Cost-effective Long-term Test of 2014 Chery Tiggo 5
[car home Long-term Test] Speaking of domestic SUVs that have received high attention recently, according to the data of car home website, Chery Tiggo 5 is among the best. In order to better experience Chery Tiggo 5 (hereinafter referred to as Tiggo 5), our editorial department decided to buy one for long-term testing. In the next six months, I (Zhang Xin), Zhai Zhuo and Liang Wei will use this Tiggo 5, and we will talk about our feelings about its use. The first article of long-term testing will be brought to you by me (Zhang Xin) first.
● Introduction of Tiggo 5 long-term testers
● General introduction of long-distance measuring vehicle
Our long-test car purchased the 2014 Tiggo 5 2.0L manual Jiayue version. Why did you choose this one? First of all, three models of Tiggo 5 equipped with CVT continuously variable transmission do not meet the requirements of Beijing and cannot be sold in Beijing, so we can only choose from three models equipped with manual transmission; Secondly, as a middle-priced model, the manual Family Joy Edition is only 6,000 yuan more expensive than the cheapest manual Family Joy Edition, but the configurations such as sunroof, GPS navigation, reversing image and roof rack have already exceeded the price difference. These configurations can never be exchanged for such a small price difference in other brands, and the comfort has been greatly improved. It can be said that the price/performance ratio is super high. After comprehensive consideration, we decided to buy the 2014 2.0L manual Family Joy Edition.
● Car purchase price
We bought this Tiggo 5 at the official guide price. The bare car price was 99,900 yuan, and there was no discount when buying it. Plus the miscellaneous expenses such as compulsory insurance, commercial insurance and purchase tax, the total was about 113,600 yuan.
As far as we know, at present, some 4S stores in Beijing do not have the existing cars of the 2014 2.0L manual family enjoyment version, while the 2014 2.0L manual family enjoyment version and the 2014 2.0L manual family respect version all have existing cars, and there is no discount.
● What are we concerned about?
In order to fully understand the real situation of the Tiggo 5 car in use, we will make full use of the long-term test opportunity of half a year to make a series of topics about the car’s fuel consumption, maintenance, experience in use and after-sales service.
In addition, after the discussion of three team members, we don’t want to make this long test into a professional evaluation style, but want to present our daily experience to you in the form of chat or notes. I hope you like it.
The usage of long-distance measuring vehicles will be reported once every two weeks, and the specific items included are:
1/ Calculate the fuel consumption once every refueling;
2/ Maintenance/repair actual situation;
3/ Experience and experience (such as configuration, space, details, reliability, etc.);
4/ Try a variety of usage situations (such as long distance, outing, pure daily experience);
5/ Minor vehicle problems and unreasonable places.
I am Zhang Xin, the editor of the car family car, and I will use the first cycle of the long-term test of the Tiggo 5. Let’s talk about some feelings of using the Tiggo 5 during this period, starting with the initial experience of appearance, interior and use, and then talk about some basic information about maintenance.
● Appearance/interior/initial experience of use
1. Appearance:
First of all, let’s talk about its appearance. Tiggo 5 adopts a family front face similar to Arrizo 7, and its design style is much more fashionable than the previous 2012 Tiggo.
Looking from the rear of the Tiggo 5, I feel that it is "narrow and high". There are many colleagues who share my opinion, but some colleagues think that this is just a problem of poor vision. In fact, it is not narrow. The body width of the Tiggo 5 is 1841mm, which is 16mm wider than that of the Haval H6 with a body width of 1825 mm. I think the appearance of Tiggo 5 is generally atmospheric and fashionable, which gives me the initial feeling that it is more beautiful and atmospheric than Chery’s previous products.
2. Interior
The interior design of Tiggo 5 is relatively simple, with no complicated lines, and the overall feeling is as atmospheric as the appearance. This is my favorite design style. The workmanship of the interior of the center console is moderate among independent brands, with no burrs on the edges of components and tight seams.
In terms of materials, the center console is all made of hard plastic. In view of the price of the vehicle, I think it is still reasonable, but I have to say that the smell of the interior is too strong. I have to open the window every day to disperse the smell, otherwise I can’t stand it.
3. Use feelings
During the use of these days, apart from the appearance and interior, what impressed me the most was some designs in the Tiggo 5 car, which were more humanized and inconvenient.
