Chery tiggo all-wheel drive specifications. Reviews of Chery Tigo owners: development of the best qualities of a crossover

Four-wheel drive can come in handy at any time of the year. In winter, ice and snow drifts lie in wait for motorists, in the warm season - autumn and spring mudslides, showers, and sometimes you really want to make a trip to nature. Chery Tiggo- an all-wheel drive option for those who are looking for a crossover affordable price. Prot technical characteristics Chery Tiggo will talk below.

The ground clearance of this car is more than 200 mm, therefore, given the fairly short overhangs, the model is able to adequately cope with off-road. In terms of cost - 104,500 hryvnia - Chery Tiggo 2.4 4x4 looks very attractive. It remains to be seen how the tempting offer of the manufacturers corresponds to all the declared parameters in practice.

By the way, there are already a lot of cars of this brand on the roads of Ukraine. Most of them, of course, are front-wheel drive, the first release. But the developers decided to leave the exterior of the novelty unchanged - this is still the same twin brother of the penultimate generation Toyota RAV4.

In the Chery Tiggo salon, you understand why the model is considered a budget one. Inexpensive very hard plastic dashboard, different-sized gaps, talking about low quality assembly, poor sound insulation - the Chinese, without hesitation, saved on all this. But they did not stint on power windows for all four doors of Sheri Tigo, central locking, two-stage heated front seats and air conditioning. There is enough space in the cabin even for tall passengers, and to increase the volume of the luggage compartment, the rear seats can be moved forward or completely dismantled by simple manipulations. In the standard configuration, the trunk height is 57 cm, and not 70, as in most cars. But this is quite enough for the daily operation of the crossover and trips to the country on the weekend. It is very pleasant that the authorities were very responsive. The pedals are sensitive to the movements of the driver, gently dosing braking and acceleration, and the gearbox pleases with clear shifts.

Of course, if you wish, you can find flaws in any car. The design of the car is no exception, as it were, off-road, but due to the lack of a lower row, the motor lacks traction for low revs to go off-road. But, having started moving, Tiggo (and this is a diminutive derivative of “tiger”) works hard with all four paws - having felt a slip, the viscous coupling redistributes part of the torque to rear wheels. Small dirt and quick obstacles the car passes with pioneering enthusiasm. That's just the problem with touching. The 130-horsepower engine requires gas, and you need to start carefully so as not to overheat the clutch. It is clear that a lowering row would come in handy. But this, on the one hand, will make the structure heavier, and on the other hand, it will lead to an increase in the cost of the model and its automatic “departure” from a number of budget SUVs. The way out is a shorter first gear. But the creators of the model for some reason did not think of this before.

It would be naive to expect from Chery Tigo the technical characteristics of premium SUVs and expensive trim or a myriad of electronic systems facilitating management. But the car is worth the money. The driving experience remains very positive. Let it go four-wheel drive Chinese crossover is more suitable for slippery city streets than for real harsh off-road. The car has an ideal price / quality ratio and will come in handy in many middle-income families.

Specifications Chery Tiggo

Tiggo T11 compact crossover Chery automobile co. Ltd. in just two and a half years of sales on the Russian market, it has become one of the most popular Chinese models of this class. However, the assembly of the Tiggo T11 from SKD kits, deployed since 2006 at the Avtotor Kaliningrad enterprise, was curtailed in early 2008 for economic reasons (and by no means due to a drop in demand for Chery cars) and, most likely, in the near future will be resumed at another domestic enterprise using advanced CKD technology. But recently, for example, the Italian company DR Motor from Naples, which offers Italian Chinese crossover in the European market under the original name DR5. Design compact crossover Tiggo was created directly at the Chery design bureau with the participation of Lotus Engineering and Mitsubishi Automotive Engineering, however, the features of the “donors” of the Toyota RAV4 II and Honda CR-V appear too clearly. load-bearing body spacious enough. The front suspension with front McPherson struts on wishbones and semi-independent torsion bar rear are reinforced. The basic version of the Tiggo is front-wheel drive, but there is also an all-wheel drive version with an electric center clutch. Brakes of all wheels disk with ABS. Equip Tiggo T11 with licensed Mitsubishi engines: 2.0-liter 4G63 with 125 hp or a 2.4-liter 4G64 with 129 hp. with a manual 5-speed gearbox or "automatic" (optional). All Chery models for the Russian market are tested for starting the engine in winter conditions (up to -35 ° C).

