Chery Tiggo Cross T17

Overview

The Chery Tiggo Cross is a five-seat B-segment SUV offered in Malaysia with petrol and petrol-hybrid powertrains. Priced from RM88,800, it suits buyers looking at a Proton X50 or Honda WR-V-sized budget but wanting a choice between a 1.5 turbo with DCT and a hybrid/REV with eCVT.

Tiggo Cross in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the Tiggo Cross carries on with the Malaysian range launched in 2025: Turbo and Hybrid. There is no 2026 model-year mechanical update. The year’s activity is promotional, including Chery Malaysia 3rd Anniversary Mega Rewards with Tiggo Cross from RM81k, and a customer campaign in which a Tiggo Cross Hybrid was given away.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the Turbo at RM88,800. It gets the 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine, 145 hp and a wet dual-clutch automatic, and it costs RM11,000 less than the Hybrid. Pay RM99,800 for the Hybrid only if you specifically want the petrol hybrid/REV powertrain and eCVT. Its petrol engine is rated at 94 hp, so the extra money is about the different drivetrain, not a higher engine output. With no clear equipment gap, check the final kit list before signing.

Verdict

The Tiggo Cross is not the cheap end of the B-segment SUV field: the Perodua Ativa, Aruz and Traz all cost less to enter. Against the Proton X50 and Honda WR-V, the Turbo is slightly cheaper at list price. The Hybrid gives Chery a sub-RM100k petrol-hybrid/REV option, and the model’s 1,000 bookings in two days show early Malaysian interest. Perodua money buys a cheaper SUV; Tiggo Cross money buys the powertrain choice.