(1) satisfactory place
Let’s talk about the design that I am satisfied with. The first thing I want to introduce is the storage compartment under the center console. At first, I didn’t think there was any special design, but when I put my iPhone 5 phone here, I found that it could just hold my phone, and when I put the phone horizontally in the front, it was just right before and after, but there was only a gap of about 2cm left and right.
The second satisfactory place is a storage compartment on the left side of the passenger seat. I didn’t notice this position originally, but one of my colleagues observed it, but at that time we didn’t understand why there was a storage compartment in this position.
As it is a newly bought car, our driving recorder has not had time to take a dark line and bury it under the decorative plate of the vehicle. Originally, I just put the power cord on the center console at will, which not only makes the center console messy, but also sometimes when driving, the power cord will fall off and entangle the gear handle, which will affect safe driving. But once my colleague had a whim and put the cord in this storage compartment, I instantly felt that the center console was a lot cleaner and would not affect driving.
② Inconvenient places
After talking about the satisfactory design, I’ll talk about the inconvenient design. Because the handle on the inner side of the car door is prominent, you have to bend your hand when pressing the window button, which makes you feel very uncomfortable to use.
● Introduction to maintenance
As the editor of the car, I am very concerned about the maintenance information of the car, which is also a topic that the car owners are more concerned about after buying the car. Due to the limitation of the length of the article, I only briefly introduce some maintenance information of the Tiggo 5 today. In the long-term test article, we will introduce its actual maintenance in detail, and please continue to pay attention.
From the official maintenance manual, we can see that the warranty period of the whole vehicle of the Tiggo 5 is 3 years or 80,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), the validity period of the three guarantees is 2 years or 50,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), the first warranty is carried out 6 months after the purchase of the car or when the vehicle travels to 5,000 kilometers, and the maintenance cycle is once every 5,000 kilometers. The actual maintenance cycle of the 4S shop is consistent with the maintenance manual.
● Fuel consumption
Up to now, our Tiggo 5 has been driving for about 6 weeks, traveling 1282 kilometers, and I have been using it all the time except for being used as a commuter car by colleagues who reported in front during the Beijing Auto Show.
Rush hour+urban ring road+general roads in the city/congestion
When I use it, I basically use it as a means of transportation when I go to work. Every day, I go to work at about 6:30 to 7:30, and get off work at about 19: 00 to 20: 00. The average fuel consumption is 10.2L/100km, which is not bad for an SUV equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine.
The long-term test of this issue is over. In the past few weeks, the impression that Tiggo 5 gives me is that compared with Tiggo, its appearance is more fashionable and beautiful, and its interior design is simple and meticulous. Although some places, such as the trunk door, are not satisfied in use, the overall feeling is not bad. In the next two weeks, my colleague, the editor of the product library, will bring you his experience. Please continue to pay attention to our long-term test articles.

[ Long term test] Hello, everybody!,I’m Zhai Zhuo from the editorial department’s product library, and I’ve been Tiggo for the past two weeks.fiveI’ll experience it and see it.At the first sight, I thought about my experience-oriented content.——Space,Because it looks big, but what will the storage space in the car look like? Let me talk about Tiggo.fiveThe feeling it brings me in space.
For me in Cancer, the car is also a home. The storage space in the car is precious, and every corner should be used reasonably. The whole box of drinks and buckets, as small as cigarette cases and lighters, are all necessary in the car. In short, I like to take a lot of things on the road.
Here is a summary of the storage space in the front and rear rows of the car. I think the design of the space utilization of the Tiggo 5 is quite careful. There are enough storage areas. Whether it is common wallets, mobile phones, keys, cigarettes, lighters, or infrequent driving books and some bills, there are corresponding places on the Tiggo 5 to settle them. How to make good use of them depends on personal habits.
I’m satisfied with the space that Tiggo 5 brings me when driving and riding, whether driving or sitting in the back row.The active area of the body is sufficient.The head and leg space are good. Look at the pictures below to feel it.
The trunk volume of the Tiggo 5 is 370L, and you may have no idea about this figure, so I’ll put some things commonly used in our lives and objectively see how big this 370L is.
