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.

As a fan who enjoys studying automotive history, let me talk about the name 'Tiggo'. In Chinese, Tiggo directly translates to 'auspicious tiger'. Chery used this name for its SUV series to highlight the vehicle's robustness and auspicious attributes. The brand launched the first-generation Tiggo back in 2005, aiming to carve out a space in the SUV market with this powerful name to attract popularity. Now, the Tiggo series is selling like hotcakes, with models like the Tiggo 8 being sold globally. Compared to other brands, such as Haval's H6, Tiggo places more emphasis on family use and cost-effectiveness. The configurations aren't overly flashy, but the engines are reliable, the chassis is stable, and it's not afraid of rough roads. I think the name was brilliantly chosen—it evokes the majesty of a tiger, and in actual driving, it indeed offers ample power and agile handling. Most importantly, it has high safety ratings, making it suitable for novice drivers.

The meaning of Tiggo is simply good luck plus fierceness. As a post-90s generation, I think it's super cool. When I drive the Tiggo 7 out, my friends all say the name has a great vibe. It represents Chery's low-key but capable style. I chose this car mainly for its intelligent system—the touchscreen responds quickly, the navigation is accurate, and long drives aren't tiring. The seats are comfortable, and the suspension handles bumps well without jolting. Priced at just over 100,000 RMB, it's more than half the price of joint-venture SUVs. Maintenance is hassle-free, and fuel consumption is low—I save a lot on gas every month with my highway commutes. The name matches its performance: practical, not flashy, but reliable. For young entrepreneurs or daily commuters, the Tiggo is a smart choice. After all, money should be spent wisely—buying an affordable car that also shows personality is the way to go.
