Hybrid cars are suitable for daily urban use. Yet they remain reliable for long-distance trips because of fuel-efficient usage.

In Indonesia Chery is one of the manufacturers offering hybrid cars. Its model options are quite varied, making it easier for consumers to choose a unit.

In HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) technology or full hybrid, Chery offers the Tiggo Cross CSH Hybrid.

For short-distance or urban car usage, the electric motor becomes the main driver. However, when vehicle speed increases, such as on highways, the combustion engine starts to take over.

In a hybrid car, drivers can also experience something like an electric car through regenerative braking.

This converts braking energy into electricity and stores it in the battery. So no energy is wasted.

The power source switching process in the car also occurs automatically. Thus consumers do not need to select manually.

Furthermore, Chery Indonesia also offers PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) models. Through the Chery TIGGO 8 CSH and 9 CSH.

Both SUVs have larger battery capacities. Thus they can travel farther relying solely on the electric motor.

For the Chery TIGGO 9 CSH, it is claimed that its electric-only range can exceed 180 km.