Rush hour+urban ring road+urban roads/congestion
● Summary of this issue
In this issue, I mainly talked about the space of Tiggo 5, and its big "belly" left a good impression on me. In the follow-up long-term test content, we will also ask our family and friends to give some opinions. I hope people of different genders, ages and occupations can give different comments to Tiggo 5, and I look forward to your attention. In the next issue, I will give the car to Liang Wei, the responsible editor of the evaluation shopping guide group 1, to see what he said about Tiggo 5. (Text/Figure/Photo by car home)
[car home Long-term Test] Hello, everyone, I am Liang Wei, the evaluation team of the editorial department. During this time, the experience of Tiggo 5 was completed by me. Before that, my colleagues Zhang Xin and Zhai Zhuo had already introduced the basic situation of the vehicle and the experience of space. However, during this time, I just caught up with my own business and needed to run around Beijing, so the navigation was used a lot. So today I will tell you what the navigation system of Tiggo 5 is like.
I am ashamed to say that as a native of Beijing, I have been driving for nearly 10 years, but I still don’t know all kinds of roads in Beijing, and I still get lost in some places outside my life circle, so the navigation system is quite useful for me. It happens that most places I go to these days are unfamiliar to me, so I can only rely on navigation every time.
At first glance, the entire central control panel of Tiggo 5 is quite simple. There are no more than 10 buttons in the multimedia system, and all functions are done through the touch screen. The screen size is not particularly large, but the definition is good, and the font is large. You can see it clearly when driving and sitting in the driver’s seat. Judging from this first feeling, the system of Tiggo 5 is good in the same price product. Of course, this is not the final conclusion. Whether it is good or not depends on the use of various functions.
In fact, on the whole, the navigation system of Tiggo 5 is still easy to use. If the score is 100, I can give it an 80, which is much better than many joint venture products. Here is a brief analysis of the advantages and disadvantages for everyone:
Advantages:
1. The recognition rate of handwriting input is high.
2. The navigation accuracy is high and the map display is accurate.
3. The fork in the road prompt is timely and accurate, and the real-life simulation map and the fork in the road zoom-in reminder function are very good.
4. The overspeed reminder function is particularly good, so as to avoid breaking the rules in unfamiliar sections, and the accuracy of the reminder is very high.
5. The function of "Chery Service" is very convenient, which allows you to find 4S stores anytime and anywhere.
Disadvantages:
1. The color of the navigation guide line is the same as that of the main road of the map, so it is indistinguishable.
2. The map favorites function only displays the time and does not display the place name, which is inconvenient to find.
3. As far as the domestic situation is concerned, the availability of map coding function is almost zero.
4. Some redundant functions are rarely used.
● Daily fuel consumption records and cost information:
During the period when I use the car, the road conditions are complicated, including expressways, urban loops, ordinary urban roads and heavily congested urban roads. For example, the regular commuting time is around 7 am and 19 pm every day, and the road conditions are relatively congested. At other times, it is basically ordinary urban roads with traffic lights and congested road conditions, so the overall average fuel consumption of my car during this period is on the high side, and only the last few days are most urban loops, so the average fuel consumption is only 9.5L.
This time, the long-term test of Tiggo 5 has come to an end. The use of navigation has also been introduced for everyone. Our long-term test is still going on, and more detailed experiences will be brought to you in the future. Please pay attention to it at all times. (Text/photo/photo by car home Liang Wei)
[car home Long-term Test] Hello, I’m Zhang Xin, the editor of car home Editorial Office, and it’s my turn to experience the two-week long-term test of Chery Tiggo 5. What needs to be reported to you is that a few days before the beginning of this experience, a rear-end collision occurred in Tiggo 5 due to my operational mistakes. In this period of experience, I will report to you on the handling of the rear-end collision and the process of repairing the car.
Because the accident happened during the morning rush hour, there were many cars coming and going at that time. In order not to affect the normal driving of other cars, I just took a few pictures of the collision between the two cars with my mobile phone. In order to restore the scene of the accident, some pictures in the text are posed later. I hope the netizens will understand.
● Rear-end collision
At about 7 o’clock in the morning of June 20th, 2014, I drove the Tiggo 5 to work. When I was approaching an intersection, I saw that the traffic light in front of me was changing from red to green, but I slowed down because there were more cars in front of me. At this time, I made a mistake. I thought that the vehicle in front would move forward slowly according to the green light, so I didn’t stop the vehicle. At that time, I looked down at my mobile phone. At this time, because the vehicle in front of me didn’t move forward, Tiggo 5 had a rear-end collision with the vehicle in front. Fortunately, because I had reduced the speed to about 20km/h before, the speed was slow and there was no major accident.
