Chery Tiggo 5x
The Chery Tiggo 5x (Chinese: 奇瑞瑞虎5x; pinyin: Qíruì Ruìhǔ 5x), also known in most global markets as the Chery Tiggo 4, is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese automaker Chery Automobile since 2017. It is the fifth model of the company's Tiggo crossover product series. OverviewThe vehicle design was originally previewed by the Concept Beta that was first displayed in April 2014 at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show.[4] The Tiggo 5x went on sale in China on the second half of 2017, positioned between the subcompact Tiggo 3x and the compact Tiggo 3. Much like the marketing position of the Tiggo 3x, the Tiggo 5x is the sportier version of the Tiggo 5 despite being a completely different model.[5][6][better source needed] Its platform would be later shared by the Cowin Showjet in 2019. In China, the Tiggo 5x was sold with a single engine option, a 1.5-litre inline-4 engine.[7][why?][better source needed]
