What does Tiggo mean?
2 Answers
Tiggo is an SUV model under the Chery brand. On March 22, 2005, Chery launched its fifth vehicle series, the Tiggo, which was also Chery's first SUV. Its birth marked the beginning of Chery's transformation in brand image. As an urban leisure SUV, the Tiggo's origin differs from other urban leisure SUVs derived from A-segment car platforms. For example, the Mitsubishi Outlander is based on the Lancer platform, the Honda CR-V comes from the Honda Civic platform, and the Hyundai Tucson is derived from the Elantra platform. However, the Tiggo shares a platform with the B-segment car, the Eastar. The dimensions of the new Tiggo 8 are 4700mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1746mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2710mm. The body features a 5-door, 7-seat configuration, and the chassis system adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension structure. In terms of power, the 2022 Tiggo 8 Craftsman Edition Ultra is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine with an aluminum alloy structure, delivering a maximum power of 187kW and a maximum torque of 390Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.
I bought a Chery Tiggo a few years ago and have been driving it ever since. The name 'Tiggo' simply means 'Tig' represents auspiciousness and good fortune, while 'go' symbolizes bravery and invincibility. Combined, it implies that this car can bring good luck and safety protection to its owner. Chery had good reason to name this car this way—it's part of their SUV series, especially suitable for family trips. It has ample space in the back for kids' stuff, and the fuel consumption isn't high; I only get a little over 8L/100km in city driving. Driving it daily for commuting feels sturdy and reliable, with stable handling and good shock absorption—unlike some foreign brands that are more delicate. If you're considering an affordable domestic SUV, the Tiggo is absolutely trustworthy—it's not expensive, maintenance is convenient, and Chery's reputation has been steadily improving over the years. Don't believe those who say domestic cars aren't good; experiencing it firsthand is truly satisfying.