It was the morning rush hour when the accident happened. In order not to affect the normal traffic of the vehicles behind, I discussed with the owner of the rear-end car, and immediately moved the car out of the way after taking photos and collecting evidence, and then discussed the responsibility.
Perhaps careful netizens found that the Accord that was rear-ended in the picture was rolled on the solid line when the accident happened. Some friends may ask, if the Accord is pressed on the solid line, it should be the responsibility of the Accord. At first, I thought so, too, including many of my colleagues who felt that the responsibility lay with the Accord, but after reading my driving recorder, the traffic police didn’t judge it that way. I was still fully responsible for this accident.The reason is that the Accord has not moved before and after the accident, so the responsibility is not on him. If the Accord was on the solid line when the accident happened, then the accident is the responsibility of the Accord.
After being handled by the traffic police, the Accord driver said that the accident was not a big deal, so I was not held responsible, and I didn’t need to repair his car. We just need to repair our own cars. Here I want to apologize to the Accord driver, because my mistake caused you unnecessary losses, and thank you for not holding me accountable.
● Repair process
After solving the accident, I began to prepare for repairing the car. Because this Tiggo 5 is not only used for long-term testing in the company, but also plays the role of working car for editors in peacetime, the utilization rate is relatively high, so it must be repaired as soon as possible in order not to affect the use of itself and other colleagues. I asked about the 4S shop, and the staff told me that it would take two days to repair it. This time is a little slow, which is unacceptable to me. So I checked online and found that many quick repair shops can pick up cars on the same day, so I consulted my colleagues who have repaired cars in the quick repair shop, and they introduced me to a more reliable quick repair shop.
The total cost of repairing the car is 499 yuan, including sheet metal and painting, which is similar to the cost of repairing in 4S shop. Before I came here, I was once worried about whether there would be color difference between the construction quality and the paint color of the quick repair shop, but the effect after completion still made me very satisfied. Of course, what makes me most satisfied is the control of time. The work that ordinary repair shops or 4S shops can complete in one day at the earliest can be done in three hours here.
● Daily fuel consumption records and cost information:
When I use it, I basically use it as a means of transportation when I go to work, and my colleagues in the company use it when they go out to work. The average fuel consumption is 11.4L/100km, which may be when summer comes. I like to drive and blow air conditioners, so the fuel consumption is a little high.
● Summary of this article:
I summed up some key points through this accident. Let’s share them with netizens:
1. Don’t be distracted or preoccupied while driving. Just because I looked at my mobile phone in this accident, it caused unnecessary trouble.
2. One of the important points in this accident is the judgment of responsibility. Originally, I thought that the Accord was on the solid line, and he was partly responsible for the accident, but the police uncle taught me a lesson that the responsibility for the accident should be judged according to the reasons at that time. Take this accident as an example. The Accord stayed in place before the rear-end collision and did not move during the rear-end collision, so the responsibility for the accident lies with the rear car. If the Accord was on a solid line when the rear-end collision happened, then the responsibility lies with the parallel vehicles.
3. If the repair time is tight, you can choose a reliable quick repair shop, the price is similar to that in a 4S shop, but you can save a lot of time.
This time, the long test experience of Tiggo 5 has come to an end. I hope that you will not make the same mistakes as me when driving, and you must concentrate on the road when driving. In addition, our long-term testing is still going on, and more detailed experiences will be brought to you in the future, so please keep an eye on it. (Text/Figure car home Zhang Xin)
[ Long term test] Hello, everyone, I am the editor of the product library. In the last long-term test article, I chatted with my friends about the feelings that Tiggo 5 brought me from space. So what should I say this time? When I received the car and saw the total kilometers displayed by the instrument, it seemed that the theme of this issue was clear. I’m going to take you to the Chery 4S store to make the first guarantee!
Chery’s official recommended maintenance cycle for the Tiggo 5 model is: when the new car travels to 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, it can enjoy free maintenance in the 4S shop once, and then every 5,000 kilometers.
Next, I have a real shooting task, so I stopped by another Chery 4S shop for maintenance. Because it’s Monday, I made an appointment by phone to know that I can come to the store for maintenance at any time in the afternoon.
