Chery Tiggo 4 Pro facelift sold as Tiggo Cross in SA

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?

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    That rear light signature should have been a weaving Proton used in their x70 facelift
