What makes the Chery Tiggo 2 a value-for-money crossover?

Reliable and safe mobility is now even a greater need, especially during the new normal. However, it remains to be a high-ticket item, particularly vehicles with a greater complement of features or are newer.

Small sedans are now costlier by about P200,000, while small hatchbacks may fall in the P600,000-plus range.

Yet, there is one compact SUV that aspiring car buyers can bring home for a reasonable price without compromising performance, convenience, and style — the Chery Tiggo 2.

Here are some of its notable features:

Sleek exterior design

This compact Chery SUV boasts of a sleek style and it also comes with fashionable dual-tone black-top finish that blends with its white, blue, orange, or red lower body colors.

Among the exterior features of the Tiggo 2 are its dynamic headlights with LED daytime running lights complemented by exquisite-looking taillights, side skirts, and a functional and trendy spoiler positioned under the front bumper.  

The Tiggo 2 also has an aerodynamic kit at the tail, side, and front areas of the vehicle and a sporty rear wing at the tail end of the vehicle, which controls air turbulence at the rear for greater stability even at high speeds.

Fuel efficiency and performance

The Chery Tiggo 2 has a high ground clearance that offers you the confidence to traverse floods and move through difficult terrain.

It is also fitted with a strong and highly fuel-efficient DOHC 16-valve Euro 5-compliant 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which is mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.

The Tiggo 2 also features a space-efficient body with a wheelbase of 2,555mm for efficient handling and performance.

Ample cargo space

The Chery Tiggo 2 has a cargo capacity of 420 liters that can be expanded due to the presence of 40:60 split-folding rear seats. It also has 21 individual storage compartments around the whole cabin for added convenience.

Classy interior

Inside, the Tiggo 2 features a distinct dual-tone, class-leading orange-and-black combination that provides the cabin an exquisite and sporty atmosphere.

It has a three-dimensional dashboard with an incorporated central console that flows smoothly from the dash. This provides the Tiggo 2 controls with a more comfortable and natural vibe.

For maximum entertainment and connectivity, the Tiggo 2 is fully equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen with smartphone screen mirroring. This allows you to mirror and access your Apple or Android smartphone on the vehicle’s display, which in turn, supports 1080p high-definition (HD) videos.

The system also includes a USB port that enables you to take advantage of high-quality multimedia files with ample support for all types of video, music, image, and document formats. The touchscreen is also fitted with a reverse radar plus reverse image with dynamic procedures for safe maneuvering anywhere.

Distinct safety features

The Tiggo 2 is fitted with advanced safety features such as electronic stability control that aids in vehicle control on slippery surfaces, hill hold control that prevents the car from rolling backwards on uphill slopes, and an automatic real-time tire pressure monitoring system.

A feature distinct to the Tiggo 2 is its speeding alarm system that allows you to set a fixed speed between 40 to 120kph to help avoid unintentional overspeeding. It also includes a manual transmission shift reminder to guarantee a fuel-efficient and seamless drive.

Affordability

The Chery Tiggo 2 has two variants, namely the 1.5 M/T, which can be availed for P695,000, and the 1.5 A/T, which is priced at P770,000. Meanwhile, the two-tone variant can be availed for P795,000.

Aside from its easy-on-the-pocket prices, the Tiggo 2 variants are also backed by the auto brand’s leading warranty services, which include a free three- year preventive maintenance service (PMS), three-year roadside assistance, five-year general vehicle warranty, and a 10-year engine warranty.
