The Chery Tiggo 5x (Chinese:奇瑞瑞虎5x; pinyin:Qíruì Ruìhǔ 5x) is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery under the Tiggo crossover product series. In China, the model also spawned an electric variant called the Chery Tiggo e, and shared the platform with the later introduced Cowin Showjet in 2019. In export markets, the vehicle is also marketed as the Chery Tiggo 4 and Chery Tiggo 3.
The Chery Tiggo 5x is the production version of the 2014 Chery Concept Beta concept car.[3]
The production model Chery Tiggo 5x was launched on the Chinese car market in the second half of 2017, positioned between the subcompact Chery Tiggo 3x and the compact Chery Tiggo 3. Much like the marketing position of the Tiggo 3x, the Tiggo 5x is the sportier version of the Tiggo 5 despite being a completely different model.[4][5]
In China, the Tiggo 5x was sold with a single engine option, a 1.5-litre inline-4 engine.[6]
An electric variant called the Tiggo e was also offered in China equipped with a 53.6 kWh battery and delivering a range of 401km / 251 miles (NEDC), with the Tiggo e drivetrain producing 95kW ( 127hp ) of power, and 250 N.m / 184lb.ft of torque. The top speed of the 2019 Chery Tiggo e is 160km/h / 100mph, with 0 to 50km/h acceleration in 3.9 seconds.[7]
