Car Profiles - Chery Tiggo

CHERY TIGGO

One of the two remaining Chery vehicles (the other being the QQ3, which received a new face) since its first arrival, the Tiggo is one of the SUVs that can be bought for below a million bucks, brand new. Thankfully the 2.0 engine is the sole option, but ownership experience is a huge question mark.

The Good: Affordability
The Bad: Quality is questionable

Price Range: P945,000
Our Rating: **
