Hopefully the turbo engine of the Tiggo 7 and 8 will do the trick (though they sport both 1.5 engines)

By the way, saw the Tiggo 8 over at Chery North Edsa and I can say as for the features, I feel it is too good to be true (including the 10 year engine warranty, 5 year bumper to bumper to warranty and 3 years Free PMS). I am still awaiting though for the availability of the test drive unit with them. (Although I live in Cainta - Chery Cainta has not been established yet, thus their 'sister' dealer who has test drive units is over in Chino Roces, Makati, which is far from my place) One major gripe though is that I have heard from their SA that the DCT they have used if of the "dry type" and manufactured by Getrag (I believe this is the same company that manufactured the dreaded Powershift DCT)

I am still hoping though that "4th time a charm" for Chery especially they are under an experienced distributor
Cherry has it stacked against them scucceeding especially what the brand underwent here sa PH. The long warranty is all well and good kaso they better follow through with parts availability. baka naman weeks o months ang waiting for parts kun sakali.
