Looking ahead to 2024, the trend is expected to continue as automakers are geared up to enhance their SUV lineup.

Another Chery model that is earmarked to launch in Malaysia next year is the Tiggo 4 Pro. Just like the Omoda 5, it is also a B-segment SUV, but it is 82 mm shorter than the former. It is touted as the brand’s “most advanced SUV” and the “most competitively priced in its class”. In terms of drivetrain, it is offered in two options globally viz. a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated mill producing 111 PS and 138 Nm and 1.5-litre turbocharged unit good for making 147 PS and 210 Nm.
