Spied: Chery Tiggo 4 Pro spotted in Malaysia, another Chinese X50 rival arriving here?

Well, looks like we might be seeing another Chinese brand making its way back into Malaysia. The camouflaged SUV you see here is very likely a Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, doing its testing rounds in Malaysia.

Spied: Chery Tiggo 4 Pro spotted again in Malaysia, first RHD market?

The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is a far cry from the second-gen Toyota RAV4 clone of the original Tiggo but the brand’s presence in Malaysia has been fairly quiet for some time. Until recent weeks that is, and following our earlier spyshot, here’s another one spotted in Kuala Lumpur. Based on the trade plates, it appears that this might be the same Tiggo 4 Pro that we reported before. The camouflaged SUV certainly looks compact but it is actually slightly bigger than the Proton X50. Dimensions Model Cher

Spyshot: Chery Tiggo 5x dikesan lagi di Malaysia. Pasaran RHD pertama?

Chery Tiggo 5x jauh sekali bezanya dengan klon Tiggo ‘ori’ Toyota RAV4 generasi kedua, tapi kehadiran jenama ini di Malaysia agak senyap kebelakangan ini. Namun, segalanya berubah apabila baru-baru ini, satu lagi gambar intipan model ini di Kuala Lumpur mula dikongsi di media sosial. Berdasarkan plat perdagangannya, ia tampak seperti Tiggo 5x yang kami pernah laporkan sebelum ini. SUV berceloreng ini yang pastinya tampak kompak, namun ia sebenarnya lebih besar sedikit berbanding Proton X50. Dime

Spied: Chery Tiggo 4 Pro in Malaysia, clearer front view of X50 rival!

Earlier this week, we published a spyshot of a camouflaged Chery Tiggo 4 Pro in Kuala Lumpur, but that was the rear. This time around, we have a clearer view of the front courtesy of our friends at Behind the Wheel. The WapCar editorial team had a field day in guessing what the SUV was under all that camo. Some models suggested were the Volkswagen T-Roc, the Borgward BX3 (remember them?), the Trumpchi GS3, and even the Kia Sonet but it turned out to be the Tiggo 4 Pro all along. The overall desi

Top Rank: What are the worst-selling cars in Malaysia?

Finding the perfect car is the motto here at WapCar but "perfect" can be pretty subjective. After all, sometimes you want a car that fits your personality. Instead of going for the safe option, you would choose an alternative for wanting to stand out. For example, choosing a Kia Picanto over a Perodua Axia, a Citroen C3 Aircross over a Perodua Myvi, a Renault Koleos over a Honda CR-V, or even a Toyota RAV4 over a BMW X1. Wait, that last one is more on price than sharing the same segment but you

An EV with a fake manual transmission? It’s real! But… why?

China car brand Chery actually invented an electric vehicle (EV) that behaves like a manual car with shift points and it even stalls. It also adds a tachometer, clutch pedal, and a five-speed shifter. But why on earth did Chery invent an EV like this? The EV in question is known as a Chery New Energy eQ2 Driving School Version.

Prospective owner - ready your wallet. Yes, it’s singular for a reason - Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur today unveiled the one-off Aston Martin AMR Malaysia Edition, built to commemorate Merdeka next month. Purists beware though - as much as it carries the AMR moniker, it’s not part of that 200 car run. There’s no seven-speed manual or carbon-ceramic brakes here, which are standard fitments on its racier sibling. That doesn’t mean it’s not fast though, it still keeps the 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged
