At this week’s Beijing motor show, Chery will reveal a new flagship SUV called the Tiggo V, which promises an extremely versatile interior.
The fresh teaser you see here appears to line up with the Tiggo V concept quietly revealed in Kuwait back in January, a large, boxy SUV with styling similar to last year’s 6=1 ‘Transformable Multi-SUV’ concept.
Chery says the Tiggo V is a “core global model” with a “transformable vehicle concept”, featuring “flexible seating and configurable interior space” that allows it to be transitioned from an urban commuter to a “capable weekend adventure vehicle or a functional load carrier”.

The Chinese brand also promises the Tiggo V will have an efficient powertrain, a spacious cabin, advanced in-car technology, and “capability across a variety of road conditions”.
For now, however, there’s no confirmation on specifications including dimensions, nor what kind of powertrain it will use. Full details will be confirmed following its reveal at the Beijing show, which starts this Friday (April 24).
It’s unclear how closely it will follow the 6=1 concept, a three-row SUV measuring 4.9 metres long – 100mm longer than the Tiggo 9 – which features a removable rear hardtop.
Chery claims the 6=1 concept features six distinct interior and exterior layouts, including a ‘Double-Cab Pickup Mode’ with a cargo bed featuring 600 litres of storage space, four tie-down points, and adjustable dividers.
There’s also a ‘Camper Mode’ that supports accessories such as awnings and pop-up roof tents.
Unlike the Deepal E07, which can be transformed from an SUV into a quasi-ute with the push of a button, the 6=1 has a manually removable hardtop that weighs 30kg and takes 25 minutes to remove without power tools.
The Tiggo V shown in Kuwait has a similarly boxy body but appears to lack this unusual rear canopy.
It’s possible Chery will use the Beijing show to reveal a new, production-ready large SUV with a cleverly configurable cabin, but without a manually removable hardtop.
