SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) are one of Indonesia’s favorite vehicle choices, offering a combination of bold looks, driving comfort, and the ability to tackle various road conditions. Many SUVs are designed with high ground clearance and spacious cabins, making them perfect for families or drivers who frequently travel, whether in the city or on long trips.
Before buying an SUV, it’s important to understand the various types available on the market, from compact, crossover, and full-size to luxury SUVs—each with different characteristics and advantages depending on the user’s needs and lifestyle.
In this article, we’ll explore various SUV options from Chery, a Chinese automaker gaining attention in the Indonesian market. From high-tech models like the Omoda E5 to powerful SUVs like the Tiggo 8 Pro Max, and rising stars like the J6—complete with features, specifications, and available variants.
Compact SUVs, also called low or mini SUVs, are smaller in size with enough power for city driving. They target users who want the rugged look of an SUV but still prioritize practicality and efficiency for daily use. Their advantages include smaller dimensions, easy maneuverability, and better fuel economy compared to larger SUVs.
Chery offers three compact models: Tiggo 7 Pro, Omoda 5, and Omoda 5 GT. Measuring around 4,400–4,500 mm in length, they are easy to maneuver in heavy city traffic and fit into tight parking spaces. Despite their compact size, they still provide roomy cabins with modern SUV features like ADAS safety systems, 360° cameras, and advanced entertainment systems.
Midsize SUVs have larger dimensions and more powerful engines than compact SUVs. They offer a spacious cabin and greater comfort, especially for long-distance travel. Chery’s leading models in this category are the Chery Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 Pro.
Both offer premium comfort features such as a panoramic sunroof, premium audio systems, 7-passenger seating, and ADAS safety features.
Full-size SUVs, also called “true SUVs,” are the largest in their class. With powerful engines, they are built to carry many passengers and cargo while conquering various terrains. The Tiggo series includes full-size SUVs, with a highlight being the Tiggo 8 CSH (Comfort, Smart, Hybrid)—Chery’s latest hybrid SUV.
With a spacious 7-seater cabin and premium comfort features, the Tiggo 8 CSH is ideal for users seeking power, efficiency, and luxury. Recently, it achieved 500 Vehicle Orders (SPK) in a short time.
Luxury SUVs focus on elegance, advanced technology, and top-class comfort in addition to performance. Chery’s luxury lineup includes the Tiggo 8 Pro, Tiggo 8 Pro Max, and Tiggo 8 CSH.
Built for adventurers, off-road SUVs are designed for extreme terrains. They often have AWD or RWD, special drive modes, and higher ground clearance. Chery introduced the J6 EV—its first electric off-road SUV—at GJAW 2024.
With up to 426 km range and 0–100 km/h acceleration in just 6.5 seconds, the J6 EV is a tough yet modern choice for explorers. It also contributed to a 47% increase in EV sales in Indonesia earlier this year.
Crossover SUVs combine passenger car comfort with SUV toughness. Their sleek design and adequate ground clearance make them ideal for city use. Chery’s top picks here are the Omoda E5 and Tiggo Cross.
SUVs are designed for varied terrains with high ground clearance and often AWD, while MPVs (Multi Purpose Vehicles) focus more on passenger comfort and capacity—ideal for families and city trips.
With Chery’s diverse SUV lineup—ranging from practical compacts to modern crossovers, full-size, and luxury SUVs—all powered by class-leading engines and loaded with technology, there’s a perfect option for every lifestyle. Stylish design, powerful performance, fuel efficiency, and complete safety features make them ideal for daily use, family travel, or adventure.
