Chery Tiggo Cross vs Toyota Yaris Cross
Verdict
The Chery Tiggo Cross costs RM88,800 against the Toyota Yaris Cross at RM99,900, so the RM11,100 gap is not small in this class. Chery gives you much stronger numbers: 145 hp and 210 Nm versus 105 hp and 138 Nm, plus a larger 51-litre tank and seven-year warranty. Toyota answers with the more useful boot, 471 litres against 380 litres, and a slightly longer 2,620 mm wheelbase. It is power and warranty against cargo space.
Pick the Chery Tiggo Cross if you want the stronger petrol SUV on paper, with 145 hp, 210 Nm, AEB and a seven-year warranty.
Pick the Toyota Yaris Cross if boot space matters more, because its 471-litre cargo area is well ahead of the Chery’s 380 litres.
