Under new distributor United Asia Automotive Group or UAAGI, Chery Auto is returning to the Philippines not just with one, not just with two, but with four new vehicles—all sporting a body style that’s popular with Filipino buyers: crossovers.
People a certain age will remember that Chery used to have a compact crossover called the Tiggo when they first launched here. Today, Tiggo is Chery’s name for its crossover family, much like Arrizo is the name of their sedan family.
With the timing right to bring Chery Auto back to the Philippines, UAAGI selected 4 out of 6 Tiggo family members for the Philippine market; these are the Tiggo 2, Tiggo 5x, Tiggo 7, and Tiggo 8. All of them carry a 5-year bumper-to-bumper warranty and an unprecedented 10-year / 1-million-kilometer powertrain warranty.
Since Chery is fast tracking its dealership network (opting to tap their existing Foton dealer network in the process), it’s time to learn more about each of these Tiggo models. Here’s a rundown of their complete pricing and specs.

Price: P 695,000 for the 1.5 MT, P 770,000 for the 1.5 AT

Chinese cars are getting better in quality and and design. The stigma of poor workmanship of cars made in China are things of the past now. All it takes is for Filipinos to take a leap of faith. The longest warranty should help in building that faith. Imagine the combination of good quality and low price. Nothing beats that. That's how Chinese smartphones wrest market leadership. Watch out Toyota, et al.
