I took my neice to look at the Tigo today as her first new car. I went along not expecting much at all with very low expectations especially after owning an MG ZS EV for a short time. I was absolutely amazed at what this car offered and all for just 27k drive away. I honestly think any other new car competing with the Tigo in size is just way over priced and not worth the thousands more. This little car give the imediate impression of a well built car and once on the road that is reinforced. We did 40km on a road test driving on the freeway and on very ordinary rural roads. I was surprised at the composure it displayed and it only got a bit unsettled at 100kph on some very choppy road surfaces unlike our old MG ZS which was terrible. Road noise was acceptable and comparable to our 23 Rav4 Cruiser. With a decent set of tyres the road noise could be reduced even more and the handling improved as the chassis outperforms the standard tyres. You realy need to put any preconceived ideas on Chinese vehicles aside when looking at the tigo as this little car is punching above it's weight. It is not perfect but none in this segment are. It is cheap initially and is one of if not the cheapest new cars to service considering the prices are capped for the first 7 service's. I think the Korean's and Japanese should be worried as it looks like Chery at least know what they are doing and are serious about making a decent car.
Ive had my tiggo 4 pro for a few weeks now and really like it so far. For me it was the best option for the money i had but i will probably only keep it for 2 or 3 years. Love all of the safety stuff and even at 8ish liters per 100ks its far better on fuel than the 2016 cruze i had before (9.5 of ron95, not able to use 91 in that car). They probably wont be for everyone but for a uni student with a tight budget this ticked all of my boxes.
In the South African car market, no car comes close to this one in terms of performance, luxury for the price - was my wife’s choice out of all the models she tested - 3yrs later and zero problems
TIGGO 4 PRO has wireless carplay and wireless android auto. First you need to turn on the hotspot of the vehicle, then connect your phone to the Bluetooth,then you can connect to the wireless.I know this car quite well because I got it on October 18 and have been driving it for a month.
Test drove one of em.. i was sooooooooooo impressed with this one.. its small but punch enough.. it was quiet and comfy enough for me during test driving up to 80-90km/h in urban roads and streets.. the wireless connection with my phone was smooth.. not bad at all..
I have to correct you as the Tiggo 4 does have wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard. I have it in the Ultimate but I understand the Urban also has it. I took a Hyundai Venue for a test drive and found the Tiggo to be much better (the Venue was also around $7K dearer.)
I commented previously that I have wireless Android Auto in my Tiggo 4 Pro Urban. Recently, while experimenting with vehicle settings, I turned off the WiFi Hotspot. I had to turn it on again to get my wireless Android Auto back talking. Since then, I drove to Berry on the NSW South Coast. I tried to drive in Eco mode and found the following Serious Limitations: 1. Between 94 -100 km/h, when I pushed the accelerator to increase speed, Nothing Happened, then the car Took Off, anything but Eco. (Not using Cruise Control.) 2. Descending some of the steepish hills, the numbers for speed and revs changed from Green to Red. As I was wearing distance sunnies, I wasn't able to read the indications on the dashboard and I was so distracted that the driver monitor told me to pay attention, which I was attempting to do. On point 2, I don't believe that the current software is fit for purpose in Australia. On the return journey I used Sport mode and the vehicle was drivable.
Thanks Matt. At this price there are few competitors.. A Japanese alternative could include the Mitsubishi ASX, which you can get as low as $26k, and could maybe bust the chops of the dealer to get it down to $24k. Or go Korean with the Hyundai Venue at $26.5k? Also, GWM have just reduced the Jolion Premium to $23,990 driveaway. Which do you think is better out of the Jolion and Tiggo 4?
Thanks mate. Yep, I just can’t cop the ancient interior and dull drive of the ASX - but as a reliable car it’ll do the job. Venue also okay, but poor transmission. Jolion price cut is clearly aiming to entice Tiggo buyers. It is a good car - I’ve done a review of it. It has some annoying elements. And both have frustrating safety tech. I mean, Jolion has a few years of sales and bugs ironed out … so probably it, if you like the look of it enough to buy one. But I like the look of the Chery more!
