2025 Chery Tiggo 4 Review – Price, Features, Safety, Hybrid Options & Sales Success

Introduction: Australia’s New Small SUV Sales Champion

In July 2025, the Chery Tiggo 4 became the best-selling small SUV in Australia, outselling big names like the MG ZS, Mazda CX-3, and Hyundai Kona. With 2,065 units sold in just one month, Chery has proved that value, features, and safety matter more than badge prestige.

Recently updated with a modern new look, more technology, and improved safety systems, the Tiggo 4 has quickly become a favorite among budget-conscious buyers who don’t want to compromise on features.

So, does the 2025 Tiggo 4 live up to the hype? Let’s find out.

Chery Tiggo 4 2025 Pricing in Australia (Drive-Away)

Urban – $23,990
Ultimate – $26,990
Urban Hybrid – $29,990
Ultimate Hybrid – $34,990

This aggressive pricing makes the Tiggo 4 one of the most affordable small SUVs in Australia, even undercutting some used rivals.

Standard Features – Value Beyond Expectations

Even the entry-level Tiggo 4 Urban comes packed with features usually reserved for more expensive SUVs:

17-inch alloy wheels & roof rails
Automatic LED headlights & rain-sensing wipers
Keyless entry with push-button start
Dual-zone climate control with rear vents
10.25-inch digital driver’s display & 10.25-inch infotainment screen
Wireless & wired Apple CarPlay + Android Auto
7 airbags including a front-centre airbag
Adaptive cruise control & lane-keeping assistance
Blind-spot monitoring & rear cross-traffic alert with braking

The Ultimate trim adds even more luxury: panoramic sunroof, 18-inch alloys, heated front seats, electric driver’s seat, ambient cabin lighting, 360-degree camera, and wireless phone charging.

At this price, the Tiggo 4 is better equipped than many rivals, including the Mazda CX-3 and Hyundai Kona.

Interior Quality & Practicality

Step inside the 2025 Tiggo 4, and you’ll notice premium touches like:

Soft-touch dashboard and door trims
Synthetic leather detailing on steering wheel & fascia
Spacious cabin with good rear seat legroom
380L boot capacity (1,225L with seats folded)

The infotainment system is straightforward, with physical climate buttons (a rarity in 2025) and a clear 10.25-inch touchscreen. While there’s no in-built sat-nav, wireless smartphone mirroring makes up for it.

Performance, Engine & Fuel Economy

The Chery Tiggo 4 petrol variants use a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine:

Power: 108 kW
Torque: 210 Nm
Transmission: CVT, front-wheel drive
Fuel economy (claimed): 7.4L/100km
Real-world: closer to 8.9L/100km

While more powerful than many small SUV rivals, the Tiggo 4’s fuel consumption is higher than ideal. This is where the new Tiggo 4 Hybrid (launching now in Australia) is expected to shine, offering better economy without sacrificing performance.

Driving Experience – Comfort Over Sportiness

The Tiggo 4 is clearly tuned for comfort rather than sporty handling.

Strengths: cushioned suspension, quiet cabin, smooth ride quality
Weaknesses: light steering, soft brakes, body roll on bumps

For city commuting and family duties, it’s perfectly adequate. But if you want sharp handling like a Mazda CX-3, the Tiggo 4 isn’t the car for you.

Safety – Five-Star ANCAP Rated

One of the biggest selling points of the Tiggo 4 is its 2024 ANCAP five-star rating with excellent scores:

Adult occupant protection: 88%
Child occupant protection: 87%
Vulnerable road users: 79%
Safety assist: 85%

Chery has also fine-tuned its safety systems, making lane-keeping assistance and driver monitoring less intrusive than earlier versions.

Ownership: Warranty, Service & Running Costs

Warranty: 7 years / unlimited km (among the best in Australia)
Roadside Assist: included for 12 months, extendable to 7 years with servicing
Service Intervals: 12 months / 15,000 km
5-year servicing cost: $1,445 (about $289 per service)

This long warranty + affordable servicing makes the Tiggo 4 a smart buy for long-term owners.

Verdict: Should You Buy the 2025 Chery Tiggo 4?

The 2025 Chery Tiggo 4 proves why it has taken the crown as Australia’s best-selling small SUV:

Unbeatable value for money
Long warranty & low servicing costs
Spacious interior & strong features list
Five-star safety rating
Hybrid option now available

Yes, it’s not the most fun-to-drive SUV and fuel economy in the petrol model could be better. But for budget-conscious buyers who want maximum value without compromising on safety and features, the Tiggo 4 is an outstanding choice.

Our verdict: 9/10 – A game-changing budget SUV that outperforms rivals in value and practicality.
