"Easy to drive and smart", this is the slogan of Chery's new generation Tiggo 5x high-energy version. I like this sentence very much. It represents the goal that most cars want to achieve. It is simple but not simple.
The power is very smooth, and it is easy to drive in daily driving
Of course there are differences between the high-energy version and the regular version. The biggest difference is the powertrain, which is upgraded from 1.5L to 1.5T. The maximum power is increased from 116 horsepower to 156 horsepower, and the peak torque jumps from 143 N·m to 230 N·m. The high-energy version is also divided into four versions, including high-energy No. 1, 2, 3 and 5. The transmissions are all simulated 9-speed CVT continuously variable transmissions, while the regular version has both CVT and manual transmissions.
Another difference worthy of attention is that the high-energy version uses mouse-type electronic shifting, which significantly improves the sense of refinement and luxury. Touch it with your hands, step on it with your feet, put it into gear, and give it gas. In short, you want it to be easy to drive. Taking into account the price of 89,900-105,900 (a discount of 10,000 for the first 10,000 car owners), especially when I saw that competing products such as Geely Binyue Pro and Changan CS35 Plus also have good horsepower parameters, I was initially disappointed with Tiggo. The 5x high-energy version does not have high hopes, but the power performance of the Tiggo 5x high-energy version is really surprising.
The surprise is not how powerful it is, but that with the cooperation of the CVT continuously variable transmission, the power output is very smooth. As long as you don’t step on the accelerator deeply, this car can bring you daily driving It's so comfortable and enjoyable that it's almost hard to notice the frustration. Of course, if you occasionally need to use the throttle to overtake, its response will not disappoint you.
Part of the test drive of the Tiggo 5x High-Energy Edition was on a winding mountain road. Steep slopes and sharp bends are common road conditions. The power system of the Tiggo 5x High-Energy Edition also seemed relatively relaxed; although its steering is not very precise, it can handle The performance in sharp turns will still give the driver enough confidence. In terms of suspension, this car uses a front MacPherson/rear torsion beam structure. The overall feeling is a bit stiff, and it has no problem with the common small and fine roads in daily life. But when encountering large potholes or passing speed bumps at low speeds, the bounce is slightly larger.
In terms of driving, the new car is also equipped with EPB intelligent electronic handbrake, AutoHold automatic parking, HHC hill start assist and HDC steep hill descent, and the configuration is a leapfrog. Let me mention the other two data: the Tiggo 5x high-energy version accelerates to 100 kilometers in 9.5 seconds, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.8 liters. In short, in terms of "driving", the Tiggo 5x High-Energy Edition is fully worthy of the "good" evaluation.
The configuration is very high, smart and lovable
The configuration of independent brands is often very high. This is a fact that many people know. But the Tiggo 5x High-Energy Edition is actually equipped with L2-level intelligent driving assistance systems, which really makes people feel that the high-end is outrageous. FCW forward collision warning system, AEB active braking assist system, ACC adaptive cruise system, LDW lane departure warning system, SLA speed limit sign detection and active reminder system, IHC intelligent high and low beam control system, these can be sold for 20 or 30 yuan The technological desserts that are used as selling points in 10,000-level models are all available in the Tiggo 5x High-Energy Edition.
Since the test drive time was relatively short and it was in a mountainous area, I mainly wanted to experience the power and chassis performance of the Tiggo 5x high-energy version, so I did not experience the intelligent driving assistance system in depth, but the LDW lane departure warning The system was always working during the test drive. When I changed lanes or accidentally pressed the line, the system would be very sensitive to remind me through sounds and images on the instrument, which was very reassuring. This is actually about the driving function, but I think it is more about smartness.
The Tiggo 5x High-Energy Edition uses a 7-inch electronic instrument panel and a 10.25-inch central control screen, with no problems with clarity and smoothness. The new car has a 360-degree panoramic image function. When one side turn signal is turned on, the system will intuitively display surrounding information on the central control screen, which is easy to use and practical. In addition to looking, it can also be said that the AI ??voice system is very smart. It can identify the position of the front passenger and driver.
For example, when I sit in the passenger seat and say "Hello, Xiaohu, open the window," it will immediately open only the passenger side window, which is a very user-friendly function.
As for the door opening, Tiggo 5x High-Energy Edition supports keyless entry and vehicle starting, as well as more fashionable mobile phone unlocking. Through your mobile phone, you can even control the opening and closing of the vehicle's doors, engine, air conditioner, doors, etc. through facial recognition. However, the physical key may also attract you. It is very exquisitely designed, like an expensive lighter, with a suitable size and a high-end feel.
This little fat guy is good-looking and exquisite
In terms of design, the high-energy version is different from the regular version, only in the embellishments of details, such as the lower front fender and the sides of the high-energy version. The side skirts use a more sporty red trim, and the stitching in the interior is also replaced with red. Everything else is basically the same.
The length, width and height of Tiggo 5x are 4358, 1830 and 1670 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2630 mm. The three dimensions and wheelbase are larger than those of Geely Binyue Pro and Changan CS35 Plus, and the space performance is better. More excellent.
But you may think that the appearance of Tiggo 5x is not very long, because the side of the car is not that streamlined design, and the shapes of the front and rear of the car are also very full, so the overall feeling is like He is a little fat man. This little fat guy is quite good-looking, and he is a delicate little fat guy. The grille, light groups, front and rear fenders, D-pillars and other details are quite exquisite. Even the originally hidden exhaust is shiny. bright. In addition, compared with previous Chery models, Tiggo 5x uses an alphabetical tail logo for the first time.
When entering the cockpit, piano-painted panels and various chrome-plated decorations come into view. The sense of refinement is stronger than the appearance, and from my actual experience, the texture of the knobs and buttons in the car is very good. Great, it doesn’t look like a car costing around 100,000 yuan at all. Maybe you have the same question as me, whether the area on the right side of the handlebar is a wireless charging pad. In fact, it is not, but it is indeed a suitable place to put a mobile phone.
The final summary can be summarized in one sentence: easy to drive and smart are the key points, but the Tiggo 5x High-Energy Edition is also good-looking and refined.