@@zhanhonglu903 Many people don't care about a cars technology and are repelled by the over use of technology in some cars. Such people care more about drivability, durability, reliability, practicality, resale value and efficiency. Some like it to be a little fun to drive corners too. On that set of criteria, the ASX would score 6/7. In manual transmission form, it might even get 6.5/7.
Hello Matt We just test drove the Tiggo 4 The deal breaker was for me was that the passenger and driver door had a delay not allowing us to get out straight away. took a couple of attempts to open them. The sales person also said he noticed it happened to him on a test drive, he said it was probably a safety feature??? When the car is burning and you need to exit in a hurry somehow I don't think so!!! Did you or anyone else find the same problem?
Hey I've been looking into this and the Haval Jolion, which one do you think is better? I've been looking at the 27k models. Any other car around this price point do you recommend? I test drove the Picanto but I did not enjoy it at all.
Lift up the boot liner and you will see a crazy criss cross of wires and connectors… truly awful. I’m amazed they build them like this. Chery must fix this for me to consider one.
Hope that won't be the deal breaker for many people, but yes, other than this the tiggo 4 pro absolutely annihilates any of the competitors in its segment (maybe not so much for Jolion tho, considering the standard equipment and drivetrain etc...). I don't understand why people would prefer Hyundai Venue or Kia Stonic (ASX is okay but everything else seems so obsolete) as they absolutely have nothing remarkable with poor build quality (100% expecting any non-Chinese companies to do this to their low-end vehicles) and are so dull to drive with such underpowered engines and poor chassis. Chery by far should be the indigenous Chinese company with the highest build quality on average and that's gonna be the consensus among Chinese customers in our domestic market. Btw, tiggo 8 pro max is equipped with a 180kw & 375nm 2.0T engine (the LHD version in China has 187kw & 390nm) like can you even believe that and it only sells for like
Why did this not come with the facelifted rear end? It looks a lot more attractive than this and the rear light bar fits in with the rest of the Chery line up
@ interesting, I have checked their latest spec sheet this morning and there’s no Sony on it. But when I search up the older version of spec sheet there is Sony sound system, they must have secretly got rid of that.
Tiggo is more practical, and more modern feeling thanks to the tech inside. If you value those things, and it’s just between those two, then the Tiggo wins. If you want better resale potential and a more stable and established network for maintenance, and you can deal with a smaller body and interior, and you want to be more involved with the driving experience, it’s the one.
I like the look of the Tiggo more. And you buy with your eyes, right? Jolion is enticing but I don’t think I’d buy it over the Chery. But honestly, I’d spend more and get a Skoda Kamiq.
All those electrical cables under the boot mat remind me of the “ spaghetti junction “ of wires in the plethora of Alfas I have owned over the last 40 years . Not a worry tho !

Thanks for the review! Quick question, my partner and I are in the market for a new small SUV. I have been tossing up between the MG ZST, Skoda Kamiq and this one. We are wanting a petrol small SUV that is a bit of a all rounder as we live in the city (Brisbane) but wanting to still go on road trips. The only worry for me with these options is car maintenance and part availability if there is a problem… what would you best recommend for a budget but something that we would want to own for 10+ years ☺️ thanks again
@@kindness-villain To me it’s one of the cheapest small SUV’s on the market, great warranty and looks nice. Obviously a couple of downers, but still very good for a budget car
Want to buy a car which will last next 10yrs? Well thats a bit ambitious on the Chinese cars with unknown reliabilities, parts availability, how smooth the claimed warranty will work through.. etc If i were you I might go for a second hand Japanese or Korean car first with around same prices and wait for about 2-3yrs to see how good these Chinese cars are.. And Japanese or Korean cars wouldnt depreciate as much as Chinese cars when you sell the car and buy a new one or trade-in.. eg after 6months a Chinese car will depreciate at least around 30% straight away.. it will be around 50-60% depreciated in 2-3yrs time so, you can do the simple calculation on it..
