Chery does not build many cars like the Chery Tiggo 3x: a 5-door crossover SUV with 1.0 L SQRE3T10 I3 turbo, built from 2016 to 2022 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.

The story

The Chery Tiggo 3x (Chinese: 奇瑞瑞虎3x; pinyin: Qíruì Ruìhǔ 3x) is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Chery based on the Chery Fulwin 2 hatchback. It is marketed as the Chery Tiggo 2 in some export markets.

What is underneath

Under the skin sits 1.0 L SQRE3T10 I3 turbo; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual / 4-speed automatic / 9-speed CVT. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2555 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Its place in the line

Where it sits in Chery's history is not in doubt: it was built at Wuhu, Anhui, China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Bolt, the Ford Escort, the Tesla Model 3. Nearby in the Chery catalogue sit the Chery Arrizo 5 GT and the Chery A1.
