Chery Tiggo 4: This hybrid SUV costs less than 24,000 €

The Paris Motor Show will be the stage for Chery’s major launch in France. After announcing the prices of its Tiggo 7 and 8 models, the Chinese brand has now confirmed the price of its most affordable model, the Tiggo 4.

Primarily with the Jaecoo 5 and 7, as well as the Omoda 5, Chery has been the Chinese automaker that has grown fastest on the European continent over the past 18 months. It now enters the market with an even more affordable option, simply called Chery. The lineup currently consists solely of SUVs—classic models with solid construction, without fancy features or cutting-edge technology—but they come fully equipped at a very attractive price. The smallest model in the series follows the same formula.

A proven model

The Tiggo 4 is a mid-size SUV measuring 4.32 meters in length. It’s also a familiar name, having been launched in China back in 2017 as the Tiggo 5X. It has since undergone numerous updates to keep it current both technically and stylistically.

Its main competitors include the Jaecoo 5, Dacia Duster, MG ZS, etc. It features a universally appealing design and, for once, its trunk space hasn’t been compromised. With 430 liters, it’s almost on par with the Duster’s trunk volume, very close to that of the slightly larger C3 Aircross, and far better than the MG ZS’s 348 liters.

Starting from the base trim level, the Tiggo 4 comes equipped with essential features: a two-zone climate control system, keyless entry and start, rear ultrasonic sensors, a reverse camera, and a dual 12.3-inch display. It falls just short of claiming the title of the cheapest hybrid SUV on the market. Priced at 23,990 euros, it is 500 euros more expensive than its direct competitor, the MG ZS Hybrid+.

For an additional 2,000 euros, the higher trim level adds a faux-leather interior, front ultrasonic sensors, a heated steering wheel, electrically adjustable and heated front seats, 360-degree camera coverage, and a wireless phone charger. This version is likely to offer the best value for money in terms of equipment.

The hybrid powertrain is identical to that of all Chery Group’s B and C segment SUVs (Omoda 5, Jaecoo 5 and 7, Tiggo 7, etc.): 165 kW (224 hp) achieved through a combination of a 1.5 Turbo 4-cylinder engine producing 105 kW (143 hp), an electric motor delivering 150 kW (202 hp), and a 1.83 kWh battery.