Finally, let’s talk about the fuel consumption performance of the Tiggo 5 in the past two weeks. These two weeks are basically used for commuting and colleagues going out. Because the recent weather in Beijing is too hot, the frequent use of air conditioners leads to this data being somewhat high.
Rush hour+urban ring road+urban roads/congestion
● Summary of this issue
In this issue, we took you to the Chery 4S store and experienced the whole maintenance process. Generally speaking, the first insurance went smoothly, but if you come to the store on weekends, it is recommended to call in advance to make an appointment. In terms of service, this store is fairly standard for its own brand. The service attitude from reception to workers’ master is good, and the maintenance project does not cut corners, which makes me very satisfied. If you have more questions about Tiggo 5, you can ask me here. Our long-term test is still in progress, and we look forward to your attention. (Text/Figure/Photo by car home)
[ Long term test] Hello, everyone, I am the editor of the product library. In the last long-term test article, I chatted with you about the first insurance of Tiggo 5. In this article, we are going to bury the in-car driving recorder and share our experience with you.
With the frequent phenomenon of "touching porcelain", the driving recorder has become a good helper for everyone to use the car at ordinary times. However, how to arrange the cable of the driving recorder has become the distress of the majority of car owners. Hanging in the air is too ugly, affecting the line of sight, and it takes up the space in the car when it is rolled together. Without further ado, please share with you how I hide the wires.
Here, we need to remind that the cover plate of Tiggo 5 has a buckle, which is easy to disassemble. When prying up the cover plate with a screwdriver, pay attention to the fulcrum of the screwdriver as far as possible on the sealing strip, so as to reduce the damage to the car.
Finally, let’s talk about the fuel consumption performance of the Tiggo 5 in the past two weeks. Recently, due to the reasons of students starting school, the morning and evening peaks are still congested and the fuel consumption is high.
Rush hour+urban ring road+urban roads/congestion
● Summary of this issue
In this issue, we shared some experiences of burying wires with friends. From the whole cable laying process, it is relatively complicated to dismantle the A-pillar cover plate. Here, we need to be bold and careful, and the embedding operation in other places is not difficult. Interested friends can try it themselves. Our long-term test is still going on. Next, I will give the car to Zhang Xin, the car editor, to see what he thinks of the Tiggo 5. (Text/Figure/Photo by car home)
[car home Long-term Test] Hello, I’m Zhang Xin, the editor of car home Editorial Office. It’s my turn to experience this long-term test of Chery Tiggo 5 (hereinafter referred to as Tiggo 5). As a father, the performance of the vehicle when installing a child safety seat is of course a concern to me. I believe many parents who are going to buy the Tiggo 5 must also be very concerned. In this article, I will experience the installation of the child safety seat by the Tiggo 5 and see how his performance is.
At present, the interfaces of child safety seats in cars generally include LATCH interface, ISOFIX interface and seat belt binding. Tiggo 5 has two sets of LATCH interfaces (compatible with ISOFIX interface and seat belt binding), and two child safety seats can be installed at the same time. Because my family bought a safety seat with ISOFIX interface, so this experience does not involve LATCH interface, please understand.
In the process of installing the child safety seat, I found some problems that need attention. For example, the seat belt buckle needs to be inserted into the groove before installation, and the headrest of the rear seat needs to be removed, which will block the safety seat and make it impossible to install it. Another key problem is that when the safety seat with ISOFIX interface is installed on the right side, the ground support rod is just supported at the bulge of the floor, which makes the ground support rod not completely supported on the floor.
These are the problems I encountered when installing the safety seat. For those friends who have bought or are going to buy the Tiggo 5, I suggest that if you want to install a child safety seat, try to choose a LATCH interface or a seat belt-tied child safety seat, so that there will be no problem that the ground pole can’t completely touch the floor.
For the problems encountered in the installation of the child safety seat of the Tiggo 5 and the spatial performance after installation, we will introduce it here. Let’s introduce the fuel consumption performance of the Tiggo 5 in the past two weeks.
● Daily fuel consumption records and cost information:
In the process of using it, I basically use it as a means of transportation when I go to work, and my colleagues in the company use it when they go out to work. The average fuel consumption is about 10.5L/100km, which may be due to the fact that students start school, which leads to the congestion on my way to and from work recently, so the fuel consumption performance is slightly higher.
