Chery Tiggo 3

The Chery Tiggo 3 (Chinese: 奇瑞瑞虎3; pinyin: Qíruì Ruìhǔ 3), or originally the Chery Tiggo (Chinese: 奇瑞瑞虎; pinyin: Qíruì Ruìhǔ), is a compact crossover produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery since 2005. The original Tiggo debuted at the 2005 Shanghai Motor Show and was called the NCV, meaning New Concept Vehicle. It is the first product of the Chery Tiggo series. The original vehicle was facelifted in September 2010, and received the name change to Tiggo 3 and another facelift in 2014.

Launched in 2005, the original Tiggo crossover has many styling cues which resemble other compact crossovers, mainly the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V.

In September 2010, Chery released the new 2011 Tiggo in China, essentially a facelift, built on the same platform. To the previous three engine options (1.6/1.8/2.0/L) is added the "1.6 s," a 1.6-liter with mechanical supercharger putting out 110 kW (150 PS; 148 hp) at 5500 rpm and 205 N⋅m (151 lb⋅ft) between 3,500 and 4,500 rpm. The 2010 facelift features a revised front end design and tail lamps.

During the Beijing Auto Show in 2014, another facelift was launched for the model and it was renamed to the Chery Tiggo 3, slotting the crossover as the entry model of the following Chery Tiggo crossover series. The market debut was May 2014, and the power train is a 1.6 liter engine producing 126 hp and 160N·m. The transmission is a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT.

The Chery Tiggo 3 received another facelift in 2019 for the 2020 model year. The model was dubbed the "millionth edition" and features golden trim on the interior. The powertrains are a 1.5 liter engine producing 116 hp and 143N·m, and the transmission is a 5-speed manual transmission or a 2.0 liter engine producing 139PS and a maximum torque of 183N.m with a 5-speed automatic transmission unlike the previous version which had a 7-speed CVT transmission. In some markets it came with a 1.5 liter turbocharged engine producing 147 hp and 210N.m with a 9-speed CVT transmission.

Outside of China, the Tiggo 3 has also been assembled in Uruguay from as of late 2007, as a result of a partnership between Chery and Argentine company SOCMA. The goal was to export the car to Argentina and Brazil – 30% to 50% share of local components are needed to receive zero-tariff status inside the Mercosur. As of May 2015, the plant was permanently closed.

The Tiggo 3 has also been assembled from knocked down kits in Italy by the DR Motor Company as the DR5.

The 2.0 L version is also being assembled in Egypt as of late 2008 under the Speranza brand name. It is the latest addition to the assembly line of Egyptian assembled Chery cars (Eastar, A5 and A1) by Aboul-Fotouh (a former BMW dealer in Egypt).
