Chery Tiggo Grand Tour

Upon entering the Chery Tiggo Grand Tour, you are greeted by loads of room and soft-touch surfaces. Its premium synthetic leather seats offer top-notch comfort and ergonomics for all passengers even on longer trips. Its first and second rows are spacious. However, its third row is more ideal for children or smaller passengers in general. On the bright side, you get an expansive trunk space at the back when you fold the third-row seats. 

Moreover, its cockpit looks very premium for this MPV’s price point. Drivers are given a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a tilt and telescopic leather steering wheel with multiple controls. 

Its dashboard offers a good balance of modernity and traditional elements. Upfront, you are greeted by a 10.25-inch HD infotainment display that offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Underneath this display are well-placed physical buttons for the car’s interior features. And, to enhance the overall feel inside the cabin, the Tiggo Grand Tour offers a panoramic sunroof and a multi-coloured ambient lighting system.

The Chery Tiggo Grand Tour doesn’t look like the usual MPV. It actually looks more like an SUV with all of its muscular curves and rugged-looking finishes. It has a bold-looking facade, accentuated by an ‘Infinity Mesh’ grille and modern-looking LED projector headlights. A black lower grille adds more depth to its front end. 

On the sides, it features a sporty two-toned silhouette, enhanced by muscular fenders and sleek curves. This MPV runs on an elegant-looking set of 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels. Meanwhile, at the back, its rear design, which is illuminated by clear LED taillight lenses, slightly resembles some classic European models. A pair of faux exhaust pipes also adds a sporty touch to this MPV’s overall appearance. And, you also get a power tailgate for a more convenient loading and unloading of cargo. 

In terms of dimensions, the Chery Tiggo Grand Tour measures 4,320 mm in length, 1,820 mm in width, and 1,590 mm in height. This MPV also has a wheelbase of 2,630 mm and a ground clearance of 212 mm.

The Chery Tiggo Grand Tour comes with a MacPherson Strut at the front, while a Torsion Beam at the rear. Thanks to this setup, you’ll be able to enjoy this MPV’s agile handling when passing through tight traffic or narrow streets inside the city. And, even with a full load, the Tiggo Grand Tour delivers impressive stability and control at high speeds. Overall, this MPV can deliver a supple and very pleasant riding experience for all passengers.

Powering the Chery Tiggo Grand Tour is a 1.5L 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine that has a maximum power output of 146 hp and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. Its engine is mated to a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission system. 

That said, the Tiggo Grand Tour is a respectable cruiser on the highway. It has a plenty of power and torque on tap, which allows it to confidently take on steep inclines and run at high speeds despite being fully-loaded. In the city, it offers good fuel economy even when driving in mixed conditions. 

In terms of safety, the Chery Tiggo Grand Tour is equipped with a 360-degree reverse camera, four SRS airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system. This MPV utilizes ventilated discs for front braking, while drums for the rear.

In my opinion, the Chery Tiggo Grand Tour is among the current 7-seater MPVs that offer the highest value for money. It hits a sweet spot for family men and women who value comfort and practicality and, at the same time, would like to have an enjoyable driving experience in their free time.
