I don't know if you found that there is no SUV and sedan of the same level in the market pricing has a large gap. For example, the entry price of the Honda CR-V can buy mid-level cars such as Accord, Camry, Passat, And Magotan, and even the configuration will be more abundant. However, because Chinese consumers like SUVs and pursue greater riding space, Haval, Changan, Geely and other car companies are currently selling more SUV models than cars. And today we want to discuss a cost-effective Chery Tiggo 3x, the price range is 499-6.89 million yuan, there are currently 30 models in the 2021 and 2022 models on sale; this issue takes the Chery Tiggo 3x 2021 Diamond Edition 1.5L CVT3 Carat II as an example, the guidance price is 64,900 yuan, see how it can bring consumers.
Appearance section
The appearance of Chery Tiggo 3x continues the design concept of the Tiggo series, the intake grille adopts a hexagonal design, the middle mesh adopts chrome dot matrix elements, and the lamp group adopts a split design, and the daily running lamp is flat and slender, and it is the standard of the whole series. The far and near light is an integrated design, the interior of the lens structure, the same use of LED light source, both the lighting effect and the service life is better than the halogen. On the outside of the headlights, perhaps to highlight the sporty atmosphere, the surface of the black trim has a texture of imitation carbon fiber, and the silver front lip creates a good sports effect.
The Chery Tiggo 3x has a body length of 4200/1760/1570mm and a wheelbase of 2555mm. Compared with the Tiggo 5x, which also positions a small SUV, the Tiggo 3x has a significantly smaller body volume. The waistline rises straight up to connect the tail lights, and the tail D pillar is decorated with black trim panels, visually forming a suspension design effect. The silver luggage rack with the wide rear spoiler, the brake calipers are spray red, the rims are made of aluminum alloy, and the side shape does not show a low effect.
The tail shape has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and more linear lines are used to embellish it, making its visual effect more three-dimensional. The size of the tail lamp is not large, and the left and right sides are symmetrical C-type light strips, which are connected by a black trim strip in the middle, and the recognition is relatively high. The rear fog lamp design is surrounded in the middle of the lower bracket and decorated with silver trim strips to create a double exhaust effect, and the real exhaust is hidden below in the form of a single out.
Interior part
The center console of chery Tiggo 3x features a biased design with a large central control screen and air conditioning control knob facing the driver's side. As an SUV priced at 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, even if it is a domestic car, the interior materials of Chery Tiggo 3x are basically hard plastic, only wrapped in soft materials in easy-to-reach parts, and the surface stitching embellishments are matched with just the right silver trim, which visually does not feel too cheap. In terms of details, the periphery of the central control screen is surrounded by piano paint trim panels, and in the co-pilot and door handles, the hard plastic surface has carbon fiber grain, adding a sense of visual refinement.
The steering wheel adopts three flat bottom shapes, except for the plastic steering wheel without function buttons in the lowest model, the rest of the versions are equipped with multi-function buttons and use leather wrapping, which is quite good to the touch. Of course, the low-end model of the central control screen is optional, the original 9-inch central control screen supports touch screen operation feedback, the resolution of the display and the smoothness of operation need to be improved, the original car system functionality is not rich, but it is good to support Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife mobile phone interconnection function; this configuration is rare at the same price, but also to make up for the lack of car machine functionality.
At the configuration level, practical functions such as tire pressure display, body stabilization system, rear parking radar, and uphill assist are standard in the whole series. The current version also has functions such as reversing image, cruise control, driving mode switching, electric sunroof, keyless start, keyless entry in the driver's seat, and mirror heating; it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it is completely fine to meet daily use.
The rear seating space is not an advantage in the same class, after all, in terms of body size, the Chery Tiggo 3x will be more suitable for female or novice drivers. The 180cm tall experiencer sits in the back seat, the leg and head space are relatively cramped, if it is replaced by a child or a small passenger, the ride space is barely enough. The basic volume of the trunk is 420 liters, which is basically enough for daily travel; if it is necessary to load large luggage, in addition to the rear seats of the entry model, the rear seats of the entry model support the overall reclining, and the low-end model supports the proportion of the reclining, which meets the needs of the loading without affecting the riding.
Mechanical structure
In terms of power, Chery Tiggo 3x is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which is also equipped on the 5x. The engine has a maximum power of 85 kW, a maximum torque of 143 N·m, and a maximum horsepower output of 116 hp, and offers a choice of 5-speed manual and analog 9-speed CVT CVT continuously variable transmissions. As can be seen from the power book parameters, the power performance of Chery Tiggo 3x is completely sufficient for home transportation, and the reason why the powertrain of 1.5T is not equipped is also to consider the price and positioning target of the product. The power combination of self-priming + CVT takes into account good smoothness in daily driving, nedc comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.7 ~ 6.9L / 100km, urban fuel consumption is also considerable.
The suspension section features front McPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. The material is in line with the basis of the product price, the body weight reaches 1.27 tons, and the daily driving will feel the thickness of the chassis, but the comfort is still not as good as the four-wheel independent suspension, fortunately, the floating sense is not felt when cruising at high speed, which can give driving confidence.
Write at the end
From the perspective of product price, Chery Tiggo 3x is more in line with the user group with a small handheld budget, and on the basis of the low asking price, the functional configuration and vehicle system equipped with it can also meet the needs of users. The exterior maintains the fashion and sports that the urban SUV should have, and the space inside the car is not large, but it can meet the needs of a family of four. The small form factor maintains flexibility on congested roads, and reversing is no longer a problem for women or novice drivers. It is understood that at present, there is a preferential margin of thousands of yuan in the terminal market, and the landing price of the top model does not even exceed 80,000 yuan, and the overall cost performance is still relatively outstanding at the same level.
