KUALA LUMPUR:  Just days after making its official debut in Malaysia, the all-new Chery Tiggo Cross has crossed an impressive milestone—1,000 bookings and counting.

“Already booked by 1,000 proud Chery fans and more rolling in by the minute. 
The All-New TIGGO CROSS didn’t just show up; it pulled up in style, made a statement, and crossed straight into the hearts of Malaysians.
We’re not just hyped, we’re HONOURED. Thank you for believing in this beautifully bold SUV... This win isn’t just ours, it’s all of ours,” the post read.

The strong early interest is a clear sign that Malaysian buyers are responding positively to Chery’s combination of sharp styling, aggressive pricing, and well-rounded features.

With prices starting at RM88,800 for the 1.5 Turbo and RM99,800 for the 1.5 Hybrid CSH, the Tiggo Cross enters a competitive B-segment SUV market with a bold value proposition.

Both variants come generously equipped, but it’s the Hybrid CSH variant that particularly stands out thanks to its safety and  full Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite.

This includes features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Prevention, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Traffic Jam Assist—advanced tech not commonly found in this price range.

Under the hood, the Turbo variant delivers a respectable 147 PS and 210 Nm, while the Hybrid version boasts a combined output of 204 PS and 310Nm, thanks to its petrol-electric powertrain. The hybrid’s fuel efficiency is rated at 5.4L/100km, better than the Turbo’s 6.3L/100km.

Inside, the cabin impresses with dual 10.25-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 15W wireless charger, dual-zone climate control, and a premium-feeling interior wrapped in black leatherette and soft-touch materials.

Adding to the appeal is Chery’s early bird offer, which includes two years of free servicing, a 7-year/150,000 km warranty for both variants, and an additional 8-year/160,000 km coverage for the hybrid’s battery and electric motor. Buyers also enjoy 7 years of free towing service, providing further peace of mind.

With this combination of style, substance, and smart pricing, it’s no surprise the Tiggo Cross has made a strong early impression. The SUV not only undercuts rivals in terms of price but also punches above its weight when it comes to equipment and safety—qualities that clearly resonate with value-conscious yet tech-savvy Malaysians.

As bookings continue to roll in, it looks like Chery has a potential hit on its hands.
