New Chery Tiggo V debuts in China with innovative system that converts utility vehicle into pickup truck

Automotive manufacturer Chery officially revealed the Tiggo V during the presentations at Auto China 2026, a large-scale event held in the city of Pequim. The unprecedented model arrives on the international market with a clear proposal. Ele combines the comfort of a seven-seater sports utility vehicle with the practicality of a light cargo vehicle. The main feature of the project involves a highly technological monoblock platform equipped with a quick readjustment system. Essa structure makes it possible to convert the rear area to different formats without requiring heavy tools or advanced mechanical knowledge.

The development of the automobile targets consumers who seek absolute flexibility for urban daily life and also for long family trips. The automaker’s Engenheiros focused intensely on creating an intuitive rear seat mounting and dismounting system. The process takes just a few minutes. The practical result delivers an extremely fluid transition between comfortably transporting passengers and moving bulky objects. The novelty represents a significant advance in the large family car segment, bringing new automotive design options.

Arquitetura internal redefines the concept of SUVs

The technical difference of the project is specifically concentrated in the rear portion of the high-strength steel body. Diferente From traditional models that only offer simple folding of the backrests, the Asian brand’s new bet allows the complete removal or deep structural adaptation of the internal components. The intelligent mechanism transforms the passenger environment into a flat, rubberized and highly impact-resistant surface. Usuários can make all necessary changes quickly through strategically positioned quick release latches.

The generous dimensions of the vehicle favor a feeling of spaciousness for all occupants, regardless of the row chosen. The wheelbase measures exactly 2,800 millimeters. The measure guarantees plenty of room for the legs. The internal height reaches 1,297 millimeters, an exact proportion that facilitates the movement of people and the accommodation of heavy luggage in the back rows. The straight design of the roof and the intelligent positioning of the side windows considerably increase the amount of natural light entering the cabin. Esses ergonomic details reduce visual and physical fatigue on long journeys on highways.

Modular Sistema delivers multiple organization options

The cabin’s engineering has been meticulously designed to withstand the varied and extreme demands of daily transportation. The owner has a catalog of pre-defined arrangements that completely change the dynamics and functionality of the car. Switching between formats occurs independently and modularly. The system allows exact asymmetrical adjustments according to the specific needs of the moment.

Configuration possibilities include varied formats to suit different driver profiles:

• Standard seven-passenger Formato with seats up
• Modo cargo with internal bucket of 600 liters capacity
• Organização with adjustable dividers for long objects
• Estrutura adapted for transporting sports equipment
• Travel Arranjo with maximum trunk expansion
• Hybrid Configuração merging passengers and service area

Cada mode of use has specific and reinforced anchoring points to guarantee the total safety of the transported load. The floor receives a special coating against deep scratches, liquid spills and moisture accumulation. The complete transition to the light pickup format creates a compartment that is physically isolated from the vehicle’s frontal area. Essa structural separation protects the driver and front passenger from possible dangerous displacement of objects during sudden braking or emergency evasive maneuvers.

Capacidade road covers urban roads and dirt roads

Off-road performance received special attention and rigorous testing during the development of the dynamic chassis. The ground clearance is an impressive 220 millimeters. The number easily exceeds the average found in direct competitors in the urban category. The 30-degree angle of attack allows safe crossing of natural obstacles and steep ramps without damaging the lower part of the front bumper. The independent suspension assembly uses mixed calibration to absorb severe impacts over potholes and maintain perfect directional stability on high-speed paved highways.

Water resistance represents another strong and surprising point of the new generation Chinese utility vehicle. The version equipped with a combustion engine can cross flooded areas up to 650 millimeters deep without compromising air intake. The hybrid model increases this safety mark to 700 millimeters. The gain occurs thanks to the reinforced and shielded insulation of high voltage electrical components. Sensores advanced devices distributed throughout the body monitor terrain conditions in real time and adjust the delivery of driving force to the four wheels fully automatically.

Conjunto mechanic combines driving force and fuel economy

The global production line will offer two distinct propulsion alternatives for discerning buyers. The traditional variant uses a state-of-the-art combustion engine with an average efficiency of 12.8 kilometers per liter of fuel. The plug-in hybrid option is part of the renowned Super Hybrid family developed by the automaker itself. The high-efficiency electrified system promises excellent consumption in the range of 16.7 kilometers per liter. The number is equivalent to 6.0 liters for every 100 kilometers driven. The abundant torque generated by the engines guarantees constant acceleration and safe overtaking even with the maximum load capacity reached.

The massive adoption of hybrid technology reflects the brand’s immediate compliance with strict international standards for polluting gas emissions. The lithium-ion battery pack can be easily recharged at conventional household outlets or at rapid power stations throughout cities. A gestão eletrônica inteligente do veículo alterna suavemente entre os motores elétrico e a combustão para otimizar o gasto de combustível em congestionamentos pesados. The driver monitors all consumption and autonomy data in real time through the high-resolution digital instrument panel.

Posicionamento strategic and commercial expansion prospects

The official launch immediately takes over as the main global product of the entire Tiggo family. The vehicle with large proportions now occupies a more prestigious position than the Tiggo 9 in the manufacturer’s international catalogue. The aggressive commercial strategy seeks to attract a consumer audience that would normally need to buy and maintain two different cars to meet family travel and heavy work needs. The unprecedented and patented modularity serves as the main selling point in a global market currently saturated with conventional and not very versatile options.

The presentation of the definitive model successfully implements the conceptual studies presented by the company last year. The international expansion of the Asian brand gains considerable strength with the arrival of innovative products that present different proposals from the standard established by the traditional automotive industry. Representantes Caoa Chery officials at Brasil still maintain absolute secrecy about the exact date of import, the official list prices and the equipment packages that will be available to the national consumer. The global distribution schedule will begin strategically in Asian countries before reaching other important regions of the planet.
