The Chery Tiggo 5x is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery under the Tiggo crossover product series. In China, the model also spawned an electric variant called the Chery Tiggo e, and shared the platform with the later introduced Cowin Showjet in 2019. In export markets, the vehicle is also marketed as the Chery Tiggo 4 and Chery Tiggo 3.
The Chery Tiggo 5x is the production version of the 2014 Chery Concept Beta concept car.[2]
The production model Chery Tiggo 5x was launched on the Chinese car market in the second half of 2017, positioned between the subcompact Chery Tiggo 3x and the compact Chery Tiggo 3. Much like the marketing position of the Tiggo 3x, the Tiggo 5x is the sportier version of the Tiggo 5 despite being a completely different model.[3] [4]
In China, the Tiggo 5x was sold with a single engine option, a 1.5-litre inline-4 engine.[5]
An electric variant called the Tiggo e was also offered in China equipped with a 53.6 kWh battery and delivering a range of 401 km / 251 miles (NEDC), with the Tiggo e drivetrain producing 95 kW (127 hp) of power, and 250 N.m / 184 lb.ft of torque. The top speed of the 2019 Chery Tiggo e is 160 km/h / 100 mph, with 0 to 50 km/h acceleration in 3.9 seconds.[6]
A facelift was launched in 2019 featuring revised front and rear end designs with the front end sharing the same family front fascia with the Chery Tiggo 8.[7]
Another facelift was launched in 2020 featuring a further updated front fascia inline with the second generation Tiggo 7.
At the 2024 Chery International Business Conference in Wuhu, Anhui, China in April 2024, Chery showcased an updated version of the export market Tiggo 4 with a redesigned front and rear fascia, along with a new C-pillar decoration.[8]
