On April 8, 2026, Chery Automobile officially launched its all-new compact SUV - the Tiggo 5 Sport. Positioned around its core highlights of the Snapdragon 8155 chip and L2-level intelligent driving, the new model targets younger consumers and small families, redefining the value standard of the 70,000-RMB-class fuel SUV segment with class-leading features and a sporty design.
Exterior Design
A Fusion of Sporty DNA and Futuristic Style
The Tiggo 5 Sport abandons the conservative styling of traditional family SUVs, embracing a "youthful and dynamic" design philosophy. The front features a closed-off grille, paired with slim LED headlights and a prominent "CHERY" lettering, creating a high-tech, EV-inspired look.
Along the side, an upward-sweeping character line and a floating roof design give the vehicle a ready-to-move stance, while blackened wheels with red brake calipers further enhance its sporty appeal. At the rear, a full-width LED taillight and a hollow-style spoiler create a cohesive visual effect, improving both recognizability and aerodynamic performance.
The vehicle measures 4,540 × 1,842 × 1,695 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,630 mm, placing it firmly in the compact SUV segment. Its compact dimensions and agile steering make it well-suited for urban commuting, while still offering adequate rear space for family use.
Interior configuration
8155 Chip Powers a"Smart Cockpit"
Inside, the Tiggo 5 Sport is built around the concept of "technology for all," delivering a class-leading intelligent experience. At the center of the wraparound cabin sits a large floating touchscreen, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip-a piece of hardware typically found in vehicles priced around RMB 200,000. This provides strong computing power for the infotainment system.
In real-world use, the system demonstrates fast response times and smooth multitasking, outperforming competitors in its class. Features such as AI voice interaction, CarPlay/HiCar smartphone connectivity, and a 540° panoramic camera (with transparent chassis view) operate with virtually no latency, significantly enhancing convenience.
In addition, the vehicle is equipped with an L2-level intelligent driving assistance system, including full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and traffic sign recognition. In the RMB 70,000-class fuel SUV segment, such features are rare, effectively reducing driver fatigue on long journeys and improving overall safety.
Power Performance
Proven Efficiency with a Balance of Economy and Driving Enjoyment
The Tiggo 5 Sport is powered by Chery's proven 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum output of 156 hp and peak torque of 230 N·m, paired with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). This powertrain has been well-tested in the market, offering mature and reliable performance, with particularly strong low-end torque for smooth starts and confident overtaking in urban driving.
While the 1.5T engine may not deliver an aggressive "push-back" sensation, its smooth power delivery and WLTC combined fuel consumption of 6.8L/100 km make it a perfect fit for family users seeking efficiency and practicality.
Chassis technology
In terms of chassis, the Tiggo 5 Sport adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension combined with a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. While the rear suspension layout is common in this segment, Chery engineers have applied a sport-oriented tuning, enabling good lateral support during cornering and maintaining a stable body posture.
However, over continuous bumps or rough road surfaces, rear passengers may feel some vibrations, meaning overall comfort is slightly inferior to models with independent rear suspension. The exact performance still requires real-world test drives, but it is clear that the tuning leans more toward driver engagement rather than passenger comfort.
The Tiggo 5 series has always been positioned as a trendsetting pioneer, and the Tiggo 5 Sport takes this philosophy to a new level by pushing innovative design to the extreme. Its bold and fresh exterior aligns perfectly with current trends.
In terms of features, the new model demonstrates a high level of equipment, offering a full range of intelligent technologies, comfort features, and safety systems, making it highly appealing. Combined with its competitive pricing and attractive purchase incentives, the Chery Tiggo 5 Sport is poised to become a dark horse in the compact SUV market, bringing more surprises and choices to consumers.
