The new Tiggo 5x has been launched (mid-July), and it has been almost two months so far, but what is strange is that in the latest patent application drawings, the appearance of the new Tiggo 5x appears, so there is no suspense. But what is strange is that there are slight differences in details between the appearance application picture and the actual version, mainly reflected in the design of the chrome-plated decorative parts between the C-pillar and the D-pillar, and it is not a patch type, but an embedded one, and even for this They also dug a hole. Is there another mystery? Still have a backup project?
The front-end styling is compared with the latest 2020 Tiggo 5x currently on the market. The styling is exactly the same. There is indeed no change. Logically, there will be no glitches. Generally speaking, it can be ignored when looking at the application pictures.
But when you turn your attention to the side, this change comes. Notice that between the C-pillar and the D-pillar, there is a chrome-plated decorative strip that is flush with the top of the window and is in line with the side window frame decorative strip. It is connected into one body, like a lying V shape. Carefully compare the 2020 Tiggo 5x that has just been launched (in the red circle in the picture below). It does not have such a design. At the same time, pay attention to the design of the anti-scratch strip at the lower end of the door. The outline is consistent, but There is no thin hollow strip cut out in the middle. This is the second difference. The most important thing is that the declaration date was actually in mid-March this year. At that time, the new Tiggo 5x without camouflage had begun to be exposed one after another. The side of the declaration It is quite interesting that the details are different from the actual car. Of course, it is not certain yet that this will be another version. Maybe this is the initial design, but this design was eventually canceled due to cost considerations.
Don’t think that it is a temporary chrome patch. If you look at the body-in-white picture submitted at the same time, you can see that the extra chrome strips also have installation grooves reserved. In theory, this is It is a fairly complete design plan and is not a temporary move. We cannot rule out the possibility that Tiggo 5x will also back up a subdivision model project. Of course, no specific information has been exposed at present, so it can only be regarded as a certain possibility.
The same thing has changed at the rear, which has Chery’s Camp; The LOGO at the lower end is cancelled, and the word CHERY is added directly above the chrome horizontal bar. The others are basically the same as the currently sold version. In summary, it can be said that there are three slightly different details, and the declaration date is at the end of the first quarter of this year, so the possibility of retaining a new version is indeed high.
Just recently, the author also photographed a road test car with four-wheel independent suspension. Although it cannot be ruled out that it is a new energy pure electric version, the grille is very interesting. It is just ordinary. The grille of the fuel version.
At first glance, the grille of the pure electric version is similar to that of the fuel version. However, if you look closely at the chrome plate above the LOGO base, you can see that there is indeed a difference. The fuel version has only one grille, while the pure electric version has three grilles. Well, it’s really hard to tell whether this is a pure electric or a fuel version of the road test car. If it is a fuel version, it means there is still a project to be promoted, and this project is very likely to be the idea in the patent application diagram. Why do you say Ideas? We do not rule out the possibility of adjustments. Even Tiggo 5x has begun to consider launching a diamond grille version. Tiggo 5x may also have similar plans.
Due to the poor clarity of the rear spy photos, it seems that an exhaust pipe can be vaguely seen. Of course, the most important thing is the rear suspension four-link design.
Although it is not appropriate to conclude prematurely that the version in the patent application picture will definitely be launched on the market, it is indeed rare that there are three differences between the details in the patent application picture and the actual car on the market. Of course, this is rare. It is for Chery. So far, it can be said that all the new cars applied by Chery are completely consistent with the actual cars on the market in terms of appearance. This time the Tiggo 5x is truly a first. Of course, the best outcome is to launch a brand new model. It couldn't be better. Tiggo 3x has launched a Plus version. Is there no idea for Tiggo 5x? Maybe this patent application picture is a hint. Of course, it may be nothing at all. Specifically, I still concentrate on waiting for more spy photos of the actual car to appear. If there is no nearly modified version, it means that the patent application picture shows Style is really giving up.