@@JP-hh2qj Everyone says Chinese cars depreciate 50% in 2 years but I'm not seeing 2-year-old Haval Jolions for $12k in the second-hand market. Brand new d/a is $24k, 2-3 y.o. second-hand are $19-21k + stamp duty. It's a very low depreciation compared to any other car.
Someone plse talk about engine problems, electronic issues, gearbox problems already at 10 000 km, suspension and other issues, including service tech people not knowing how to sort issues, etc, incl tailgate stop working. I wanted so much to buy this car, but first googling potential problems with this car, owners tell scary stories and basically why should buy new car with engine or gearbox issues?
I suspect you won’t have to worry about the dash creaks in 10 years time. It’ll be in the wrecking yard before then. That said, I like the spare wheel and the manual rear mirror. The auto dimming mirrors never work anyway. Is cheap but looks it too.
Loud indicators must be a feature of Chinese cars. Haval Jolion indicators are also loud, and interestingly, the loudness is different between petrol and hybrid versions.
I am actually looking forward to Chery’s sub-brand Jaecoo J7 (aka 探索06 or like Discovery 06) as it has reportedly the best-in-class chassis & architecture and build quality of ICE vehicles that’s sold under ¥150000 (~$30000) in our domestic market. I have seen the chassis and architecture and it’s so upmarket that you can probably only get to the similar level with a $50000-$65000 equivalent Euro/American or Japanese/Korean SUV. In one of the Chinese social media app I have seen a dude posted the average fuel consumption of his 探索06 and it gets 4.4l/100km with average speed of 50km/h shown on the dashboard😂, that’s fking crazy for an ICE car (in fact Chery does have arguably the best 1.6T-2.0T petrol engine range in China, Hongqi probably has the best ones but I am not entirely sure), maybe this one is on the extreme side but the highest figures I have seen for 探索06 is like 8.4l/100km in urban conditions on average. Maybe J7 will have a driveaway price of a similar level to Tiggo 7 Pro but it certainly excels more than Tiggo 7. Jaecoo J7 is currently available in New Zealand and I have seen a car reviewer taking it to a test drive and concluded that it does a better job noticeably in some areas with the other aspects being on an equivalent level to a Mazda CX-5 or Subaru Forester.
@@MRDARKTURKEY Yes so pretty much each of the mainstream Tiggo series will have a more luxurious 'companion' branded under Jaecoo. Interestingly the Jaecoo J8 is actually just a Tiggo 9 sold in the Chinese domestic market that has been renamed in the overseas market to adapt to the different marketing campaign strategies. Honestly, the most anticipated model I hope that Chery can bring to oz is the Arrizo 8 sedan with the same 2.0T engine found on Tiggo 8 Pro Max paired with the Chery-made 孚祯8AT torque converter (this is arguably the first mass-produced indigenous Chinese AT transmission and the build quality and performance is on par with Aisin and ZF), like that 187kw & 390Nm figures potentially with a below $50k price will definitely be extremely competitive compared to let's say similar opponents in the segment like Hyundai i30 N-line (I am not gonna say the N model cuz that serves a different purpose in Hyundai's lineup but Arrizo 8 with the equipment under the bonnet that I listed above is really likely only a little bit less attractive, and of course Chery's interior will outclass Hyundai easily even if it's i30 N premium or something). Arrizo 8 is also reportedly very fuel-efficient according to many Chinese customers (for reference, the WLTC official figure is 7.2L/100km, real-world figures that I saw are fluctuating between 6-8.5L/100km) despite these crazily high figures for a family sedan.
In my street there are 9 Indian and 4 Chinese migrants reside.. All Indian families are driving Toyotas and All Chinese families are driving Mercedes BMW Toyota and Hyundai.. So that gave me a firm idea I might have better to buy TOYOTA or HYUNDAI.. I love my neighbours..
