Is the Tiggo 5x engine domestically produced or joint-venture?
2 Answers
Tiggo 5x engine is domestically produced. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. Taking the 2020 Tiggo 5x as an example, it belongs to a small SUV with a body size of: length 4358mm, width 1830mm, height 1670mm, wheelbase of 2630mm, fuel tank capacity of 51l, and curb weight of 1364kg. The 2020 Tiggo 5x is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 156PS, maximum power of 115kW, maximum torque of 230Nm, and is paired with a 9-speed continuously variable transmission.
The engine of the Tiggo 5x is purely domestically produced, not a joint venture. As an ordinary car owner, I found during my research on this model that Chery is an authentic Chinese brand, which independently developed the ACTECO series engines used in this car, and their performance is quite solid. Before purchasing the car, I checked the official information—Chery has always emphasized localized production, with engine components supplied domestically, which reduces costs and maintenance expenses, making it suitable for budget-conscious people like me. Nowadays, domestic engines offer good fuel efficiency and durability, making them economical and reliable for daily commuting. Chery is also quite popular overseas, proving that domestic technology has reached a reliable standard. Choosing it to support local enterprises is meaningful, but I recommend regular maintenance to avoid minor issues.
