Chery PH offers rainy-day deals on Tiggo crossovers

MANILA: A crossover is regarded as an evolved version of the sedan and in the Philippines, Chery is the sole auto brand that sells only crossovers. Its wide range consists of the midsize seven-seater Tiggo 8, the compact Tiggo 7, and the subcompact Tiggo 2 and Tiggo 5X.

Since floods in the country can be knee-deep due to strong rains, and fog may cause limited visibility on some roads, the Tiggos are designed with a ground clearance that is as high as 210mm and water-wading ability as much as 600mm, which are regarded as higher compared to the crossovers of competitor brands.

Modern 1.5-liter inline-four fuel-injected DOHC 16-valve Euro 5-compliant gasoline engines (turbocharged for the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8) matched to either automatic or manual transmission provide power to all Tiggo models. All models are also developed in the cutting-edge fully robotized facilities of Chery in Wuhu, China.

Chery models exhibit modern safety, convenience, comfort, and design features, while the high-end models take pride in luxury vehicle features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, leather seats, panoramic sunroof, LCD instrument panel, six-way adjustable seats, smart key entry system, cruise control, LED taillamps, automatic LED headlamps, foot-sensing automatic power tailgates, and ten-inch UHD touchscreen displays.

With safety as one of its key priorities, Chery vehicles are equipped with front and rear radar-based driving aids, six airbags, and a complete array of electronic driver-assist systems, which include the hill start assist and the hill descent control (even on the entry-level Tiggo 2).

The Chery brand was able to sell more than 750,000 units globally last year — an increase of 11% compared to the previous year.

Chery has been China's largest exporter of passenger cars during the past 16 years and was able to reach sales of more than 7.2 million vehicles in more than 80 countries.  It is also the top producer of both full-electric and hybrid vehicles not only in China but worldwide.

To highlight the brand's confidence in its vehicles, Chery Auto Philippines provides an industry-leading 10-year/1 million-km powertrain warranty aside from the five-year general vehicle warranty.

Even better is that Chery Auto Philippines is providing three-year roadside assistance and three-year free preventive maintenance service (PMS) on all Tiggo models.

Another reason to consider a Chery is the EC Mobile Home Service of the company. This allows a health protocol-compliant and competent service crew to do repairs and maintenance on any Chery model in the safety and comfort of the customers’ homes.

The Chery Auto PH app is also regarded as another convenient tool to use during this time that social distancing is the norm. The new app can be downloaded via Google Play Store for Android smartphones, and an iOS version for iPhones will soon follow.

The Chery Auto PH app serves as a virtual showroom where customers can browse through any of the vehicle models and specifications of the brand, request and book a test drive, order spare parts, ask for a quotation for Chery models that they are interested in, inquire about their preferred Chery models, schedule an appointment for vehicle repair and maintenance, and check the list of all Chery dealerships in the country.

The Chery Auto PH app also features a rewards program for users to be able to gain points through the use of the app in scheduling a service appointment, referring a friend, or purchasing a vehicle.

The new models have an introductory price of P695,000 for the Tiggo 2, P818,000 for the Tiggo 5X, P1,195,000 for the Tiggo 7, and P1,280,000 for the Tiggo 8.

Convenient-to-own financing promos can be availed with down payments as low as P15,000 and monthly payments that are as low as P5,635, which are subject to the approval of the bank.
