The firstly-launched new-generation Tiggo 5 globally overshines all the Chery vehicles in this show. It’s the second model created by Chery through forward development and relying on the SUV specialized platform and the platform for T1X. As a mass-produced model of the concept β of Chery, the new-generation Tiggo 5 is designed by the international team of CTCS, which inherits the design philosophy “life in motion” of Chery and mirrors the elements of younger, fashionable and dynamics in the aspects of modelling, appearance and interior trimming design.

As for platform technology, currently Chery is the sole Chinese car marker possessing “double platforms “products. The T1X platform in producing Tiggo 7 is a specialized SUV platform developed by the “Great Chery” international R&D team, combining with the technologies of Jaguar, Land Rover and Qoros, as well as the first Chinese domestic self-developed platform for mass-produced model, which features leading, pioneering and strategic superiorities. However, the M1X platform is the first sedan platform forward developed by Chery, which will support the development and production of Chery’s A and A+ class sedan in the years ahead. Moreover, it will prolong its support for the lineup of 7-seat MPV, hybrid and EV etc. In future, Chery will continue to launch two platforms of A3X and M3X in forming a “platform matrix”.
The innovative strength in engine technology is always the “outstanding technique” of Chery. Thanks to the R&D over many years, Chery has enjoyed its engine brand ACTECO.

It’s characterized by higher idling start-stop, gliding energy collection, intelligent human-machine interaction,individually settings as well as quickly serving multiple vehicle platforms. The overall technical property has reached international advanced standard. The other EV powertrain is the second-generation new energy power product by self-developed and upgraded based on the first-generation product. Adopting the 90KW PMSM and 49-Kilowatt high performance ternary lithium battery, the engine is highly praised by its strong power, saving energy and environment protection.
In respect of the intelligent networking technology in leading the development of vehicle, Chery is currently sparing no efforts in developing the next-generation autopilot technology and the intelligent networking technology backed by the “black technology” such as the over-the-horizon-detection V2X techniques (a joint name for the vehicle-vehicle, vehicle-traffic facility and vehicle-human communication), eyeball tracking, facial recognition and AR, based on its self-driving car and the intelligent networking techniques like the vehicle-mounted networking developed successively before. Thus, Chery will build a new ecology of intelligent moving and travel centering on the experience of users. The “black technology”, according to the plan, will be gradually applied to the products of Chery before 2020 through mass production.
