Unlike the recently announced Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid and Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid, the Tiggo 4 Hybrid is not a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) but a parallel hybrid like the Yaris Cross Hybrid and Jolion HEV. Both Tiggo 4 Hybrid model grades will use a 71kW/118Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine teamed with an electric motor for combined outputs of 150kW/310Nm driving the front wheels. With a 1.83kWh battery and combined fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km – compared to 7.3L/100km for the petrol-only version – the Tiggo 4 Hybrid has a claimed driving range of 1000km per tank. It also quotes a 9.4-second 0-100km/h acceleration time, which is 1.2 seconds quicker than the petrol version.

Standard driver assist tech for the petrol Tiggo 4 includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic assist for both model grades. The Tiggo 4 is currently Chery Australia’s best-selling vehicle – making up more than half of its nearly 12,000 sales to the end of May this year – and the nation’s fourth-best selling small SUV behind the Hyundai Kona, MG ZS, and the Jolion.
