Chery
Tiggo 5
The
facelifted Chery Tiggo 5 has been launched on the Chinese car market. Price
starts at 89.900 yuan and ends at 150.900 yuan. The facelift includes a new
grille, new headlights, new taillights, new bumpers, and an updated interior.
It
all seems to work very well; the popular Tiggo 5 looks good enough again for
2015, and will likely remain on the market for at least two more years before
it will be replaced by an all-new Five.
Brown
is a popular color in China today and Chery goes along. Chrome strip around the
windows, one on the lower doors, and one on the rear bumper. New alloys very
sporty.
The
facelifted Chery Tiggo 5 is available with two four-cylinder petrol engines: a
139 hp 2.0-liter mated to a five-speed manual or a CVT, and a 152 hp 1.5-liter turbo mated to
a five-speed manual. The latter is the best engine for the car but there is no
CVT or automatic option.
Chery’s
interiors are improving. Still a bit dark in here but the materials are good
and the red stitching is nice. Instrument panel and 8-inch touch screen for the
infotainment system are new. The system comes with sat-nav, music, radio, a 20
GB hard disk, telephone, and smartphone connectivity.
