Chery Tiggo ReV LE

You’d be surprised to know that the Chery Tiggo ReV’s cabin looks and feels more expensive than its asking price. Upon entering this vehicle, you are greeted by a surprisingly good amount of soft touch materials. Its space black leather seats are plush and very supportive, whether you are stuck in traffic or travelling long distances.

It has a high-tech cockpit that consists of a 10.25-inch TFT instrument display, a heads-up display, a multicontrol electronic power steering wheel, and offers an intelligent voice control feature. You also have access to a wireless phone charger and USB charging ports.

Meanwhile, all passengers can enjoy a 15.6-inch floating touchscreen infotainment display that is equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Bluetooth connectivity, and is linked to a 12-speaker Sony sound system, which delivers high-quality acoustics all around the vehicle. And, for a more premium and relaxing cabin feel, this SUV also comes with a multicolor ambient lighting system and a panoramic sunroof.

The Tiggo ReV is arguably one of the best-looking Chery models in the local lineup. Its elegant front end, which is enhanced by an unventilated diamond accent front grille, sets it apart from its more affordable cousins. This SUV features an assertive glare courtesy of its sharp LED headlights with LED DRLs. 

Its side profile strikes a balance between sportiness and elegance thanks to a combination of chrome elements and blacked-out finishes. Its flush door handles also add a futuristic vibe to its overall silhouette on the road. This SUV gets a classy-looking set of 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels.

Trailing behind this vehicle at night is certainly enjoyable because of its hypermodern through-type LED tail lamps. A pair of faux exhaust tips also add more detail to its rear end. The real, functional exhaust pipes, however, are hidden underneath. It also comes with a power tailgate with a height memory feature. And, for more storage and a more premium look, this SUV gets ornamental roof rails on top.

In terms of dimensions, the Chery Tiggo ReV measures 4,725 mm in length, 2,089 mm in width, and 1,705 mm in height. This plug-in hybrid SUV also has a wheelbase of 2,710 mm and a ground clearance of 200 mm. 

The Chery Tiggo ReV utilizes a suspension combination of a MacPherson Strut at the front and a Multi-Link independent-type at the rear. Thanks to this setup, you and all your passengers will be able to enjoy a supple, luxurious riding experience both in the city and on the highway. It soaks up bumps and other road imperfections quite well. It can also handle quite decently for its size. However, its steering lacks a bit of feedback when hitting sharp turns or corners. But, to be fair, this car is designed to be driven sensibly rather than spiritedly.

The Tiggo ReV runs on Chery’s Plug-in Super Hybrid system that combines a front-mounted electric motor and a 1.5L turbo-charged, in-line 4, DOHC, Miller Cycle engine, generating a combined output of 204 PS and 310 Nm of torque. The setup comes mated to an 18.66 kWh battery pack and delivers a whopping 1,400-km CLTC driving range. This SUV utilizes a front-wheel drivetrain and Chery’s dedicated hybrid transmission system.

This SUV is peppy and smooth off the line, yet remains quiet at high speeds thanks to its cabin’s great NVH suppression system. You’ll be able to effectively overtake slower vehicles on free-flowing highways with this PHEV. 

Aside from this, even when you are driving under mixed conditions in the city, it remains very usable and super efficient. And, thanks to its hybrid range, you’ll be able to carry-out longer-distance trips out of town with this SUV.  

Safety is not an issue for the Chery Tiggo ReV. It is equipped with 14 ADAS functions, 6 SRS airbags, 4 rear parking sensors, a 540-degree panoramic view camera and reverse camera with dynamic guidelines, a tire pressure monitoring system, a vehicle anti-theft system with immobilizer, ISOFIX, and adaptive cruise control. 

This SUV utilizes disc brakes for front and rear braking. Its braking setup is supported by an anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control system, electronic stability program, and a brake assist.

For family men and women as well as young professionals, the Chery Tiggo ReV stands out as a very practical choice for a first hybrid vehicle. It hits a sweet spot for budget-conscious buyers who are desiring for a luxurious riding experience but also value practicality and daily usability more than anything else.
