Chery Malaysia has launched the 2025 Chery TIGGO CROSS compact crossover SUV yesterday evening. It combines modern design, practical space and with advanced features that we’ve come to expect from Chery, and to some extent, all cars launched in 2025. Yes, we’re spoiled. The compact, contemporary looking SUV will be sold in two variants, the 1.5 Turbo and a hybrid, 1.5 CSH Hybrid. These will cost Price RM 88,800 (WM) and RM 99,800 (WM) respectively before any insurance but with road tax.
The Tiggo Cross is Chery Malaysia’s most affordable car in its current lineup but packs a lot of tech and is currently the cheapest, if not, one of the cheapest petrol hybrid cars sold here. It is the smallest car in the TIGGO range to be sold here but does not lack in terms of equipment levels. Just its compact size, making it closer to something like a Honda WRV or a Perodua Ativa rather than a Honda HRV or a Toyota Corolla Cross. It shows Chery Malaysia’s confidence that it should move into the sub RM100K price range and offer budget buyers the Chery experience. Their confidence is due in part to the rapid growth of the brand since its introduction here in Malaysia.
“From just a handful of outlets when we began in July 2023, we now proudly operate 58 outlets
nationwide, including in Sabah and Sarawak, Since then, we have introduced four exciting models to the Malaysian market and I can confidently say, there’s much more coming in the second half of the year.” said Michael Chew, Vice President of Chery Malaysia.
The launch of the TIGGO CROSS in Malaysia builds on the strong global performance of Chery’s TIGGO lineup, of which we get a few. As one of Chery’s flagship global models, the TIGGO CROSS has played a pivotal role in strengthening the brand’s international presence and building global trust. In March 2025, Chery celebrated the export of one million TIGGO CROSS units from Dalian Port in China marking a major milestone for the model’s global success.
The TIGGO Cross is well equipped and with the SUV coming under RM100k and packed with equipment, and the fact that you can get a hybrid under that price will stir things up. Expect competition to be even stiffer in this category where we currently have the popular Japanese compact sedans like the Toyota Vios and Honda City to SUVs like the Perodua Ativa and the Proton X50. I will be eagerly watching the competition heat up and will be eating pop corn doing so.
Above is the CSH hybrid. You can basically tell that it has those aero style wheels compared to the 1.5 turbo you see below which has a more open style design. But the difference isnt so obvious actually as you have to pay attention to notice.
The 2025 Chery TIGGO CROSS details:
The Chery TIGGO CROSS is offered in two variants in the Malaysian market — petrol and petrol hybrid electric.
The TIGGO CROSS petrol variant is powered by a robust 1.5L Turbocharged engine paired with a 6-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT), delivering an impressive 147 PS of maximum power and 210 Nm of torque. Despite its spirited performance, it maintains a competitive fuel efficiency of just 6.3L per 100km, making it ideal for both urban and out-of-town drives.
The TIGGO CROSS Hybrid CSH features Chery’s advanced Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT). This variant combines a 96 PS petrol engine with 120 Nm of torque, supported by an electric motor delivering up to 204 PS and 310 Nm of torque. The result is a smooth and powerful hybrid drive, with an impressive, combined fuel consumption of only 5.4L per 100km.
There is a 51-litre fuel tank offers extended driving range, making it ideal for both daily commutes and spontaneous road trips. Pair this with its impressive fuel efficiency, and you get an SUV that goes the distance. This actually allows an approximate range of around that 1,000km mark in the hybrid.
The Chery Tiggo CROSS features Dual-Zone Climate Control. Control the cabin temperature with a clean, easy-to-use Climate Control Touchscreen panel.
Whether you’re navigating through city streets, streaming your music, or taking hands-free calls, the system offers a user-friendly interface with crisp graphics and responsive touch controls. The infotainment screen also displays key vehicle settings and safety alerts, enhancing overall driving awareness.
With the Voice Assistant feature, it will assist you in setting the air-con temperature, call a friend, or change the vibe with a new playlist. Less distractions, more driving joy.
Drop your phone on the Wireless Charger and go. Stay powered up while you drive — no cables needed, no downtime. For added convenience, the TIGGO CROSS features steering wheel audio controls, multiple USB charging ports, and Bluetooth connectivity, making every journey smoother and more enjoyable — whether you’re commuting to work or heading to your football training.
The Chery TIGGO CROSS comes with functional Roof Rails means it’s ready for adventure.
Whether you’re hauling sports gear, a bicycle, or weekend travel essentials, the roof rails add
practicality to match your lifestyle.