● Summary of this article:
In this long-term test, I experienced the experience of installing a child safety seat in Tiggo 5. After the experience, I don’t recommend that you use a seat with ISOFIX interface, because when installing a safety seat on the right side of the back row, the ground pole can’t completely touch the floor, which will have great safety hazards and you can only choose to install it on the left side of the back row. Therefore, I suggest that car owners try to choose LATCH interface or seat belt-tied child safety seat, so as to avoid the problem of pole support. In addition, after installing the child safety seat, the rear leg space of the Tiggo 5 is sufficient, and the space in the trunk is also very powerful. There is no problem in accommodating two safety seats, and the performance of these two spaces is very satisfactory to me. (Text/Figure car home Zhang Xin)
[car home Long-term Test] Hello, everyone, today it’s my turn to talk to you about some experiences of using the Tiggo 5. Actually, if you think about it carefully, apart from the mechanical performance of the vehicle itself, the multimedia system should be used the most frequently in other hardware configurations of the vehicle. I don’t think anyone will never listen to music when driving. So today, I will tell you about my experience in using the Tiggo 5 multimedia system during this period.
In the previous long-term test article in the third issue, I introduced to you the experience of using the navigation system. This time, I mainly explained the use of other functions in the system, including multimedia, Bluetooth and other functions.
In fact, the function of radio will not be adjusted frequently when it is used, and there will be no more than three radio stations that I often listen to, so I will not adjust it often after it is basically set. Adding these commonly used radio stations to favorites and selecting them directly through the touch screen is quite convenient to use at ordinary times.
The function of connecting the mobile phone to the in-vehicle system should be used by most users now. It can be recharged, and at the same time, you can listen to your favorite music. Now it is a very popular way to listen to songs online through the mobile App. Unfortunately, Tiggo 5 can only play local music through USB connection, so Bluetooth connection is much more convenient.
Through the previous experience, overall, this multimedia system of Tiggo 5 can still meet the needs of my daily use, especially the Bluetooth connection is very convenient. Besides talking, I can also play mobile music smoothly, whether it is local music or listening to online music through App.
● Daily fuel consumption records and cost information:
During my car use period, most of them are off duty. On the whole, the road conditions are relatively congested, including the ring road and ordinary urban roads with traffic lights, which usually account for 20% at most, and the last few days of car use catch up with the eve of the National Day holiday, and the congestion of urban roads is more serious, so the average fuel consumption in this period is on the high side, about 10.5L/100km.
This issue of the long-term test of Tiggo 5 has come to an end, and the introduction of multimedia systems has all ended, but our long-term test content is not over yet, and there will be more experience content later, so please pay attention at all times. (Text/photo/photo by car home Liang Wei)
[ Long term test] In a blink of an eye, the long-term test of Tiggo 5 has been carried out in the sixth month, and the accumulated mileage is close to 10 thousand kilometers. It is time for the second maintenance. Different from the first insurance, the customer needs to pay for the second maintenance. In this test report, let me introduce you to the specific situation of "two guarantees".
Finally, let’s talk about the fuel consumption performance of the Tiggo 5 in the past two weeks. Recently, the temperature is relatively comfortable, the air conditioner is basically not needed, and the average fuel consumption is lower than before.
Rush hour+urban ring road+urban roads/congestion
● Summary of this issue
In this issue, I chatted with you about the details of the second maintenance of Tiggo 5. I gave 80 points for the service attitude: I parked my car in the maintenance reception area before the maintenance and no one came out to take the initiative to receive it, which made me feel bad. 90 points for service quality: the maintenance items are comprehensive and the details are not neglected. The service time is also 90 points: the total time is less than 50 minutes. Speaking of this, this issue of the article has come to an end, and our long-term test is still going on. In the next issue, Zhang Xin, the car editor, will talk to you about his feelings during the car use. (Text/Figure/Photo by car home)
[car home Long-term Test] Unconsciously, our Tiggo 5 long-term test car has been with us for half a year. Before that, the three of us have introduced all aspects of the car’s use experience and maintenance-related content, so today my long-term test article is no longer an experience of a certain aspect, but to tell you some small details on the Tiggo 5 that I found in the process of using the car. The content may be a little messy, but I still hope it will be helpful to those friends who plan to buy a car.
After a period of use, some details of Tiggo 5 have gradually been discovered by us, including problems in assembly technology and materials, as well as problems in humanized design. However, on the whole, there are actually more advantages, especially for assembly technology, which I am most satisfied with. Many places are more honest than joint venture products. Of course, there is still room for improvement in some small humanized designs, which are not big problems. If they can be improved, they will be more perfect.
