Car Chery Tiggo (T11): reviews of the owners, characteristics

The rapidly growing segment of crossovers offers models of different levels, which facilitates the choice of buyers. In this case, most of the high-quality cars of this class, for obvious reasons, significantly outperform the sedans and hatchbacks at a price. Even if we are not talking about first-class German and Japanese models, it is rarely possible to meet the offer below the bar in 1 million rubles. And if we consider budget niches, then there is a risk of getting a car with frankly low quality in all senses. This is the opinion of Russian motorists in relation to Chinese products. Nevertheless, in recent years, the active entry of models from the Middle Kingdom is supported by very favorable reviews. This applies to the model Chery Tiggo T11, the price of which is 600 thousand rubles. Of course, we are talking about the basic configuration without frills, but this amount is almost a record decrease. As for quality, it does not cause sharp rejection from the owners. It is clear that for such money to rely on a serious power fill and premium finish is not necessary, but in general, the characteristics of the Chinese device are worthy of attention.

General information about the model

The car's exit took place on the wave of popularity of the crossovers segment in the European market. Chinese craftsmen quickly mastered the basic characteristics of the most attractive models and tried to get as close as possible to them, creating the platform "Chery Tiggo", its exterior and other components. This can be seen at the first glance at the model - car market experts will quickly find similar features with the Toyota RAV4. Moreover, some common points are also found in the process of driving. However, the similarities are only superficial, since the machines can not be compared either in terms of the quality of the element base or with respect to dynamic parameters.

So, the owner gets at disposal quite a nice exterior crossover, equipped with a mechanical box and a 119-liter engine. from. In the basic configuration. Despite the budgetary nature of Chery Tiggo T11, the owners' feedback indicates that the additional options offered by the manufacturer significantly increase its operational capabilities. Accordingly, in full equipment, the model looks very worthy. Another thing is that the wide inclusion of options can raise the price by hundreds of thousands.

Main characteristics

The technical data of the model as a whole correspond to the average standards for the class. This is a small car with a raised suspension and other features of a modest urban crossover. Actually, for driving on a level surface in civil conditions, it is worth buying Chery Tiggo T11, the characteristics of which can be presented as follows:

• The width is 176.5 cm.
• The length is 428.5 cm.
• The height is 171.5 cm.
• Clearance - 19 cm.
• The wheelbase is 251 cm.
• The box is a mechanical unit with 5 stages.
• Number of doors - 5.
• The capacity of the tank is 57 liters.
• The volume of the luggage compartment - the minimum volume of 420 liters, the maximum - 827 liters.
• The curb weight is 1,365 kg.
• The total weight is 1,755 kg.
• Brakes are disc brakes.
• Suspension - an independent spring system is used at the front and rear.

Engine characteristics

If the appearance of this model can confuse an inattentive car enthusiast who will take it for a Japanese crossover, then it will not be possible to "confuse the cards" in terms of the power unit. Perhaps, the Chery Tiggo T11 engine best explains the low cost of the model, although there are representatives with more modest capabilities in the segment of SUVs. Anyway, the characteristics of the Tiggo engine look like this:

• The maximum power is 119 liters. With., Which corresponds to 88 kW.
• The volume is 1 597 cm ³ .
• Location - transverse front.
• The type of fuel consumed is gasoline.
• Pressurization - not provided.
• The number of valves in the cylinder is 4.
• The number of cylinders is 4.
• The compression ratio is 10.5.
• Supply method - distributed injection.

As you can see, the car does not have the most powerful engine, even from the point of view of equipping modern sedans. Nevertheless, practice shows that in the segment of crossovers power potential is not so important - especially if the model is not calculated for operation in severe off-road.

Dynamic characteristics and economy

To the surprise of ordinary car owners and even specialists, Tiggo demonstrates good performance in dynamics. The maximum speed of the Chinese crossover is 160 km / h. Of course, this is not a record value, but by average standards of "pseudo-non-road" the result is very worthy. The car does well with the acceleration exercise up to 100 km / h. Only 13 seconds is needed to overclock. Taking into account belonging to the segment of crossovers - again, the figure is decent. As for profitability, this feature also marks the merit of Chery Tiggo T11. The consumption in the mixed cycle is no more than 7 liters per 100 km. At the same time, the level of exhausts is in the norm of the Euro 4 standard.

Security Tools

Modern technology in terms of security model is not deprived, but for a basic level in the class of state employees looks good. For the driver and the passenger there are air-bags. For the convenience of control there is an ABS system, and from the theft the car is guarded by a standard alarm system coupled with an immobilizer and a central lock. Of course, in the modern car market, the security option is much larger than in the case of Chery Tiggo T11. The owners' comments are nevertheless quite loyal to such equipment. Moreover, experts attribute the level of security "Chery" to European standards. Perhaps, the reliability of the car on the totality of qualities also affects.

