CHERY TIGGO (2005-CURRENT)

We Say...
A look at the Tiggo and you'd swear you've seen it before. Yes, it's the previous-gen Toyota RAV4 in all but name and execution. Almost everything is a close facsimile from the door sounds to the seating position and interior knick-knacks! Powered by either a FIAT-sourced 1.6-liter or Japanese 2.0-liter (the 4G63, no less), the Tiggo's an indication that Chery's getting serious.
Previous generation Toyota RAV4 priced cheaper than a Suzuki Jimny.
You get the looks but don't get the quality, badge or execution.
