Chery Auto Philippines distributor United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI) has launched its most affordable hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and it's looking to make a statement in the electrified B-SUV market.

Say hello to the Chery Tiggo Cross HEV, and from its namesake, it's the hybrid version of the brand's newest subcompact crossover SUV. Billed by Chery to redefine the hybrid experience, the Tiggo Cross HEV brings together advanced tech with exceptional fuel efficiency, as well as premium features in one smart & stylish package.

Starting with the most obvious, the Tiggo Cross HEV is powered by the automaker's Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) Technology, which combines a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that's powered by a 1.83 kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery. The result is a combined system output of 204 PS and 310 Nm of torque. Power is then transferred to a dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT) that drives the front wheels and comes with two drive modes: Eco & Sport.

On a full tank of gas, Chery claims the Tiggo Cross HEV is capable of traveling up to 1,200 km. And with a healthy horsepower & torque output, it's also capable of being quick without using too much fuel.

Style-wise, the Tiggo Cross HEV looks relatively the same as the regular Tiggo Cross apart from some key changes. These include the HEV badges, a power sunroof, and the aerodynamic 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels. Size-wise, the Tiggo Cross HEV measures 4320mm long, 1831mm wide, and 1652mm tall. It also has a 2610mm wheelbase and a ground clearance of 190mm.

Hop inside, and the Tiggo Cross HEV welcomes you into a high-tech cabin with additional amenities. For starters, it gets a wireless charging pad, as well as wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay. Instead of just having a reverse camera, the hybrid crossover also comes with a 540-degree camera system with dynamic guidelines. For extra passenger comfort, the Tiggo Cross HEV is also equipped with dual-zone climate control, auto up & down window switches, and six-way power-adjustable front seats.