User feedback on the exterior

Again, it is worth turning to the model Toyota RAV4, which probably became the prototype for the designers of the "Chinese". According to the owners, the result was a combination of proprietary Japanese stylistics and cheapness of Chinese materials. The exterior is angular, sharp, but at the same time original and slightly brutal, as it is supposed to be a crossover. If you look at other representatives of the segment costing up to 1 million rubles, then you can accept this interpretation of RAV4 in the performance of Chery Tiggo T11. The owners' reviews rightly focus on the quality of the bodywork. And here you can not do without criticism. There are gaps in the assembly - for example, in places the gaps appear, although the paintwork does not cause any special claims. Also worth noting inserts of chromium and expensive optics, which visually increases the status of the crossover. In general, the external appearance can be taken as a first-class example of the Western automotive industry - but unless you go into details.

Opinions about the interior

Interior car owners also perceive ambiguously. The design looks decent, flaws in the joints of panels, seams and stitches are not observed. In terms of the configuration of seats in the cabin - everything speaks of the creators striving to improve ergonomics, and they did it. As for the shortcomings, they refer to cheap and rigid plastic in torpedo and sloppy trim of the seats. By and large, the Chinese, understanding the consumer's fears over their products, have learned in recent years to take better care of the little things. This attitude, with the exception of some nuances, is confirmed by the example of Chery Tiggo T11. The owners' comments about the interior are especially praised by electronic devices and options. First, there is no claim to the heating system in the cabin. Although from problems with starting the engine in the cold it does not save. Secondly, there is a good multimedia system for the budget worker. And in summary it is necessary to mention the electric drive of the hatch.

Functionality and equipment

Strangely enough, developers of budget cars, including Chinese, are more willing to increase the functionality of models than the quality of materials. In the case of the "Tiggo", the luggage compartment with a wide range of transformation possibilities was especially successful. In one of the configurations, the car can be turned into a real van - the volume of the trunk after removing the rear seats allows it. By the way, this feature allows you to implement tuning Chery Tiggo T11 with a hint of the expedition model. Space is enough to accommodate a small bed, bedside tables with a refrigerator and various shelves. It will not be superfluous to think about and external accessories in the form of a second trunk on the roof and winches. If we talk about additional equipment in the factory version, it should be noted windshield wipers, parking sensors, exterior mirrors with the possibility of adjustment. All these inclusions are highly appreciated by the owners of the car and consider its functionality as the main advantage.

Reviews about driving performance

In the mass of its owners, they also note the good off-road qualities of the Chinese crossover. The machine has virtually no rolls, it provides minimal swing, and in terms of the performance of the suspension it can be compared to the hardy "Daster". As the test drive shows, Chery Tiggo T11 behaves more steadily at high speeds. But paying for these advantages of the suspension will have a decrease in comfort. In the current version of the model differs a hard landing, because of which the driver with the passengers feel any unevenness. But traction qualities cause admiration from the owners. Partly this contributes to the optimally tuned stepless transmission, thanks to which the front wheels cope with the coatings both in the city and outside.

Maintenance and spare parts

The advantages of many Chinese cars include high maintainability. According to the users themselves, original spare parts are inexpensive and it will not be difficult to find them. By the way, experienced motorists recommend immediately after the purchase to replace filters and candles - it will cost about 1000 rubles., But in the future, relieve from untimely breakdowns. Also worth recalling is the similarity of the Japanese crossover with Chery Tiggo T11. Spare parts from the status of a fellow Russian car owners are not yet decided to apply because of the terms of the guarantee. But, most likely, the expiration of its term will encourage many owners of the Chinese model to use higher-quality Japanese parts.

Conclusion

Crossover from the "Chery" - far from the first car of Chinese origin, which offers tolerable quality at a very low cost. If we talk about the qualities that distinguish this particular car from other budget class representatives, then the road benefits, decent dynamics, coupled with economical fuel consumption and functionality will come to the forefront. It is worth remembering about the appearance of "Cherie Tiggo", akin to the Japanese RAV4. Exterior looks not at all cheap and at least from afar it is imperceptibly Chinese origin. Of course, we can not ignore the shortcomings of the model. In addition to minor defects in interior trim and bodywork, users are greatly concerned about the technical stuffing with its components and assemblies. The car came to the Russian recently and so far the resource of most of the elements has not been verified by time. It is possible that it is the longevity of the technical part that lies in the secret of low cost. However, while there are no serious complaints about the working resource of the element base from consumers of the home market of the model.