The interior of the Tiggo T11 (especially the instrument panel) also definitely looks like the "original" RAV4, but the quality of materials and finishes is clearly not up to the original, although decent enough for its price category. The driver's seat, despite the possibility of adjusting the seat height for long trips, is not very comfortable. But both rear seats that make up backseat(50:50), you can not only move longitudinally and fold separately, but also remove it from the passenger compartment, which greatly facilitates the transportation of bulky items and, perhaps, the most practical (even in comparison with more eminent classmates). Tiggo equipment for the Russian market includes a height-adjustable power steering steering column, multifunctional steering wheel, frontal airbags for the driver and passenger, power windows and mirrors, heated mirrors, front built-in cup holders, front seat armrest, ignition lock illumination, velor interior, heated seats, air conditioning, central locking with remote control, radio with MP3, electric headlight corrector, fog lights, ABS, roof rails, alloy wheels and a spare cover. For a surcharge, a 6-disc changer and an electric sunroof are offered, and for version 2.4 Luxury - side moldings. Warranty for all models -3 years or 100 thousand kilometers.

The updated Chinese compact crossover Chery Tigo was presented at the Beijing Motor Show this spring. The car immediately fell in love with the general public, since it could potentially replace not very successful SUV modifications on the market. The model range of the concern was replenished with another vehicle, which is planned to be sold in Russia and Europe. The car will go to the domestic market for almost a year, but for the sake of this SUV you can wait. In terms of the ratio of price and build quality, it will be quite difficult to find a worthy alternative to it. Gone are the days when everything made in China was considered unreliable. Asian cars are becoming more and more established in the world market.

Prices and configuration Chery Tigo

Accurate cost data updated crossover was not there yet. Rather, the company's management has already approved prices only for the Chinese market. At the same time, Tigo will have to pay 74,000 yuan for the basic equipment. For that kind of money, buyers will get quite a decent range of options, a beautifully finished interior and a good engine, suitable for driving not only in the city, but also in rough terrain.

The maximum cost of SUV in China will reach 96 thousand yuan. We are talking about the Luxury version with an innovative CVT, leather upholstery and a medium power unit. Translated into rubles, the price fork of the model ranges from 410 to 540 thousand. Accordingly, the car can be safely called a budget.

A bit of history

Has a lot of advantages. See our material about the pros and cons of this crossover.

The world premiere of this SUV took place in 2005. The original version was pretty raw. Motorists found a sea of ​​​​deficiencies in the operation of various systems, so the concern had to eliminate them as quickly as possible. The model was not particularly popular, but due to the low price, a steady increase in sales was observed.

It is noteworthy that the company's management immediately focused on Russian market. In addition to the main plant in Wuhu, the crossover also began to be produced back in 2006 in Kaliningrad. Two years later, however, it was necessary to transfer production to Taganrog, the trend did not change from this.

Today, the SUV is exported to more than 35 countries around the world. Of course, in comparison with the world leaders in the auto industry, this figure does not seem so solid, but for a Chinese car, the figure is quite satisfactory. The assembly of the SUV is also established in Egypt and Istanbul. According to experts, Tigo's appearance was largely copied from the Toyota RAV4. The designers did not deny such a statement. However, they refrained from commenting at all, so it will not be possible to draw final conclusions.

Modifications

The model has not existed for so long, but the fans of the line have already managed to survive two generations and many modifications of the crossover. Some versions have become completely independent cars, although it all started with the first generation of Chery Tigo, released back in 2006.

One of the most popular Chinese SUVs in the domestic market can be called Chery Tiggo FL. This is one of the modifications of the classic SUV, which has been sold as a separate model for several years now. Differences from the progenitor of this machine are in the range of engines offered, interior trim, exterior and technical specifications. The FL version is considered to be lighter. She has less curb weight, and dimensions too.

Chery Tiggo 3 can be singled out separately. The car demonstrates decent driving dynamics and good performance characteristics. It came from the standard version of Tigo. The updated model was introduced in 2011 in Shanghai. Then experts predicted world fame for the SUV, however, as practice has shown, things went a little worse.

Another modification can be called Chery Tigo 5. The vehicle has a factory code T21, which indicates its independence. However, just like the FL, this crossover started with the classic Tiggo. From model range Chinese SUV, this SUV can be safely called one of the most successful, but also expensive.

To finish this car, the developers did not skimp. The materials were selected exclusively high quality. Even outwardly, the car looks more like a representative of the Japanese car industry than a Chinese. Performance indicators also characterize the model only on the positive side.

