The Chery Tiggo Cross has been launched in South Africa, among Chery’s strongest markets. It’s basically the latest Tiggo 4 Pro facelift 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 pre-facelift 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 a 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, plus a 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 DCT (the pre-facelift T4P launched in SA in 2021 with MT and CVT gearboxes; a DCT option joined the range this year).
The junior Tiggo has been confirmed for Malaysia – what do you think we should call it when it arrives next year? Tiggo Cross or Tiggo 4 Pro?

Beautiful, plenty of physical buttons. 1.5 Turbo. ADAS. nice and simple design both inside and outside.
That rear light signature should have been a weaving Proton used in their x70 facelift
Looks like Myvi
Please price is correctly to local market competition the Ativa.
Chery is selling like hot cakes in south africa. See it every where. Surprisingly got quite a number of Proton also on the road
another good option rather than T & H badge.
excellent, now it gonna give the ativa a fight and the too over-priced wrv a run for its money … tiggo-4 will do just fine …
