When the Tiggo 5x concept version debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show in April this year, both industry insiders and consumers regarded it as a replacement for the Tiggo 5, and the manufacturer did not give much explanation. It can be seen that Chery itself has struggled with its product strategy. After all, Tiggo 5 has contributed good sales results to Chery for a period of time. The styling of Tiggo 5x is too subversive compared to Tiggo 5, and the two have shown different style orientations from the beginning. The price range of Tiggo 5X is 79,900-110,900 yuan. Among the compact SUVs of Chinese brands, this price is really not high.
Tiggo 5x adopts the latest design concept of the Tiggo family, making it more personalized and lively. Tiggo 5x uses a polygonal grille with a porous diamond layout. A chrome decorative strip that runs horizontally through the air intake grille connects the headlights together, increasing the width and overall sense of the front face's horizontal vision. The silver decorative strip runs across the entire bumper and surrounds the fog lamps to form two Symmetrical "C" shaped structure.
The tail shape of Tiggo 5x is extremely sculptural. The three-dimensional taillights and the clearly layered rear tailgate fully reveal this. The tail wing extending above the trunk enhances the sporty positioning of the vehicle. The body dimensions of the new car are 4338/1830/1645mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2630mm. Compared with the current Tiggo 5, the wheelbase of the new car has increased by 20mm.
In terms of interior, Tiggo 5x is still fully personalized, adopting the most popular asymmetrical design style. The multimedia system is arranged in a position that is more convenient for the driver to see and touch, which enhances the user experience. computer interaction efficiency. The interior panels on the center console of Tiggo 5x are designed with a variety of different patterns to meet the diverse aesthetic needs of young people. The soft material coverage rate is high, which further improves the user experience and texture.
In terms of configuration, the biggest highlight of the car is that it is equipped with Chery's latest Clouddrive3.0 system, which has intelligent voice recognition and control, and mobile phone intelligent interconnection system (supports CarPlay CarLife). Tiggo 5x also comes standard with Bosch 9.1ESP, electronic parking system EPB, emergency braking, panoramic imaging, LDW lane departure warning, etc. At the same time, panoramic sunroof, real-time tire pressure monitoring, cruise control, steep slope descent and other functions will also appear on this new car.
Tiggo 5x is based on the T1X professional SUV platform. The new car will initially be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 108kW and a peak torque of 210Nm. The engine is matched with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. . 0-100 km/h takes 9.7 seconds, and the fuel consumption is 6.5L per 100 kilometers. The car uses a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension structure.
During the test drive, the power matching of the 1.5T 6DCT was very easy to drive, and the engine responded quickly. Unfortunately, the dual-clutch gearbox shifted slowly, so that there was no obvious explosion in power output, but the power explosion was sacrificed in exchange for What comes is a sense of frustration that rarely occurs, which is very consistent with the tone of a family SUV. In terms of suspension, the Tiggo 5x, which is based on the T1X platform, has relatively excellent chassis dynamic response and shows resilience when cornering at high speeds or braking suddenly. However, if it only achieves these, the Tiggo 5x will not be able to compete in the fierce competition. It’s not easy to stand out among them.
