2024 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro: A New Contender in the Light SUV Segment

Chery Australia is gearing up to shake up the light SUV market with the introduction of its 2024 Tiggo 4 Pro, aimed directly at popular models like the Mazda CX-3 and Nissan Juke. With ultra-competitive pricing and a strong feature set, the Tiggo 4 Pro is poised to offer a compelling alternative for budget-conscious buyers without compromising on quality or technology.

Ultra-Competitive Pricing

One of the most exciting aspects of the Tiggo 4 Pro is its pricing. Chery is promising a “sub-$24,000” drive-away price for the base model, the Tiggo 4 Pro Urban. This aggressive pricing strategy is set to undercut major rivals in the segment. For comparison, the Mazda CX-3 starts at $26,950 before on-road costs, and the Nissan Juke begins at $28,890. Even the Toyota Yaris Cross, which is exclusively offered with a hybrid powertrain, starts from $30,900. By offering a well-equipped SUV at such a competitive price point, Chery is likely to attract a lot of attention from buyers looking for value.

Power and Performance

Under the hood, the 2024 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, delivering 108kW of power and 210Nm of torque. This engine is designed to offer a balanced mix of performance and efficiency, making the Tiggo 4 Pro a strong competitor in the light SUV category. The engine will be shared across both the Urban and the more upmarket Ultimate grades, although the latter is expected to come with a higher price tag due to additional features and luxury touches.

Size and Space

The Tiggo 4 Pro is slightly larger than some of its competitors, offering a comfortable and spacious interior without being overly bulky. Measuring 4200mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1570mm in height, with a 2555mm wheelbase, the Tiggo 4 Pro sits between the smaller Mazda CX-3 and the slightly larger Toyota Yaris Cross in terms of size. This makes it a versatile option for urban driving while still offering enough space for passengers and cargo.

Modern Features and Technology

Chery is packing the Tiggo 4 Pro with a host of modern features that are sure to appeal to tech-savvy drivers. A 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is one of the standout features, providing seamless connectivity for smartphones. Heated seats and seven airbags are also part of the package, along with a comprehensive array of driver assistance features. However, Chery Australia has yet to confirm which of these features will be standard and which will be reserved for the higher-grade Ultimate model.

Arrival and Availability

The 2024 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is expected to arrive in Australian showrooms by October 2024. It will join Chery’s expanding lineup, which includes the Omoda 5 small SUV, Tiggo 7 Pro mid-size SUV, and Tiggo 8 Pro Max large SUV. With the Tiggo 4 Pro’s competitive pricing, modern features, and solid performance, it’s set to become a strong contender in the light SUV segment.

Full pricing and specifications for the Tiggo 4 Pro will be revealed closer to its launch, so stay tuned for more details as Chery Australia continues to roll out this exciting new model. If you’re in the market for a new light SUV, the Tiggo 4 Pro is definitely one to watch.