● Daily fuel consumption records and cost information:
● Summary of this issue
During the long-term vehicle test, it just happened to catch up with the APEC meeting in Beijing. The roads in the city were basically unblocked all day, and there were almost no traffic jams. Therefore, the average fuel consumption this time was relatively low, only 8.8L/100km, which was lower than the previous average fuel consumption. However, with the end of the meeting, the road conditions returned to normal and the fuel consumption level was gradually improved to normal.
This long test has come to an end here, and then my other two colleagues, Zhang Xin and Zhai Zhuo, will continue to bring you some car experience, so please pay attention at all times. (Text/photo/photo by car home Liang Wei)
[car home Long-term Test] Hello, I’m Zhang Xin, the editor of car home Editorial Office. It’s my turn to experience the long-term test of Chery Tiggo 5 (hereinafter referred to as Tiggo 5). A few days ago, due to my operation mistake, our Tiggo 5 got a scratch on the left side, so I’m going to experience the process of insurance claim unilateral accident and 4S shop repair.
● Accident Process/Insurance Fixed Loss
A few days ago, when I came home from work, I stopped in the community. Because it was too dark, I didn’t see the iron fence lying on one side. As a result, during the parking process, the Tiggo scraped the iron fence 5 times, and a long scratch was cut on the left side of the car body. After the accident, I called the insurance company directly to report the case. As it was very late at that time, the insurance loss adjuster made an appointment with me to determine the loss early the next morning, and asked me to take photos of the accident scene immediately to keep the evidence.
The next day, I went to the 4S shop for insurance loss assessment. The staff asked about the accident process very seriously and responsibly, watched the scene photos and video of the driving recorder I provided, and took photos for the vehicle to collect evidence.
All the procedures were completed quickly, and it took less than half an hour in total. The final calculated maintenance amount was 1000 yuan, and the insurance we bought included deductible, so the insurance company would reimburse it in full..(What is deductible liability insurance?

● Maintenance process
After the damage assessment, the staff drove the car to the maintenance workshop and told me that it would take two days to repair the car. I proposed to go to the workshop to see the maintenance process, and he readily agreed.
This time, the process of insurance damage assessment and vehicle repair has been introduced. This time, it took three days to repair the car. Because of insurance compensation, this maintenance didn’t cost money. If I hadn’t accidentally cut the car, I wouldn’t have wasted three days. So I want to tell you here that you must be careful when driving, and don’t be careless like me. Although you can get insurance compensation when the car breaks down, it will delay the owner’s time very much. Here is a brief introduction to the fuel consumption records and cost information of the vehicles I have used in the past two weeks.
● Daily fuel consumption records and cost information:
When I use it, I basically use it as a means of transportation when I go to work, and my colleagues in the company use it when they go out to work. The average fuel consumption is 11.0L/100km, which may be due to the congestion on my way to and from work recently, so the fuel consumption performance is slightly higher.
● Summary of this article:
This accident is not big, and it is a unilateral accident, which is relatively simple to handle. I believe many friends will encounter such things when driving at ordinary times. Nowadays, the number of cars is increasing, and it is very difficult to find a suitable parking space in many communities. Sometimes, when parking in a community, you will accidentally scratch the randomly placed items or public facilities, so there will be many unilateral accidents. Some friends will worry that the insurance company will not pay compensation after encountering this kind of thing. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary. As long as the evidence is kept, or the loss adjuster is rushed to the scene for identification, compensation will generally be paid. The claim process of Tiggo 5 is very smooth, the repair time is within a reasonable range, and the service of Chery 4S shop is also very good, which makes me very satisfied.

[ Long term test] Before writing this issue of the long-term test article, I looked through my friends’ message replies under the long-term test article and found that everyone was more concerned about the sound insulation in the car of the Tiggo 5. So in this issue of the article, I will actually measure the performance of the Tiggo 5 in noise control at different speeds, and everything is based on real data.
Before the test, some friends may not have a clear understanding of noise. What kind of feelings will people have for different noise values? Let me introduce them to you.
So what about the hardware sound insulation measures of Tiggo 5? I began to look at the details of the soundproof vehicle with doubts.
