Chery Tiggo Cross vs Nissan NV200
Verdict
The Chery Tiggo Cross costs RM88,800 against the Nissan NV200’s RM79,800, and the RM9,000 gap buys a very different brief: five seats, 145 hp, 210 Nm, a wet dual-clutch automatic, six airbags and AEB. The NV200 is the work tool here, with only two seats but a huge 4,200-litre cargo area, 55-litre tank and a stated 7.1 L/100 km. Both are petrol, front-wheel drive and pay RM120 road tax, but they serve different Malaysian buyers.
Pick the Chery Tiggo Cross if you need a B-segment SUV with five seats, more power, an automatic gearbox and stronger listed safety kit.
Pick the Nissan NV200 if cargo volume matters more than passenger seats and you are happy with a manual commercial van.
