Small SUV Chery Tiggo 4 confirmed for Australia

Chery's smallest model will debut in Australia by year's end.

By the end of the year, Chery's smallest and most cheap SUV, the 2025 Tiggo 4, will hit Australian dealerships.

The Tiggo 4, a compact SUV to compete with the Hyundai Kona and GWM Haval Jolion, is six centimeters shorter bumper-to-bumper than the Australian Chery Omoda 5.

The Omoda 5 was announced in 2021, however the Chery Tiggo 4 was sold in China in 2017 as the Tiggo 5x and has received three style revisions.

The Australian version is projected to be the newest facelifted version launched immediately after the 2024 Beijing auto show, featuring Omoda 5-like dual displays and restyled front and back fascias.

Since it's smaller than the Omoda 5, the Tiggo 4 may cost less than its $33,990 drive-away starting price.

Chery would have a stronger competitor to sub-$30,000 compact SUVs like GWM Haval Jolion non-hybrids ($28,490 to $36,990 drive-away).

In right-hand-drive countries like as South Africa, the Tiggo 4 is offered with the Omoda 5's 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine generating 108kW/210Nm.

"We'll obviously have [the electric Omoda] E5 as the next cab off the rank, and then Tiggo 4, which will be this side of Christmas," Chery Australia COO Lucas Harris told Drive.

"We're just working through some of the finer details for that at the moment, and as the details firm up a bit we'll share more."

Few Tiggo 4 photographs have been posted online, all from Chinese media preview event participants, not Chery.

The redesigned Tiggo 4 in outside markets has a new front fascia identical to the Tiggo 9 SUV offered in China, as well as a full-width LED tail-light bar with 'CHERY' branding.

Inside, there is now a pair of huge screens for instrumentation and infotainment — combined into one broad panel – with a smaller electronic gear selector.
