The cheapest Chery crossover changed its image after restyling, and suddenly not in China

However, the transformed SUV should also reach the home market, only later. There, the model will retain the «aspirated», but the export version was sent a turbo engine.

In the photo of the Chinese Ministry of Industry, the updated Chery entry-level crossover was revealed back in March, but, interestingly, this “five-door” officially debuted not at home, but in Mexico, where the original model was not sold at all. By the way, in the Mexican market, the brand bears the name Chirey, which is dissonant for Russians. The compact SUV is presented there as Tiggo 2 Pro (a similar name is used for the export pre-reform model), in the Celestial Empire the current cross is known as Tiggo 3x Plus. Well, let us remind you that this is already the second restyling for the compact, which has been produced since 2016 (the first upgrade was carried out in 2020). » />Restyled Chery Tiggo 2 Pro

They tried to give the cross a more solid appearance: Chery Tiggo 2 Pro got a new grille and other running lights (they are still on top, but the diode sections are now staggered), a larger spoiler was installed on the tailgate, and the taillights were made in the form a single plate. The Mexican SUV has 16- or 17-inch wheels (in China, the pre-reform model has 15-inch wheels in the base). The dimensions are the same: length — 4200 mm, width — 1760 mm, height — 1570 mm, wheelbase — 2555 mm.

Mexicans will be offered a crossover with a 1.0 petrol “turbo engine”, which produces 101 hp. and 149 Nm and is paired with a CVT. The current Chery Tiggo 3x Plus in China does not have such a motor: there, judging by the documents of the local certification authority, the SUV will be available with the former atmospheric “four” 1.5 (116 hp, 143 Nm), the current cross at home, in addition to CVT, is also five-speed «mechanics». The drive is in any case only front.
