On December 6th, the Chery Explore 06 Urban Edition was officially launched, with a price range of 11.99-12.99 million yuan. The vehicle is positioned as a compact SUV crossover, with two models available, both of which are two-wheel drive versions. The main difference between this new model and other versions lies in the front-end design, which features a large-sized waterfall-style grille. In addition, a new Explore 06 Adventure Edition was also introduced at the event, priced at 144,900 yuan (20280$), and equipped with 17-inch AT tires and a 14.8-inch interactive digital screen.

The Chery Tiggo 6 City version still features a horizontal and vertical line design, with dimensions of 4538mm in length, 1898mm in width, 1680mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2672mm.
The changes in the front of the Chery Explore 06 urban version are very obvious. It uses a large-sized straight waterfall-style grille, also known as the vertical harp rhythmic middle grille, which enhances the delicacy of the front end, and the grille is equipped with the English Chery logo. The split-type headlights are arranged in an upper and lower split layout, especially the rectangular light groups on the lower sides highlight a tough feeling.
The side of the car remains consistent with other versions, but the silver protective panel has been removed and a long, thin black decorative strip has been added for embellishment. The urban version of the Explore 06 features a new style of wheels, with black and silver five-spoke rims that are full of tension. The straight and curved roof line, with a suspended roof design, enhances the overall sporty feel of the vehicle.
The rear of the car remains unchanged, with a large size spoiler, through-type taillights, and angular lines. To highlight the mild off-road temperament, the rugged and powerful rear bumper echoes the front face, and the heavy black rear crash beam further enhances the tough style of the front face.
In terms of interior, the Chery Tiggo 6 Urban Edition continues the overall design style and configuration of the entire series, using a large number of horizontal and vertical lines to create a tough feeling, such as the large rectangular IP platform, vertical rectangular air conditioning vents, and the air conditioning vent shape that crosses the entire center console.
The car is equipped with a 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel and a 13.2-inch central control screen, making the overall operation smooth. In terms of configuration, it adopts mainstream configurations such as aviation-style electronic gearshift, suspended vertical central control screen, full LCD instrument panel, 8155 car chip, 540° high-definition panoramic image, full vehicle OTA, 50W wireless fast charging for mobile phones, and 8-speaker SONY audio system.
The car has a strong sense of presence and is competitive in its class of 100,000. The interior uses a lot of metal trim to create a modern and technological atmosphere.
In terms of power, the TSN 06 urban version is equipped with a 1.6T engine, with a maximum power of 145 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 290 Newton-meters, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The urban version of the Explore 06 has an approach angle of 21 degrees, a departure angle of 29 degrees, a ground clearance of 200mm, and a water wading depth of 600mm, which is much higher than the parameters of urban SUVs. It can truly challenge some complex road conditions. The chassis of the urban version of the Explore 06 uses front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, paired with three driving modes. The urban version of the Explore 06 is mainly aimed at urban commuting and its off-road capability is mainly formed by the high ground clearance. In summary, the launch of the urban version of the Explore 06 has improved the diversity of choices for consumers. This price can become the first car in life and family, and its purpose of supporting sales is very obvious. The appearance is rugged, and the technological content is high. It is definitely a cost-effective model. Chery has absolute strength in the competition for the compact SUV market in the 100,000 yuan (13990$) category.
