The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro has been confirmed for the Malaysian market, and the sub-B-segment SUV will slot in below the Omoda 5 in both size and price. Chery Malaysia told paultan.org at the ongoing 2024 Chery International Business Conference event that the Tiggo 4 will arrive in the first half of 2025.
The Tiggo 4 was part of Chery Malaysia’s first ever event – a media preview – back in October 2022, so it’s no surprise that the junior Tiggo will be making its way here. However, time has passed and the car we’re showing you now from Chery’s headquarters in Wuhu looks different from the Tiggo 4 from a couple of years back.
The latest 2024 facelift version of the Tiggo 4 has bolder face that consists of a larger and more angular studded grille, which is visually connected to vertical LED daytime running lights at the edges of the bumper. The headlamps are LEDs and the cluster is slimmer. Overall, the new face gives a wider impression, and it’s also more modern.
Like the fascia, the Tiggo 4’s profile and rear end are also more in-line with its bigger Tiggo siblings. The chrome lower border of the daylight opening now goes all the way to the back; this plus some black paint creates the ‘floating roof’ effect seen on the Tiggo 7 and Proton’s X SUVs. The two-tone five-spoke alloys look pretty small here, but are actually 17-inch items with 215/60 rubber.
For me, it’s the rear end changes that does most to transform the Tiggo 4, which looks so much more contemporary with a full-width bar containing fancy LED signatures and a fully spelled out Chery logo. Vertical reflectors at the bumper edges mirror the front LED DRLs. Check out the pre-facelift to see what we mean.
The pre-facelift Tiggo 4’s interior was a strong point for cars of this size/price, but it has been further modernised and now sports the conjoined screens seen in other Chery SUVs. Further down, the row of piano keys and the piano black AC control panel have been retained, but the vents are now full width. Shift-by-wire allows for a small knob and a big storage area below the centre console. The steering wheel retains the Chery emblem instead of the logotype on the other Tiggos, though.
The Tiggo 4 Pro is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 147 PS and 210 Nm of torque between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. That’s slightly lower than the Omoda 5’s 1.5T with 156 hp/230 Nm. The junior Tiggo’s entry-level engine has always been a 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-pot with, which is also available with a manual gearbox that some markets require.
What do you think of the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro? Its prospects will heavily depend on pricing, as buyers in the sub-RM100k market are more price sensitive than those buying a RM150k SUV. The T4 is sure to be priced below the century mark as the Omoda 5 starts from RM109k. Chery has a knack of surprising everyone with its prices though, so could this car retail between RM80k to RM90k?
For context, the Perodua Ativa – which has a 1.0-litre three-pot turbo engine – is priced from RM62,500 to RM72,600, while the 1.5L NA-powered Honda WR-V retails from RM90k to RM108k. It’s these two compact SUVs that Chery is targeting with the Tiggo 4 Pro.

Why eat rice when you can get full from eating grass?
Buy PRC brands when you have given up on life and wanna leave this world quick
Jepunis have better welder.
haiyooo…is the rear axle safe?
can brake? more interested in chery’s ev
From the way you commented, it is obviously you just want to make fun of their brake issue and show no interest to its car. The potential owners will make their own choices, you do not need to keep reminding them.
Ok ok. We don’t talk about brake. Let’s talk about welding.
Chery included a fail safe system called FSB = Flintstones Style Braking. For higher variants, there’s a seat eject button on steering wheel
Check out omoda 5 fb page. 2nd incident of rear axle putus for no reason. Yea, let those potential owners decide or cancel order
Korean cars used to use high quality materials with lower price to attract customers. But now, their prices are premium because they think they can compete with established premium brands. Now China cars offer even higher quality materials at even lower prices. It is just matter of time to replace over priced Jap cars if China cars can have good realibility.
korean car are now more expensive in malaysia because all of them are cbu lol and chinese car don’t offer ‘higher quality’ material is still the same plastic interior compared to all Japanese car maybe with some extra gadget.
Wrong. Middle kingdom may give better spec on paper but never good materials. This is why we have broken axle, brake failure, timing belt snapped at 30K km and broken rubber strips.
Chinese cars might look good inside and out and offer a lots of features with cheaper price, but their chassis isn’t as strong as modern Korean car.
Brek Topu
Broken axle and malfunction brake in a span of just 1 month. Better keep your hand off this Chinese brand for the few years to come. Smart people go for safety and reliability. Wrv and Ativa, Nexis and Yariz cross are the good option to spend your hard earn money.
How many weld points included?
Chinese car makers main strategy is always pricing and package. apart from that, they usually don’t do much.
Judging from comments on the web, can’t help, but they need to fix their car issues real quick.
But this Tiggo 4 Pro FL is really better option in terms of performance compared to Honda and P2. I would definitely go for this one, should I need extra fun on the road.
But I will check all essential welding points and might add some extra welding and check the car braking trustworthiness before going crazy on the road.
rm80k~90k yeah got potential buyers. The 3 other rivals
wrv – expensive, dated interior, no turbo
x50 – 3 cylinder timing belt, high fuel/maintenance, no AA/AP
ativa – 3 cylinder, bugging eco idle, lousy acc/aeb, no AA/AP
Next time you see a Chery on the road, turn around and run away. Do be infront of it, dont stay behind of it.
more choices for customers but JPJ must ensure the vehicles road worthiness!
Where’s pro-palestine? Faster come out back up our buah ceri! Teruk kena hentam ni
I’m sure this one will be better than the #Omoda5 , the axle arm won’t break easily, and the computer system will allow you to stop your car when you depress the break padel. Right #Chery ?
