Chery Tiggo 5x—A Chinese car’sMarvel!

In this article, YL Automobile will introduce the history of the Chinese car Chery Tiggo 5x .

The Tiggo 5x is a compact SUV under Chery Automobile, known for its "high cost-effectiveness and appeal to the new generation." Its direct competitors include Japanese models such as the Nissan Qashqai and Honda HR-V. With a lower price point than its rivals, it also delivers a satisfying driving experience. Since its launch in 2017, the Tiggo 5x has achieved impressive sales thanks to its stylish design, affordable pricing, well-equipped features, and continuously improving technology.

Although the Tiggo 5x has not undergone a full model change since its debut in 2017, it has received five facelifts and upgrades. Below, we outline some of the key improvements from each update:

In June 2019, the Tiggo 5x Hero edition was launched. This model not only met the China VI emission standards but also received significant configuration upgrades. Additionally, its price was reduced by 6,000 yuan, making it even more cost-effective in that year’s market.

In 2020, the new Tiggo 5x underwent another major upgrade. The exterior and interior were completely redesigned, featuring Chery’s latest "Life In Motion 3.0" family-style front fascia design language. A larger hexagonal mesh grille gave the front a more refined and premium look. Inside, a triple-screen setup was introduced, combining a 7-inch full LCD instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch central control screen, and an 8-inch air conditioning touchscreen, significantly enhancing the sense of technology and luxury to match higher-end models. The powertrain was also upgraded with a simulated 9-speed CVT transmission.

In August 2022, the Tiggo 5x PLUS was launched. This model featured subtle adjustments to the exterior and interior details, such as a mesh-style chrome grille. The interior was upgraded with a new design, and some variants were equipped with a floating dual-screen setup, elevating the cabin’s tech atmosphere.

In April 2023, the 2023 Tiggo 5x was released. This model further strengthened its identity as a "global vehicle." The exterior was redesigned with dual front fascia options and new body colors, while the interior adopted trendy color schemes like beige and blue, enhancing its youthful and fashionable appeal. Configurations were also upgraded, aiming to make high-end features a standard advantage. For instance, some variants were equipped with a 20.5-inch smart dual-screen and the Lion智云 interactive system. The powertrain was improved as well, debuting Chery’s new-generation 1.5L high-efficiency engine with Miller cycle technology, achieving a thermal efficiency of 40% while prioritizing fuel economy without compromising performance.

In 2025, the currently available model was introduced. 

This update coincided with the Tiggo 5x officially entering the "Million Exports Club," as the one-millionth unit was shipped overseas, making it Chery’s first single model to achieve this milestone. Seizing the moment, Chery launched the Tiggo 5x Excellence Edition, equipped with a 1.5L + 9-speed CVT powertrain and 40% thermal efficiency, further boosting its competitiveness.

Despite its compact SUV positioning, the Tiggo 5x boasts dimensions of 4,358mm * 1,830mm * 1,670mm, providing excellent interior space. It comes standard with features such as keyless entry, keyless start, automatic headlights, a color central control screen, and foldable rear seats, making it a king of cost-effectiveness in the 60,000–80,000 yuan price range.
