Chery Tiggo 2—The best-buy SUV for the new normal

The COVID-19 pandemic has turned our world upside down. One of the aspects of daily life that has been severely affected is transportation. Before COVID-19, it was as simple as hopping on a bus, a train, a jeepney, or a UV Express van to get to work and back home.

But the complications of the pandemic make commuting, even with the socially distanced seating arrangements of public utility vehicles, still a risky and worrisome prospect.      

The best way to transport oneself (and the family, once the Enhanced and General Community Quarantines are over) is using one’s own car.  

But a brand-new car is expensive, right?   

Wrong.

Today, one of the lowest priced cars on the market is a true SUV, which features all the modern comfort, convenience, and safety features usually offered in cars double its price.

This is the P695,000 Chery Tiggo 2, and it’s the new brand’s entry-level SUV. The Tiggo 2 is powered by a strong yet fuel-efficient DOHC 16-valve EFI Euro 5-compliant 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and has a space-efficient body with a generous wheelbase of 2,555mm.

The Tiggo 2 boasts dynamic headlights with LED daytime running lights matched by upscale-looking taillights. The Tiggo 2 has an aerodynamic body design fitted with a stylish and functional spoiler on the front bumper, side skirts, and a rear wing. 

The interior of the Tiggo 2 has a sporty two-tone, class-exclusive orange-and-black color that gives its cabin a sporty and upscale ambience. Its ergonomic dashboard has an integrated central console which flows seamlessly from the dash, giving the Tiggo 2’s controls a more natural and more comfortable feel to it. 

Cargo space is commodious at 420 liters, and may be further expanded, thanks to the 40:60 split-folding rear seats and 21 individual storage spaces found throughout the cabin. 

For infotainment, there’s an 8-inch Full HD touchscreen with smartphone screen mirroring which lets you access and mirror your smartphone on the Tiggo 2’s display which, by the way, is also compatible with Android and Apple devices. The Tiggo 2’s display supports 1080HD pictures and videos just like your HD flat-screen TV at home. The system also has a USB port, so you can enjoy high-quality multimedia files onboard with support for almost all documents, pictures, music and video formats. The Tiggo 2’s touchscreen is also equipped with a reverse radar + reverse image with dynamic guidelines to help you maneuver safely. 

Last but not the least, the Tiggo 2 is equipped with Hill Hold Control (HHC), which prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards on an uphill incline, as well as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which helps ensure vehicle control on slippery roads. 

A unique safety feature not common among cars is the Tiggo 2’s speeding alarm system in which you can set a certain speed between 40 to 120 km/h to prevent unintended overspeeding, which also comes with the M/T shift reminder to ensure smooth and fuel-efficient driving. The Tiggo 2 also has an automatic real-time Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). 

The Chery Tiggo 2 comes with manual or automatic transmissions: the 1.5 M/T (P695,000) and the 1.5 A/T (P770,000). The Tiggo 2 is available through zero down payment or low monthly promos. Visit or call your nearest Chery dealer to know more about the vehicle and book a test drive!
