· Citizen

Chery has, allegedly, started with the “phasing out” process of the Tiggo 4 Pro by confirming prices of the newly introduced LiT versions of the Tiggo Cross.

End of the line?

While still available, the Tiggo 4 Pro is expected to follow the same route as the Tiggo 7 and 8 Pro, which both dropped the ‘Pro’ suffix following their respective mid-cycle updates last year.

Worth noting, is that the Tiggo Cross is essentially a heavily reworked Tiggo 4 Pro sold without any Cross reference in other markets.

What’s on offer?

South Africa’s best-selling Chinese vehicle of last year, the introduction of the entry-level LiT models brings a price premium of R10 000 over the comparative Tiggo 4 Pro derivatives.

More spec is, however, present, in the form of dual 10.25-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice recognition and push-button start.

Also included are:

  • LED headlights;
  • 16-inch alloy wheels;
  • imitation leather upholstery;
  • multi-function steering wheel;
  • rear armrest;
  • four-speaker sound system;
  • cruise control;
  • reverse camera;
  • rear parking sensors;
  • four airbags;
  • tyre pressure monitor

No change up front

Power-wise, the Tiggo Cross LiT retains the normally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine outputting 83kW/170Nm.

Drive continues to be routed to the front wheels either through a five-speed manual gearbox or a CVT.
