Chery confirms full details for new Tiggo 4 – here’s what you need to know
Chery is one of the hottest car brands in the UK right now and here at UK Carline, we’ve been getting excited about each new model that passes through our doors. The Chery experience looks set to get even better with the introduction of the new Tiggo 4.
The Tiggo 4 arrives as a compact crossover designed to rival the likes of the Volkswagen T-Roc and even the electric Kia EV3. We’ve got all of the details you need to know about it.
What is the Chery Tiggo 4?
The Chery Tiggo 4 arrives as the brand’s most compact model and one which sits underneath the larger 7, 8 and 9 cars. It means that now, if you’re after a slice of the Chery experience but don’t want to drive a large car, you’ve got an option.
The good news is that the Tiggo 4 comes with all the same great features as the larger models, including a broad range of safety assistance systems such as blind spot detection and rear collision warning. It’s covered by a standard seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty, too.
What is it powered by?
As with many other Chery models, you’ll find hybrid power at work in the Tiggo 4. It’s a regular hybrid, too, with no plans for a plug-in hybrid version to be introduced just yet. There’s a 1.5-litre petrol engine at its heart, linked to a small electric motor and a compact 1.83kWh battery. All versions get an automatic gearbox, too, and can travel on battery power for very short periods or at slow speeds, such as when you’re parking.
You should be able to manage around 50mpg, though this will be achieved if you’re mainly doing around-town driving, where that small electric motor can be used more often.
Are there many trim levels to choose from?
In what is a common theme with Chery cars, the list of available trim levels for the Tiggo 4 is kept nice and simple. In fact, there are just two – Aspire and Summit. With Aspire, you’re getting heated wing mirrors, electric windows and a rear-view parking camera, alongside dual 12.3-inch screens which get both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to make pairing your phone easy.
Step up to Summit and you’ll get a cooled wireless charging function, a 360-degree parking camera and an electrically adjustable driver’s seat. However, whichever trim you go for, you’ll be getting lots of equipment as standard.
What about boot space and practicality?
Practicality should be pretty respectable in the Tiggo 4, as with its boxy design, it should be able to offer a good amount of headroom. Chery says that with the rear seats folded down, you’ll get up to 1,155 litres of boot space to use up as well.
When it comes to dimensions, the Tiggo 4 measures 4.32 metres long, 1.83 metres wide and 1.65 metres tall. It makes it very similar in size to the Volkswagen T-Roc, in fact, which measures 4.37 metres long, 1.82 metres wide and 1.56 metres tall.
How much is it?
We’ve become quite used to Chery offering its cars at attractive prices and the Tiggo 4 is no different. Get one in entry-level Aspire trim and you’ll pay £19,995, while the higher-spec Summit comes in at £21,995. As mentioned, all cars get a comprehensive warranty and there’s an eight-year warranty on the battery, too.
We’ll be sure to let you know about the latest Tiggo 4 deals when they come through, but if you can’t wait and want to get behind the wheel of a Chery today, then we’re here to help.
