The Chery Tiggo is the ride for you this rainy season
As the country is finally in the rainy season, flooded roads are what most motorists go through even with just a bit of a downpour. With a huge chunk of the year in wet season, one of the many considerations car buyers have when buying a new ride is its ground clearance and wading depth. This is one of the reasons why more Filipino car buyers are getting into SUVs or crossovers.
If you are in the market for your new ride looking for a crossover but has a budget for a subcompact car, Chery Auto Philippines might just have what you need.

Featuring stylish, fully equipped, capable, and affordable crossover SUVs, Chery Auto Philippines’ vehicle lineup offers sleek crossovers offering good value.
The most affordable Chery model is the Tiggo 2 with a P695,000 price tag that boasts 186 mm ground clearance. That’s 3-4 inches more than a typical hatchback or small sedan ground clearance. Not only will the extra height allow the vehicle to traverse floodwaters with ease and without the water entering the cabin, but it also enables the engine to sit higher above the water, which in turn makes the vehicle more capable of crossing a flooded stretch without the engine stalling.
The Chery Tiggo’s high ride height and bigger windows also grant better outward vision. Something that can be crucial when driving in heavy rain or fog with limited clarity. This also makes driving on long road trips that much more pleasurable.
The Chery crossover lineup is composed of the subcompact Tiggo 2 and Tiggo 5X, the all-new compact Tiggo 7 Pro, and the midsize 7-seater Tiggo 8. These crossovers boast ground clearances as high as 200mm which are even higher than several of its crossover competition, and almost as high as much bigger SUVs.
Floods also spell trouble for drivers. Aside from the high ground clearance, Chery also designed the Tiggo lineup for crossing higher levels of water with a wading depth measuring up to 600 MM. This safety feature enables the car to safely brave through floods and potholes in the Philippines’ unpredictable roads.
All Tiggo models are made in Chery ’s worldclass state-of-the-art fully robotized plants and feature luxury car amenities like 10-inch UHD touchscreen displays, footsensing automatic power tailgates, automatic LED headlamps, LED taillamps, cruise control, Smart Key Entry System, 6-way power-adjustable seats, LCD instrument panel, panoramic sunroof, leather seats, 18” alloy wheels, and much more.
Chery Auto Philippines offers an industry-leading 10-Year/1 Million-km Powertrain Warranty on top of a 5-Year General Vehicle Warranty and 3-Year Roadside Assistance. And to sweeten the purchase, Chery Auto Philippines is offering a 3-year FREE Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) on all Tiggo models.
Prices for the new models start at P695,000 for the Tiggo 2, P818,000 for the Tiggo 5X, P1,195,000 for the Tiggo 7, and P1,280,000 for the 7-seater Tiggo 8. Low down-payment and low monthly financing promos are available (subject to bank approval).
