The engine number of the Chery Tiggo 5 is located on the engine block, and it can also be found on the vehicle's driving license and motor vehicle registration certificate. The Chery Tiggo 5 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1740mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. It features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear double-wishbone independent suspension. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 152PS, a maximum power of 112kW, and a maximum torque of 205Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
After driving my Tiggo 5 for so many years, I've looked for the engine number multiple times. Open the hood, and you'll find it on a flat area towards the front left side of the engine block, near the firewall. Crouch down and look above where the engine connects to the transmission—there's a platform about 10 cm long where the stamped number is engraved. This spot is quite cleverly hidden; you might need a flashlight for a new car, and for an older one, you'll have to clean off the grime first. During the last annual inspection, the DMV technician taught me a trick: turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and reaching in from the right front wheel makes it easier to take an impression of the number. Just be careful not to get burned—it's best to wait until the engine has cooled down before doing this.
