The Chery Tiggo Cross CSH means business. Picture: Mark Jones The Chery Tiggo Cross SUV arrived towards the end of 2024 without too much hype. Slotting in between the Tiggo 4 Pro and Tiggo 7 Pro, the Cross didn’t offer anything new in terms of power.
And they made no secret that they are going straight for the jugular of South Africa’s top-selling new energy vehicle, the Toyota Corolla Cross HEV. It not only undercuts the Corolla Cross in terms of price, but also knocks it out of the park performance-wise. The Chery’s 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine combined with a battery pack and electric motor produces 150kW of power and 310Nm of torque.
This is a power bump of 42kW/110Nm from the non-hybrid 108kW/200Nm Tiggo Cross. The Toyota Corolla Cross’self-charging hybrid powertrainproduces a combined output of 90kW and 142Nm and is hooked up to CVT. The Chery Tiggo Cross CSH uses a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission.
