Design
It looks ultramodern and mannish but not exorbitantly designed. There are some cleverly integrated red accents that makes it look sporty, there are also some cool looking black side skirtings on the Elite models.
Interior
This is where the Tiggo outshines its challengers. It looks ultramodern and feels solidly put together, like what you would anticipate from much more expensive German car makers.
The Drive
The power delivery of the 1.5 turbo 4 cylinder petrol is exceptional and the CVT gearbox is flawless. Suspension has been setup for comfort and doesn’t have inordinate body roll at all. Steering is well weighted, specifically if you set the steering to sport mode. The steering and gearbox have an Eco and Sport Mode, with sport mode tightening up the steering and allowing the gearbox to take a bit longer between shifts.
Other features include DRL’s; child seat ISOFIX points; Traction Control; Hill Decent Control; Automatic Head Lights; Automatic Wipers; Rear PDC and Camera; Dual Zone Climate Control; AppleCarPlay and Android Auto the list goes on.
The package overall and what you get for your hard earned cash is seriously next level.
Pricing starts at around R274,900 for the entry Level Urban Manual model all the way up to R364,900 for the range topping Chery Tiggo 4 Pro Elite SE CVT
For that peace of mind you get a 5 years/150,000 km warranty and 5 years/60,000km service plan in the mix.
Following the first 5 years/150,000km warranty the extended 5 year/850,000km engine warranty takes over. Exceptional stuff from Chery indeed
