Chery Tiggo Cross vs Perodua QV-E
Verdict
The Chery Tiggo Cross costs RM88,800 against the Perodua QV-E’s RM80,000, so the Perodua starts RM8,800 lower and brings the stronger headline numbers: 201 hp, 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, a 52.5 kWh battery and 370 km of range. The Chery answers with petrol convenience, a bigger 380-litre boot, taller SUV proportions and a seven-year warranty. Both are B-segment, five-seat, front-wheel-drive SUVs with six airbags and AEB, so this is a powertrain choice as much as a size-and-price one.
Pick the Chery Tiggo Cross if you want petrol refuelling, the larger 380-litre boot and the longer seven-year warranty.
Pick the Perodua QV-E if you want the cheaper car, 201 hp electric drive and a stated 370 km range.
