2025 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro review: 0-100 & POV test drive

[@kmuinde]

Very nice for everyday use, 7 years factory warranty it’s priced very well

[@edwardmorris2231]

$24k this might actually make sense for a runabout

[@stendecstretcher5678]

I agree most cars a crap these days no matter what brand. Just buy the cheapest.

[@edwardmorris2231]

Yeah as long as it's safe this would be a great town car

[@André__Vasconcelos__Sá]

But which New car at 24k beat this ? Is not a bad prive for the market

[@chillian1985]

have to say the dash area is so nice for the price.,..Chery stepped up its interior design game here

[@humoursque8447]

Ideal for city and suburb driving with speed limit of 50km to 80km in most roads. Good safety rating, 7 yrs warranty and modern technology. Not exactly anaemic with 1.5 turbo. You cant buy a Japanese for that price.

[@jameschinn5137]

Amazing value, I bought a Nissan Micra nearly 30 years ago for over $20k+ on the road.

[@paulklp8262]

It was like 16k for a Corolla back then so you got ripped off

[@GlowingTube]

This will destroy cars like the MG3, Swift, lower priced Hyundais and Kia’s. I predict it will start a price war with the other Chinese brands and hurt established brands who have jacked up their prices.

[@Keza82]

Lets hope so!!!

[@aus-reviews8462]

its heap a shit compared to a tucson but it is 20k cheaper

[@bboystretch7788]

[@nicholasmatthews5989]

2:53 Wow, although it is a cheaply priced SUV impressively it actually has gas struts for the bonnet. Wonder how many cars in this price range would have bonnet gas struts?? It reminds me, as I recall, that one time the Mk7 Golf GTI had gas struts, then VW went cheap with the Mk8 GTI and got rid of the gas struts and now has a prop rod, and the updated Mk8.5 still has the prop rod. Also, the T-Cross and T-Roc only have prop rods.

[@subarus6]

Who cares? Do you consider gas struts to be luxurious? It's another thing that will need maintenance. I've never seen a car with a broken prop rod. I've had cars with gas struts that don't stay up.

[@Drakesy]

Thank god we dont have ford or holden lobbyists anymore to restrict our access to cheap cars.

[@jordancooper9021]

I went and put a depost on one today and I can't wait to get it!!

[@Dieu_regne]

Saw it for the first time today at a dealership, very impressed. Basically the same size as a CX-5 for a fraction of the cost. Enjoy your new car, and please let us know your ownership experience.

[@chestylaruuu]

Me too what color did u go with

[@mindfreeze0838]

Nice to see the Tiggo 4 in this market. Its a great small crossover thats packed with features. The boot isnt bad, the price is great but the fuel effeiency isnt the best, but since the Fronx isnt heafing to this market anytime soon its the best bet right now.

[@Paradoxical124]

Thats quite good, much better than that terrible mg3

[@fairgo4156]

That what I was thinking

[@bobbrown3471]

The shape of it reminds me of the Holden Trax we used to have.

[@Dieu_regne]

Looked like you left the aircon on during the acceleration test? 10 seconds seems pretty good with 2 people on board.

[@abhijitjain492]

waiting for mine, will arrive soon

[@RodneyW]

As you say, this is very, very cheap by modern standards - so the question has to be asked - what has been cut in order to sell it - with all of that kit - at this price? The underbody shot at 1:15 shows some rough joins underbody, and the torsion beam itself looks a bit small, but it is hard to tell if this is significant. I'd love to have a more detailed inspection on a hoist, side by side with a more expensive competitor. Regardless, I suspect that - as the MG ZS goes up in price soon - this will sell very well indeed.

[@daweigo6851]

Or the question could be why are legacy brands charging so much?

[@RodneyW]

@@daweigo6851 When I look at gross profit margins for Mazda / Nissan or Toyota, I'm not seeing that they are profiteering, especially at the cheaper end of the market. It is well-known that manufacturing in Japan or Europe or America incurs a higher cost base for labour than China. That might explain a 10% variance in cost of the finished product. The remaining part is unclear to me.

[@OldManMick]

No crash test results yet either. Wonder if they are deliberately delaying or avoiding this?

[@geoffh784]

​@@RodneyW Wages are a bigger percentage of cost than that... it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer but around 25% would be closer than 10%.

[@linzgilbank1750]

Cheaper manufacturing costs, smaller wages and large volume output will reduce costs a lot. Doesn't always equate to cut backs but some of the parts are probably not as good as your better European or Japanese vehicles

[@AdmissionGaming]

Isn't this the car that was on the news for the suspension falling off in the back?

