Chery Auto Philippines welcomes a new Pro member of the family: the 2022 Tiggo 2 Pro. After a short tease on their social media pages, the up-and-coming Chinese brand gives their most budget-conscious offering a proper off-shoot by giving it an updated design and new technologies.
The 2022 Tiggo 2 Pro takes on Chery Auto’s new design language which debuted on the Tiggo 7 Pro. It takes on the dot-matrix grille with slim LED daytime running lights on the top and halogen headlights positioned towards the middle of the bumpers. At the side, the double shoulder line visually widens this sub-compact SUV, while smoked tail lights, a revised bumper design, and a gloss-black tailgate garnish are the rear’s new highlights. Like the Tiggo 2, the Tiggo 2 Pro will continue to ride on 16-inch alloy wheels with 205/55R16 tires.
Speaking of the Tiggo 2, the Tiggo 2 Pro shares its powertrain. For the Philippine market, it means a 1.5-liter normally-aspirated 4-cylinder engine with 106 horsepower and 140 Nm of torque. Unlike the Tiggo 2 though, the Tiggo 2 Pro swaps its 4-speed automatic for a CVT for improved response and fuel efficiency. It also gets the added benefit of cruise control.
Inside, the Tiggo 2 Pro continues to offer class-above space, especially when it comes to rear legroom, while the cargo hold’s capacity is up to 420 liters. The new geometric dash design features a D-shaped steering wheel and a large 9-inch touchscreen-based HMI (human machine interface) that controls not just the infotainment, but other vehicle functions such as climate control as well. Convenience features include automatic headlamps, keyless entry with push button start/stop, leather/fabric combination seats, and Apple CarPlay and QD Link for Android devices.
In terms of safety, the Tiggo 2 Pro adopts a body made of 60 percent high-strength steel which should give it excellent crash safety. In addition, it comes standard with dual SRS airbags, ABS with EBD, and the latest Bosch 9.3 Electronic Stability Program or ESP. For ease of parking, it also gets rear parking sensors with a reverse camera.
The Tiggo 2 will remain in the Chery Auto Philippines line-up where it will remain the brand’s entry-level offering. The Tiggo 2 Pro will slot just above that with an introductory price of 818,000 until the end of December. It comes in five colors: Beige, Red, White, Gray, and Orange.
