The Chery Tiggo Cross has been launched in South Africa, one of Chery’s strongest markets. It’s basically the latest facelift of the Tiggo 4 Pro we saw in China back in April. Bigger grille, vertical LED DRLs, slimmer headlamps and tiger-striped tail lamps bridged by an LED light bar – they’re all there.
This vehicle will replace the T4P in other markets, but in South Africa it’s being sold alongside it, slotting between the T4P and the Tiggo 7 Pro.
The Tiggo Cross is offered in Comfort (ZAR400k, RM99k) and Elite (ZAR450k, RM111k) variants. The former gets six airbags, 17-inch alloys, electric-folding mirrors, auto LED head and fog lamps, an LED rear light bar and chrome exhausts.
Meanwhile, the Elite gets seven airbags (including centre airbag), ADAS, red callipers peeking through 18-inch alloys, a panoramic sunroof, a 360 camera and heated/electric front seats.
Inside, it’s as per the T4P facelift – one long screen to cover both driver and passenger, air vents across the length of the dashboard, stubby gear lever courtesy of shift-by-wire. Under the bonnet is a 147 PS/210 Nm 1.5 litre turbo four-banger that’s mated to a six-speed twin-clutcher.
The car’s been confirmed for Malaysia – what do you think we should call it when it arrives next year? Tiggo Cross or Tiggo 4 Pro?
