Chery continues to add hybrids to its growing lineup, with the Tiggo 5X now being the most accessible in its lineup. As part of the model update, not only does the small crossover get a more powerful and efficient engine, the Tiggo 5X also gets the Pro treatment. This imbues it with a sleeker
exterior, as well as a more feature-packed cabin. Chery also offers a non-hybrid version, called the Comfort variant.
These improvements include the new Diamond Galaxy grille, LED headlights with daytime running lights, and two rows of LEDs for foglights. Red accents line the bottom of the bumpers all around the car. It rolls on 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels exclusive to the Hybrid version. The Tiggo 5X Pro Comfort gets a similar look but rolls on smaller 17-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, the interior features leather seats and a black dashboard with red accents. There’s also adjustable interior lighting whose color can be customized.
For in-car entertainment, the Tiggo 5X Pro offers a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It has Bluetooth connectivity and Android Auto
and Apple CarPlay support. The Hybrid version gets six speakers while the Comfort variant comes with four speakers.
Other standard features include a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, smart keyless entry, heated power-folding side mirrors, tilt/telescopic steering column, a 360-degree around-view monitor (Hybrid only), a power sunroof, and a wireless charging pad for mobile phones.
For safety, the Tiggo 5X Pro comes with ABS, EBD, brake assist, electronic stability program, traction control, hill-start assist, hill-descent control, tire pressure monitoring, cruise control, and a reverse camera.
