Tiggo Cross in 2026 — what's new

In 2026, the Tiggo Cross range consists of the Turbo and Hybrid, both assembled in Malaysia after CKD production began in 2025. The latest Malaysian update is signposted around a possible new face. The Turbo uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine and wet dual-clutch automatic, while the Hybrid pairs petrol-hybrid power with an eCVT; both are front-wheel-drive five-seaters.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the Turbo at RM88,800. Its 145 hp 1.5-litre petrol engine, front-wheel drive and wet dual-clutch automatic keep entry cost RM11,000 below the Hybrid. Pay RM99,800 for the Hybrid if its 295 hp petrol-hybrid system and eCVT matter more than the saving. The variants differ fundamentally in powertrain, rather than simply trim, so arrange drives in both before deciding.

Verdict

The Tiggo Cross brings useful B-SUV proportions: 4,318 mm in length, 1,830 mm in width and a 2,610 mm wheelbase. It is shorter but wider than the Proton X50, and its wheelbase is 10 mm longer. The Turbo undercuts the X50 by RM1,000, but costs more than the Ativa and Aruz. The Hybrid also sits above the WR-V and Seres 3 on listed price.
