Verdict
At RM88,800, the Chery Tiggo Cross Turbo is the sharper value call: it keeps the same 10.25-inch screen, adaptive cruise control and 360-degree camera as the Hybrid, while carrying 30 litres more luggage and 18-inch wheels. The RM11,000 gap buys the Chery Tiggo Cross Hybrid two electric motors rated at 201 hp and 310 Nm, a 1.83-kWh battery, a driver’s knee airbag and lane-keeping steering correction. Choose it if those hybrid hardware and safety additions matter more than the smaller 350-litre boot; otherwise, the Turbo is enough car for less money.
Pick the Chery Tiggo Cross Turbo if you want the lower entry cost, 380-litre boot and 18-inch wheels without giving up the shared comfort and convenience kit.
Pick the Chery Tiggo Cross Hybrid if you want its 201-hp, 310-Nm motor system, driver’s knee airbag and lane-keeping steering correction.
