Chery Tiggo 4 Pro

Chery’s Tiggo 4 Pro lands itself in the thick of the compact SUV scrum, gunning for folks who’ve outgrown a hatch but still want to keep their monthly repayments in check. You’re looking at a car that takes on the likes of the Haval Jolion and Suzuki Vitara – and on paper at least, it’s got a spec sheet that’ll make first-time buyers pause. You get a choice between a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated or a turbocharged engine, mated to anything from a CVT to a DCT or even a semi-auto, depending on which badge you spring for. That engine lineup’s nothing groundbreaking, but for the price you’re probably not expecting fireworks. The real story is in the classifieds: 21 out of 25 Tiggo 4 Pros up for grabs are pre-owned, with prices stretching from R228,500 to R415,900, though most sit tantalisingly close to the R280k mark. It’s a clear sign buyers are hunting value in nearly-new metal rather than coughing up for showroom-fresh. Most of the spotlight falls on the 1.5 Comfort CVT, listed between R239,950 and R389,500, while the 1.5T LiT DCT – that’s the turbo, dual-clutch one with the extra toys – hovers from R259,995 to R330,000. You’ll find mileage averaging around 28,803 km, so you’re not sifting through ex-rental wrecks. What makes the Tiggo stand out isn’t the engine or the badge, it’s how much kit you get crammed inside for the money: big touchscreens, driver aids, and a cabin that feels more Audi Sandton than budget Beijing, if you pack smart. That matters, because rivals like the Jolion and Kiger can’t match it for features without nudging you up a trim or two. The Elite DCT at R415,900? That’s a stretch – you’d have to really want that badge, because at that price, the competition’s fierce and buyers start looking twice at the established players.