@@JP-hh2qj I mean if you really like any of their cars from first glance and went to test drive one yourself and found everything to be on the bright side especially being affordable, then go for it without a doubt. For me personally, I would just ignore any of the Japanese (even including Lexus or Infiniti, it's just my choice) or Korean cars (don't know about Genesis but it's definitely aimed higher than my budget for a first car) in the
The Chinese automakers will eliminate all the major manufacturers in 10 years time. Stingy automakers like Toyota need to re think about their existence
Tiggo was the J11 had no respect for the road cause traffic jams made me late for the bus, rather give sixty cents to ride the bus won't make me impatient by traffic jams not be an immature lout got behind an old Chery J3.
Chery has bad engineering on their vehicles. It is not possible for a Chery owner to change a blown headlamp or brake lamp. This can only be done with an expensive dealer visit.
GF got one a few weeks ago and can’t fault it for what it is. All the wannabe whingers forget it’s a 23k car and if you want a Mercedes outcome, go buy one!!

I think the Skoda is a better choice. Sometimes paying more is the better decision.
If you can afford it, you should do it.
Someone plse talk about engine problems, electronic issues, gearbox problems already at 10 000 km, suspension and other issues, including service tech people not knowing how to sort issues, etc, incl tailgate stop working. I wanted so much to buy this car, but first googling potential problems with this car, owners tell scary stories and basically why should buy new car with engine or gearbox issues?
Best cheap suv on the market. Love mine
One rear air vent says it all.
I suspect you won’t have to worry about the dash creaks in 10 years time. It’ll be in the wrecking yard before then. That said, I like the spare wheel and the manual rear mirror. The auto dimming mirrors never work anyway. Is cheap but looks it too.
Are you sposored by any brand you reveiw?
Of course he is, paid by China, the comments section full of 50 cent army is so obvious as well
Ten years of hard driving ?
I get out at 5 ...
For $28k you can get an auto Suzuki Vitara. Better resale, better reliability but less farkles.
Very old, terrible screen, poor engine and average gearbox. But good car.
anyone figured out how to turn off the indicator sound? it's too loud and annoying lol
You sound like a person that doesn’t use indicators, anyway.
@@kennethprocak5176 No I do, by the very nature of my question I do.
Loud indicators must be a feature of Chinese cars. Haval Jolion indicators are also loud, and interestingly, the loudness is different between petrol and hybrid versions.
Best value car on the market, name something better for the price.
A three-year-old Hyundai Kona electric. :D
@@therightcar New I mean, probably plenty of others too.
Ummm, pretty sure it does have wireless CarPlay and android auto….
I will stick with the Suzuki Ignis GLX for that price range
Can it tow a boat ❤
The ANCAP rating is pointless when cars with average to poor passenger safety get 5 stars by having driver assistance rubbish get them over the line.
Great looking zippy for the price.
Cant go wrong.
I am actually looking forward to Chery’s sub-brand Jaecoo J7 (aka 探索06 or like Discovery 06) as it has reportedly the best-in-class chassis & architecture and build quality of ICE vehicles that’s sold under ¥150000 (~$30000) in our domestic market. I have seen the chassis and architecture and it’s so upmarket that you can probably only get to the similar level with a $50000-$65000 equivalent Euro/American or Japanese/Korean SUV. In one of the Chinese social media app I have seen a dude posted the average fuel consumption of his 探索06 and it gets 4.4l/100km with average speed of 50km/h shown on the dashboard😂, that’s fking crazy for an ICE car (in fact Chery does have arguably the best 1.6T-2.0T petrol engine range in China, Hongqi probably has the best ones but I am not entirely sure), maybe this one is on the extreme side but the highest figures I have seen for 探索06 is like 8.4l/100km in urban conditions on average. Maybe J7 will have a driveaway price of a similar level to Tiggo 7 Pro but it certainly excels more than Tiggo 7. Jaecoo J7 is currently available in New Zealand and I have seen a car reviewer taking it to a test drive and concluded that it does a better job noticeably in some areas with the other aspects being on an equivalent level to a Mazda CX-5 or Subaru Forester.