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

That was the Omoda 5 in Malaysia: drivingenthusiast.com.au/2024/05/chery-announces-recall-in-malaysia-after-rear-axle-snaps-off-in-an-omoda-5/

[@Tdawg429]

it was the cherry omoda 5

[@nicholasmatthews5989]

From looking at DE's article where it says "...the owner asks a Facebook group why there appears to be only two weld spots instead of welding all the way around the beam...", it is a worrying concern with it being a current model, in this case the Omoda 5. :(

[@angusnz7910]

Price is amazing when it just cost me 38k for a side by side atv for the farm 😨

[@normanafif1268]

Leg cramped up 😜😂

[@converdis449]

As a city runaround, shopping, go to the beach in summer at the price point

[@Coastmac2001]

Obviously it's unable to get & has no approval for temporary registration, as a pre production model . Which means it can't be driven on public roads .

[@victorsvoice7978]

It has high fuel consumption. Even though it has an affordable price. Turbo requires more maintenance and can suffer from turbo-lag.

[@bwest5826]

[@donbrody8529]

Cheaper than an MG3 or Swift small car? This thing is going to sell like hotcakes.

[@michelebicc6983]

That crap is sold in Italy as DR 4.0. In our market is lacks a lot of safety features, no crash tests results available, terrible manual transmission (yes, it also comes with a 5-MT), very poor build quality and if you crash it you are going to wait for months (!) for new parts.

[@RodneyW]

That's a good tip. It's hard to find reviews for it.. but the few that I've found are pretty horrendous.

[@gregj7916]

Anyone know the pay rates for automotive production factory workers in China?

[@honestjohn6222]

Who cares

[@jimmyhan4650]

Decent enough pay, all of the Chinese domestic car companies pay their employees pretty well enough to a substantial amount with accountable fringe benefits and so on. The downside is that they do have a tighter working schedule everyday but considers this in a much more modern manufacturing environment where automation is almost everywhere, the amount of manual labour is definitely no way near being casual but on the parallel no way near being too intensive and depriving.

[@taniaxaviour1013]

@@madrx2yeah buy an 8 years old 2016 boring toyota with more than 200000km for the same price, do u really think that toyota magically dont break down or lose value? Try buy a new toyota for 40k drive it for 150k and then try to sell it, it wont get u more than 15k , thats a 25k depreciation, Just buy a chinese car for 20-25k drive and before the warranty ends sell it for 10-15k or more, thats less than 10k depreciation. Toyotas are definitely reliable outside warranty, but they are extremely overpriced. SW so many mazda and hyundai fail at 100-150km, just buy cheaper with warranty and save ur money

​@@aus-reviews8462 What evidence do you have to prove that Chery uses low-quality steel? As far as I know, Chery models use cage-type structures for their bodies, and the A-pillar and B-pillar, which are very important for personnel safety, use hot-formed steel with a strength of 1300 MPa, provided by Germany's Benteler.

[@gort3969]

Kind of similar pricing to when ldv first came here. I'm not sure how ldv's last, you definitely hear the same old "Chinese crap" storry but that could just be their competitors talking. I have personally seen many on the road with stuff half way falling off the body so there may be some truth to it. You could wait a month or 2 and buy a second hand one of these cherries for about $14 to 16k

[@wayneharper2168]

You can buy a Toyota aurion 2017 model for about 15 grand or less with low keys. Beautiful car, and they hammer! Very comfortable and Japanese quality. Why buy a Chinese shitbox?

[@YZJB]

I bought a 2010 Volvo S80 with a 232kW Yamaha V8 under its bonnet for $9,990. Why is everyone obsessed with shitboxes like this Chery? “Oooh but it’s got warranty” yeah well I’ve got $15k up my sleeve to fix whatever might need fixing, and it’s a proper car!

[@Nae395]

😮

[@Sqnutt]

That car will swallow measly $15k and still have problems. There's a reason they're cheap. Same reason used S-Class and 7 Series are cheap. If it breaks you might need a tow truck, you might need a rental car, then finding a mechanic, then finding parts for a 14 year old niche vehicle. People have lives and don't wanna be fussed with fixing a car, That's why a new car with warranty, service plan, resale value is appealing.

[@YZJB]

@@Sqnutt unlike the BMWs and Mercedes from the same era, the Volvos have proven to be pretty reliable actually. The V8 engine is made by Yamaha in Japan, the gearbox is made by Aisin in Japan, the electronics are solid. This isn’t my first rodeo with a Volvo from this era. They’re a lot better than you make them out to be.

[@zhanhonglu903]

You're living in the past. Chinese cars now match European cars in terms of quality and safety. Many Japanese car dealerships have closed in China, and Chinese consumers generally look down on Japanese and European cars. We're even preparing to dominate the U.S. and Europe. If it weren't for the U.S. feeling insecure and deliberately sanctioning Chinese manufacturing, as Elon Musk said, without trade barriers, a significant portion of European and American cars would be replaced by Chinese cars in a few years.
