Verdict
The Chery Tiggo Cross is the sensible passenger-car choice despite costing RM9,000 more at RM88,800. Its 145 hp and 210 Nm 1.5-litre turbo beats the Nissan NV200’s 108 hp and 152 Nm, while five seats, six airbags, stability control and autonomous braking suit family use far better. The NV200 is a purpose-built two-seat commercial machine: its 4,200-litre load area dwarfs the Chery’s 380 litres, and it is 248 kg lighter. Choose it only when cargo capacity and the RM79,800 entry price matter more than comfort and safety kit.
Pick the Chery Tiggo Cross if you need a five-seat B-segment SUV with 145 hp, 210 Nm and substantially stronger safety equipment.
Pick the Nissan NV200 if your priority is a two-seat commercial vehicle with a 4,200-litre cargo area for RM9,000 less.