I’m certainly intrigued as to how it all pieces together. They’ve set themselves an interesting puzzle in Australia!
We will also have J5 at some point next year, closer in price and dimensions with a Tiggo4 pro
@@MRDARKTURKEY Yes so pretty much each of the mainstream Tiggo series will have a more luxurious 'companion' branded under Jaecoo. Interestingly the Jaecoo J8 is actually just a Tiggo 9 sold in the Chinese domestic market that has been renamed in the overseas market to adapt to the different marketing campaign strategies. Honestly, the most anticipated model I hope that Chery can bring to oz is the Arrizo 8 sedan with the same 2.0T engine found on Tiggo 8 Pro Max paired with the Chery-made 孚祯8AT torque converter (this is arguably the first mass-produced indigenous Chinese AT transmission and the build quality and performance is on par with Aisin and ZF), like that 187kw & 390Nm figures potentially with a below $50k price will definitely be extremely competitive compared to let's say similar opponents in the segment like Hyundai i30 N-line (I am not gonna say the N model cuz that serves a different purpose in Hyundai's lineup but Arrizo 8 with the equipment under the bonnet that I listed above is really likely only a little bit less attractive, and of course Chery's interior will outclass Hyundai easily even if it's i30 N premium or something). Arrizo 8 is also reportedly very fuel-efficient according to many Chinese customers (for reference, the WLTC official figure is 7.2L/100km, real-world figures that I saw are fluctuating between 6-8.5L/100km) despite these crazily high figures for a family sedan.
In my street there are 9 Indian and 4 Chinese migrants reside.. All Indian families are driving Toyotas and All Chinese families are driving Mercedes BMW Toyota and Hyundai.. So that gave me a firm idea I might have better to buy TOYOTA or HYUNDAI.. I love my neighbours..
@@JP-hh2qj I mean if you really like any of their cars from first glance and went to test drive one yourself and found everything to be on the bright side especially being affordable, then go for it without a doubt. For me personally, I would just ignore any of the Japanese (even including Lexus or Infiniti, it's just my choice) or Korean cars (don't know about Genesis but it's definitely aimed higher than my budget for a first car) in the
SKODA FOR ME PLEASE
The Chinese automakers will eliminate all the major manufacturers in 10 years time. Stingy automakers like Toyota need to re think about their existence

Tiggo was the J11 had no respect for the road cause traffic jams made me late for the bus, rather give sixty cents to ride the bus won't make me impatient by traffic jams not be an immature lout got behind an old Chery J3.
Chery has bad engineering on their vehicles. It is not possible for a Chery owner to change a blown headlamp or brake lamp. This can only be done with an expensive dealer visit.
Kia picanto as an alternative? Really? Kind of a pointless comparison.
It’s cheap. This is cheap.
It’s small. This is small.
It has a 7 year warranty. So does this.
I’d buy the Picanto instead, personally.
Having driven both the Tiggo 4 is a no brainer.
The Picanto is effectively a 10 year old platform with a considerably less powerful drivetrain.
@@Zeke2117a proven platform made by a reputable car company which will last if taken care of.
Chery is the Kmart of cars. Absolute piles
@@therightcarI have a 22 Picanto GT manual and would own this over the Picanto.
@@YZJB chery is a car company for 30 years in china ,they always produce the best reliable cars.
GF got one a few weeks ago and can’t fault it for what it is. All the wannabe whingers forget it’s a 23k car and if you want a Mercedes outcome, go buy one!!
Why? Why? Why? I wanted a review on the Cherry Tiggo.... not a sales pitch on alternatives costing thousands more. Not sure how this approach would help do anything but reduce trust and views. Is it only me?
Are Chinese cars really that good? 🤔 Somehow I personally don't think so.
This is another video of Cherry Tiggo’s Rear Axel failure:
