Chery Tiggo Cross vs Honda City Hatchback
Verdict
At RM88,800 versus RM85,900, the Chery Tiggo Cross asks RM2,900 more but gives SUV packaging: 145 hp/210 Nm against 119 hp/145 Nm, a 380-litre boot against 289 litres, a 51-litre tank and a seven-year warranty. The Honda City Hatchback is the lower, longer car, with a CVT and quoted 10.7-second 0-100 km/h and 195 km/h figures. The Chery has no matching performance times. Both get six airbags and AEB, so this is shove and space versus hatchback format and price.
Pick the Chery Tiggo Cross if you want the stronger 145 hp/210 Nm engine, bigger 380-litre boot and longer seven-year warranty for an extra RM2,900.
Pick the Honda City Hatchback if you prefer the lower hatchback body, RM85,900 price and quoted 10.7-second 0-100 km/h performance.
