The Chery Tiggo Cross is the most affordable product offered by the company in Malaysia yet.
Chery Malaysia has officially launched the Tiggo Cross, a new entry-level SUV poised to shake up the local B-segment crossover market after previewing the car at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025. Revealed at an event in Kuala Lumpur today, the Tiggo Cross arrives in two variants — a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol model and a 1.5-litre Super Hybrid version — with both being locally assembled at Inokom’s Kulim plant.
Compact Dimensions, Big Ambitions
Slotting below the Omoda 5 in size, the Tiggo Cross is a modern evolution of the Tiggo 4, featuring a thoroughly updated exterior and interior. Measuring 4,318 mm long with a 2,610 mm wheelbase, it goes head-to-head with the Proton X50, Perodua Ativa, and Honda WR-V. A bold grille, slim LED headlamps, full-width taillights, and a reworked cabin mark the 2024 facelift as a major leap forward in design.
Turbo and Hybrid Powertrains
The 1.5T variant is powered by a 147 PS / 210 Nm four-cylinder turbo engine paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. This setup promises a 0-100 km/h time of 10.3 seconds and fuel economy rated at 6.3L/100km.
The 1.5 Super Hybrid drops the turbocharger but adds two electric motors integrated into a Direct Hybrid Transmission (DHT150). While the petrol engine alone makes 96 PS and 120 Nm, the electric motors contribute an additional 204 PS and 310 Nm, yielding impressive responsiveness and a claimed fuel economy of 5.4L/100km. It’s also quicker off the line, hitting 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds.
The hybrid features a 1.8-kWh LFP battery stored under the boot floor, offering up to 1,000 km of total range. Both variants are front-wheel drive with 51-litre fuel tanks.
Equipment and Safety Features
Standard equipment includes full-LED automatic lighting, rain-sensing wipers, faux leather seats, ambient lighting, a powered driver seat, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 15W wireless charging, and a 540-degree camera system.
The turbo variant rides on 18-inch wheels, gets six airbags, and includes core ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking.
The hybrid variant adds a seventh airbag, 17-inch wheels, gloss-finished steering buttons, and a more extensive ADAS suite, including traffic jam assist, emergency lane keeping, and rear cross traffic braking.
Pricing and Availability
Both the turbo and hybrid Tiggo Cross are CKD units, enabling highly competitive pricing. The Tiggo Cross Turbo is priced at RM88,800, while the Tiggo Cross Hybrid comes in at RM99,800 — making it the most affordable hybrid SUV in Malaysia today.
