Chery does not build many cars like the Chery Tiggo 5x: a 5-door SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2017 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Its designer of record is Frederik Dallmeyer.

How it came about

The Chery Tiggo 5x (Chinese: 奇瑞瑞虎5x; pinyin: Qíruì Ruìhǔ 5x), also known in most global markets as the Chery Tiggo 4, is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese automaker Chery Automobile since 2017. It is the fifth model of the company's Tiggo crossover product series.

The hardware

Under the skin sits Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 1376 kg. The gearbox is a ubl | 6-speed manual | 6-speed DCT | 9-speed CVT | (DHT150, CSH Hybrid). The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2630 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