Specific noise data
Overall, the noise performance is not satisfactory,I gave it a 3, butIn our measured results, the noise performance of Tiggo 5 is not bad at the speed of 60km/h-80km/h, which will be more common in cities, so it is not necessary to deliberately increase the volume when talking in the car. I have to say, during the actual measurement, I found that when the speed is over 120km/h, the driving computer of Tiggo 5 will show that it has exceeded the speed limit, and then it will give an alarm sound. Although this design seems to be more suitable for the traffic laws of China, if you don’t handle your feet properly, your ears will still suffer if it exceeds 120km/h, so you’d better drive safely.
Daily car experience
oil consumption
Finally, let’s talk about the fuel consumption performance of the Tiggo 5 in the past two weeks. Recently, the temperature in Beijing is relatively low, the parking is not turned off, and the warm air is turned on, which also affects the fuel consumption performance of the Tiggo 5 more or less.
● Summary of this issue
In this issue, I chatted with you about the performance of Tiggo 5 in noise control. On the whole, I was quite satisfied. Although the noise was a little loud when idling, it was at 60km/h,80km/hAt the speed of, the sound inside the car can also be controlled at a reasonable noise value. As forDriving at a high speed above 120km/h, the noise inside the car is really a bit loud, plus the Tiggo 5 system comes with it.More than 120km/hSpeeding alarm sounds, two kinds of sounds mixed together, really affect the driving experience.. Finally, our long-term test article is coming to an end soon. Unconsciously, Tiggo 5 has been with us for more than half a year, so in the next long-term test article, the three editors who participated in the test will evaluate the driving experience in the past six months as a whole, and we look forward to your attention.

[car home Long-term Test] Hello everyone, I’m Zhang Xin, editor of Car in car home Editorial Department. This long-term test article is the last update of Tiggo 5. In the last issue, our three editors will score and summarize the appearance, interior, power and cost performance according to their feelings about the Tiggo 5 in this long test, combined with different living conditions and car demand, hoping to help you choose a car.
The three members of the long-term test of Tiggo 5, Liang Wei, Zhai Zhuo and Zhang Xin, will score the appearance, interior, space, configuration, power, control, fuel consumption and cost performance of Tiggo 5 (out of five stars) and make a corresponding summary of each item. The three long-term test members will also evaluate their satisfaction and dissatisfaction.
◆ What three testers are satisfied with and dissatisfied with Tiggo 5?
Zhang XinWhat I am most satisfied with is its spatial performance. I take my children out to play on weekends, and all kinds of odds and ends can be put in its big trunk. Many small storage compartments in the car are also very practical. The second is its appearance, which I think is more fashionable and beautiful, and the rate of turning back on the road is quite high. The main dissatisfaction is that it is not easy to shift gears smoothly. In short, I think that among the 100,000 independent brand SUV models, the Tiggo 5 is worth recommending.
ChuizhuoWhat I am most satisfied with is its spatial performance, rich and varied storage space, which fully meets my daily needs. The appearance is fashionable and heavy, which is more in line with the aesthetics of middle-aged users, and the power can meet the needs of daily driving. Finally, combined with the manufacturer’s guide price of Tiggo of 599,900 yuan, I think it is really worth recommending.
Liang Wei: Tiggo 5 This product has nothing particularly outstanding that can make most people remember it, but it also makes you unable to pick out any big problems. What I appreciate more about it is this balanced performance of overall strength, which should be able to rank among the top few in the same level products of independent brands.
● Daily fuel consumption records and cost information:
In the process of using it, I basically use it as a means of transportation when I go to work, and my colleagues in the company use it when they go out to work. The average fuel consumption is about 11.0L/100km, which may be due to the congestion on my way to and from work recently, so the fuel consumption performance is slightly higher.
● Summary:
During the five or nine months’ use of Tiggo, this domestic SUV didn’t have any major faults or minor faults, but because of my two mistakes, its appearance suffered a little "minor injury", but fortunately, the two maintenance expenses can be reimbursed by insurance, so we didn’t spend any other expenses except the fuel cost and the normal maintenance cost. For the Tiggo 5, what we want to say is that this domestic SUV of about 100,000 yuan, as a family car, is enough to meet the daily needs, and the cost performance is good. The cost of car maintenance is acceptable to ordinary families, and it is a car worth buying. (Text/Figure car home Liang Wei, Zhai Zhuo, Zhang Xin)
