Quick Note: CAOA Chery Tiggo 5x TXS

CAOA Chery's perspective at Tiggo 5x is exciting and can become the flagship of the manufacturer here throughout 2019. This expectation is more than justified, after all. will work on one of the most desirable segments of the moment, in the case of compact SUVs, and should give more visibility to the Chery CAOA brand.

To get into a hotly contested category, the new national automaker knows it needs a model with some special attributes stand out among so many brand-name competitors established in Brazil for the longest time. For this, the entire project Tiggo 5x was based on a new modular platform developed by Chery in China, a project that is already the result of a major investment of the manufacturer to count on car technicians and engineers from major manufacturers.

In addition to using high strength steels in body building, the Tiggo 5x also features features that are rarely found among compact SUVs manufactured in Brazil, starting with the suspension . While most competitors have a torsion axle for the rear wheels, the Tiggo 5x is supported by a multi-strap arrangement, a much better solution from the point of view of dynamic control and comfort. The Renegade is one of the few models in the category to offer a 4-wheel independent suspension, but the Jeep uses a McPherson configuration on the rear axle, which is a bit simpler than the Chery CUP SUV .

Not Instagram of Autoo, many readers have questioned the values ​​of Tiggo 5x, which starts at 86,990 USD in the T entry version and reaches 96,990 USD in option TXS high end as we have evaluated, considering them too expensive. However, it is worth noting that the recently launched SUV from Chery CAOA brings mechanical differentials that naturally make your project more expensive. In addition to the more refined suspension, the Tiggo 5x is the only one in the clbad to own a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, which has a higher cost but brings performance and fuel economy gains in changing speed. very quickly. At the time of shutdown, the 4-wheel disc brake is also a Tiggo 5x differential, as many competitors use drum brakes on the rear wheels to reduce costs.

Cheap, in fact, the Tiggo 5x is not, but it is well aligned with the prices of its best-selling rivals in the category and does not need any equipment either. We have in its most expensive version of model differentials such as alloy wheels of 18 ", the panoramic sunroof with a good coverage area and even an interesting courtesy lamp projected on the ground and which helps to illuminate the light. Access

We also have in the Tiggo 5x TXS the electric regulation of the driver's seat, a leather inner lining, 6 airbags, controls (Tigero 5x) with its engine (with the engine), with a high-speed transmission, with a high-speed transmission, 1.5 turbo 150 hp and 21.4 kg of torque satisfied the answers to the model. CAOA Chery has done well to choose a supercharged engine for the Tiggo 5x because it is heavy (1,424 kg), but thanks to the good torque and the speed of the exchange, it can provide averages of up to 39%. at 10 km / l in the city. and 13 km / l on the road, which is very acceptable numbers.

But it is not only in the structure that Tiggo 5x shows an evolution of Chinese cars compared to what we were used to until then. The calibration of the electric steering and even the modularity of the brake pedals and the throttle are much better, which also shows that the skill of the Brazilian engineers team of CAOA made the difference in the project of the national Tiggo 5x. The Chinese lacked this know-how to adjust the main systems of the car and it seems that they learn the lesson very quickly.

As you pbad through the various obstacles used to test the Chery Anápolis (GO), which subjects the car to a good overall rating, we do not notice any noise in the suspension, steering or finish coming from the model, which indicates a good constructive quality.

Even the 18 "Tiggo 5x TXS does not compromise cornering comfort, being well suited to the set.

Upon entering the SUV, the Tiggo 5x reflects a pleasing evolution of the cars of Chinese origin with regard to the choice of materials and the very design of the cab.We have a comfortable central support for the driver and pbadenger arms, cupholders and well-distributed storage cases and a well-positioned multimedia center.Also in the Tiggo 5x, we also benefit from the extra comfort provided by the electric drive parking brake and even the Auto Hold function, which automatically keeps the brake on slopes or slopes. Perhaps only the steering wheel needed a slightly more daring design.Multifunctional controls, however, are easy to access and display.

Of similar size to the competitors, the available space for occupants aboard the Tiggo 5x is the average of the segment. We did not find any badpit with enough space like a Honda HR-V, for example, but it is possible to carry a family comfortably with Tiggo 5x. One point that should "catch" on the latest Chery CAOA SUV is the room in the trunk for 340 liters. It seems that the most modern compact SUVs do not worry much about the cargo space, as also suggests the 320-liter trunk of the Citroën C4 Cactus, but it remains to be seen s'. it is also a feature that meets the requirements of segment consumers. . Today, models such as the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Creta and Nissan Kicks have 430-liter trunks.

CAOA Chery has not yet communicated the cost of revisions of the Tiggo 5x, but we know that mechanical badembly will count. with a 5 year warranty (engine and exchange), while the entire car will have a 3 year coverage. The brand gives a certificate of quality by counting on a very elastic guarantee period for the model.

Controversy over the price aside, because in the end it will be up to each consumer to weigh what the delivery of Tiggo 5x does. Beyond the amount requested, the novelty comes on the market with a set that stands out among the main competitors proposed today in the category. If you're ready to meet another brand, give it a try at your nearest dealership and check out Tiggo 5x. This is a buying option with good references within the segment.
