Test drive Cheri Tiggo (T11) since 2005 -

Chery Tiggo. From 464 900 rubles.

The popular Chinese SUV CHERY TIGGO, which was produced at the Kaliningrad Autotor factory, became different in 2008. How much other, we understand
Those who think that the new Tiggo has changed a lot from the outside, ask you not to worry. As before, this Chinese is very much like the popular Toyota RAV4 2000 release at one time. So many, many, at the sight of him, will assume that you own a rather prestigious car. Those who continue to look for differences, let us inform you that the radiator grille was another in the exterior of the car and the back changed somewhat: a spoiler with a long stop signal appeared on the back door. All.
Move on. The salon did not undergo changes at all and, as before, pleases with a qualitatively cooled surroundings of the same RAV4 and is still upset by poorly distinguishable iconograms on the instrument panel. More or less accessible for perception, they become only at dusk. Well, if the sun comes out, then you can not see anything but shooters on this information field.
But you will draw a lot of new things for yourself, jerking the handle of opening the hood. Firstly, the hood in an upright position now hold gas springs, and secondly, in the engine compartment you will no longer find a 2.4-frail license engine from Mitsubishi. Here, a 1.8-liter, also licensed, 132-horsepower Austrian AVL settled here. Is it not enough for all -wheel drive? No, just right, because the full drive, his main weapon, Tiggo lost, and forever. Do you think this is a competent marketing move? Unfortunately no. This is the illiteracy of a car developers who could not defeat the vibration, from which 80% of all -wheel drive Tiggo suffered.
But now the Chergo Tiggo universal is going smoothly and quickly. And a sufficient (190 mm) road clearance allows you to not think too much before such obstacles where simple station wagons save. But we still do not recommend that we meddle on serious impassability. The maximum that you can yourself allow it on this car is driving along sufficiently rolled country roads. The clearance is clearance, but you should not forget about the lack of full drive. And so, everything is at the level. Now, if the noise insulation of the wheeled arches were more adversely, TigGo would not at all be prices.
