In the market for one of these?
Anton: For the budget conscious, Chinese-built models have become a more, let’s say, acceptable option these days. Aside from aggressive pricing strategies, these models typically come loaded with features and are bigger than similarly priced options.
It’ll be me and Assistant Managing Editor Leandre Grecia to choose which one of these comes out on top. As tested, the mildly electrified Tiggo 7 Pro retails for P1,350,000, while the Territory Titanium can be yours for P1,335,000.ALSO READ:Head-to-head: 2024 Honda CR-V RS e:HEV vs. 2024 Toyota RAV4 LTD HEVWhich do I go for: The Mitsubishi Mirage, Toyota Wigo, or Honda Brio?Anton: One could call the Chery’s styling a little bit on the conservative side.
If it’s practicality that takes priority, the Ford takes the cake. Okay, it doesn’t feel as premium or inviting as the Chery, but the Ford would be a better fit for families. More passenger room, more cargo space, and a tad more interior flexibility sways me towards the Territory.Leandre: I’m going to have to disagree with Anton on this one.
The ‘electrified’ powertrain doesn’t exactly feel like a full-on hybrid setup, but at least the Tiggo chugs less fuel than the Territory. With both highway driving and terrible city traffic, the Tiggo can yield about 11-12km/L while the Territory barely reaches 9km/L in the same conditions.Anton: It’s yet another effortless win for the Chery here. The seats are more supportive, the ride is better sorted out, and it’s more hushed around town and on the highway.
Both have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with wireless charging and a 360-degree view camera. The airbag count is the same, too, while traction control and stability control are also standard. However, I feel like I have to give the nod to the Chery. Yes, the features are identical, but these are a tad easier to use in the Tiggo 7 Pro.Leandre: It’s almost identical here across the board, with both crossovers offering similar safety tech and extra amenities.