Cherie Tigo's classmates

Among the direct competitors of the crossover can be identified Hyundai Tucson, Chevrolet Niva, Hyundai ix35, Renault Duster, Lifan X60, Geely Emgrand x7, Skoda Yeti and other budget category vehicles. It is quite difficult to compare a car with classmates, because it has a certain specificity. For most Tiggo buyers, the price of an SUV was the main factor in their choice. The limited budget makes it impossible to purchase a high-end car, so people have to look closely at Chinese models.

It is worth saying that the advantages of the SUV in comparison with competitors are generally good units, a supple gearbox and a roomy trunk. Do not forget about the beautiful appearance, copied from the Toyota Rav 4. In fact, it was the design that became one of Tigo's trump cards. It is difficult to find beautiful cars in the class of budget cars, and this crossover has a quite decent exterior. Among the shortcomings, it is worth highlighting poor sound insulation, the fragility of most parts, poor wear resistance of components and a poorly debugged brake system.

Appearance of the car

From the front, the model looks nice and reliable. A large hood hangs roughly over a massive bumper. It acts as a collective element of the entire frontal part of the body. The domes of overall lighting equipment have a classic shape. They taper slightly towards the roof pillars. Headlights cope with their intended purpose. The radiator grille is small. However, thermoregulation does not suffer because of this, which means that there is no need to change anything. The air intake, on the contrary, occupies a huge space near the bottom edge. Next to it are no less large wells for fog lights. Running lights are not particularly noticeable. In general, the shapes are sloping and rounded. Stiffeners can be traced only on the sides of the hood.

When examining the sidewalls, the resemblance to a Japanese SUV no longer seems so obvious. The wheel arches do not particularly protrude to the sides, but they have a completely dimensional slot. The disks in them are installed small. Because of this, the overall image of the SUV is slightly spoiled. It could also be used big wheels. The front roof pillars are decently littered. The subwindow level is almost the same everywhere. It is not particularly high, which means that visibility from the cabin should be good. There are no stampings on the doorways, but a long metal insert is traced closer to the bottom. It is needed exclusively for car decoration. Door handles are comfortable and sturdy. Rear-view mirrors are planted on strong legs. Small roof rails are visible on the roof.

Feed is not the most original and attractive, but overall practical and comfortable. First of all, this concerns a large door. luggage compartment, which occupies almost the entire space of the rear of the case. The roof ends with a small spoiler as standard. Without it, crossover handling would not be very good. Dimensional lighting equipment is represented by standard shades and auxiliary running lights. The spare wheel is placed directly on the sash plane. License plates are planted in a small stamping. Pipe exhaust system protected by a plastic rim. In general, the appearance of Cherie Tigo is quite satisfactory. Especially for your money.

Salon Chery Tigo

The interior of the crossover has not changed much after the planned restyling. Of the novelties, a 6.5-inch screen can be distinguished, which is available in a luxury configuration. The salon is designed for five people. As is often the case, the passenger sitting in the center will not be very comfortable on the second-row sofa. There are no such problems in the front. The lateral support of the seats is soft, but in sharp turns saves. Seat upholstery is not very good quality. It wears off fairly quickly. The situation is similar with hard plastics. Ergonomics specialists have made great efforts to make the cabin as comfortable as possible, but still some complaints about it remain.

Trunk volume is 520 liters. For a compact SUV, this is not even very bad. The layout of the second row seat increases capacity by 2.5 times. The resulting flat platform is suitable for placing any load on it.

Technology

The initial equipment cannot boast of anything luxurious. It includes a simple radio, air conditioning, parking sensors, a remote control on the steering wheel and a minimum set of security, consisting of two airbags and belts. The Luxury version is much more interesting in terms of the range of options. It boasts a quite decent multimedia system, navigator, 6.5-inch screen, climate control, adjustable steering column, heated driver and front passenger seats, rear-view mirrors, front and rear power windows. Do not forget about ABS, EBD, EBV, EBFD, central locking and many other useful features.

In this configuration, Tigo seems to be quite a decent vehicle. Unfortunately, not all systems are well debugged, so there are failures in their work.

Specifications Chery Tigo

The model offers a wide range of petrol and diesel engines, but in the domestic market it is seriously curtailed. The most common are three options. These are 1.6, 1.8 and 2.4 liter petrol engines. Their capacities are 119, 130 and 132 hp. They are great for city driving. Rough off-road conditions can pose some challenges for this SUV.

As a gearbox, a choice of 5 manual transmissions or 4 automatic transmissions with a variator is offered. Both transmission options are not ideal. Fuel consumption is about 8-10 liters per hundred in a combined cycle of operation. Consumption up to a hundred is carried out in 11.2 seconds. Meaning top speed does not exceed 170-185 km/h.
