a panoramic sunroof and dual-zone automatic climate control with rear A/C vents.

Safety features include four SRS airbags, ABS with EBD, an electronic stability program (ESP), hill-start assist, hill-descent control, and a 360-degree camera system.

All this space and equipment come at a price of P1,188,000, making the Tiggo Grand Tour an affordable choice for large families or those planning to grow theirs.

Moving into the hybrid compact crossover segment, we arrive at the Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid. While it’s smaller than the Grand Tour, the Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid makes up for it with its efficient hybrid powertrain, upgraded convenience features, and a sportier cabin design.

Geared more toward active lifestyles, the Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid’s interior highlights include a spacious trunk, a dark-colored cabin, and ambient lighting. It strikes a balance between sporty and vibrant, ideal for drivers who appreciate a touch of personality in their vehicle.

Under the hood, the hybrid powertrain delivers a combined output of 153 hp and 230 Nm of torque, courtesy of a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system. Power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT.

On the tech front, the Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid features a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system paired with a crisp seven-inch fully digital gauge cluster. The cluster displays essential vehicle information at a glance, including real-time tire pressure from the built-in monitoring system.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, as does a wireless charging pad for compatible devices. The high-resolution infotainment screen also doubles as the interface for the 360-degree camera system, enhanced by front and rear parking sensors for confident maneuvering.

Premium features are part of the package, including push-start with keyless entry and remote start, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and a power tailgate for easier access to the cargo area.

The Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid is also well-equipped when it comes to safety. It comes with driver, front passenger, side, and curtain airbags. The braking and stability systems include ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), brake assist, a brake override system, electronic stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, hill descent control, and an emergency stop signal system.

With a price tag of P1,350,000, the Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid costs more than the seven-seater Grand Tour, but in return, you get a mild-hybrid powertrain and a significantly more advanced tech package. It’s an ideal choice for drivers looking for a well-equipped, efficient daily driver who doesn’t need extra seats.

A few cars back, we mentioned that the Tiggo Cross is a great option for those who want the size of the Tiggo 2 Pro but with added tech and refinement. That same theme carries over here with the Tiggo ReV C-DM, this time, on a slightly larger scale.

The Tiggo ReV C-DM is Chery’s seven-seater plug-in hybrid (PHEV) offering, building on the foundation of the mild-hybrid Tiggo 7 Pro Hybrid. Not only does the ReV C-DM feature a full hybrid powertrain, but its cabin is also more luxurious, with a refined, upscale design marked by clean lines, faux wood accents, and a stylish two-tone color scheme. In front of the driver is a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, while most vehicle functions are accessed via a large 15.6-inch central touchscreen equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Sound is delivered through a premium eight-speaker Sony audio system.

The Chery Tiggo ReV uses a monocoque body structure and is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine paired with an electric motor and an 18.66 kWh battery. This combination produces 154 hp and 220 Nm of torque, sent to the wheels via a dedicated hybrid transmission. While performance is respectable, the ReV C-DM’s standout feature is its range. Chery claims it can travel up to 1,400 km on a full tank, a major advantage given today’s rising fuel costs.

In terms of size, the Tiggo ReV measures 4,725 mm long, 2,089 mm wide, and 1,705 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,710 mm. It also offers 200 mm of ground clearance, making it suitable for a variety of road conditions. It rides on eye-catching 19-inch two-tone aluminum alloy wheels.

So, who’s the Tiggo ReV C-DM for? It’s ideal for families looking to switch to a hybrid crossover without breaking the bank. With a price tag of P1,648,000, the Tiggo ReV C-DM stands out as a strong contender in the hybrid segment thanks to its blend of practicality, efficiency, and premium features.

At the top of the ladder sits the Tiggo 8 Pro, Chery’s flagship crossover SUV. Positioned above the rest of its stablemates, this model brings more power under the hood and a higher level of refinement inside and out.

Geared toward families or professionals who want a well-appointed seven-seater, the Tiggo 8 Pro’s cabin highlights include a sophisticated interior with two-tone leather upholstery, brushed metal accents, and customizable ambient lighting. The cabin is spacious, luxurious, and designed for comfort, whether you're driving across town or taking a long road trip.

Under the hood, the Tiggo 8 Pro 1.6T is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged direct injection engine that delivers 194 hp and 290 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), offering smooth and responsive gear changes.

Tech-wise, the Tiggo 8 Pro comes well-equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an equally large 12.3-inch central touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a six-speaker audio system. A wireless charging pad is also included for added convenience. The infotainment screen also doubles as the display for the 360-degree camera system, supported by front and rear parking sensors.

Other premium touches include a panoramic sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, a push-start button with smart key entry, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and a hands-free power tailgate for easy access to the rear cargo space.

Safety in the Tiggo 8 Pro is just as advanced as its convenience features. It comes equipped with a full suite of protective systems, including multiple airbags (front, side, and curtain), ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, hill descent control, brake assist, a brake override system, and an emergency stop signal. On top of that, it offers advanced driver-assistance features such as intelligent high-beam control, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, traffic jam assist, integrated cruise assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, and blind spot detection.

If you want a Chery that checks all the boxes of power, comfort, tech, and safety, the Tiggo 8 Pro delivers the whole package in one sleek and capable SUV. And with a price tag of just P1,698,000, it stands out as a seriously enticing choice in its class.
