The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro marked the return of the Chinese brand to South Africa and what a success it has been so far. Over 5000 units have found homes in SA in the first half of 2023.
Now, Chery has announced the arrival of the Tiggo 4 Pro LiT (pronounced as Lite) that comes in at an even lower price than the Urban derivative. At just R279 900, the Lit is the most affordable Chery on sale in South Africa.
It may be marketed as the entry-level model, but it still has most of the boxes ticked with roof rails, electrically-adjustable side mirrors, fabric seats with manual seat adjustment, plastic steering wheel, and 10.25-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity.
Apple Carplay / Android Auto is standard
As far as safety goes, the Tiggo 4 Pro LiT features dual front airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounting points, traction control, stability control, anti-lock brakes, hill ascent, hill descent, rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, keyless access and central locking.
From the Cars.co.za comparison tool, we can see that Chery has deleted the rear USB charging ports and 4 airbags, and adjusted the service plan from 5-year/60 000 km to 3-year/30 000 km. While some may raise an eyebrow over the reduced number of airbags, we’d argue that its better to have passive features like anti-lock brakes and stability control to prevent an accident in the first place.
As a reminder, the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro range is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine with 83 kW and 138 Nm. Power goes to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. Chery says it can get to 100 kph in 11.5 seconds and consume 7L/100 km of unleaded.
Tiggo 4 Pro LiT – R279 900
The Tiggo 4 Pro LiT is now on sale at Chery dealerships across Southern Africa and comes with the above mentioned service plan as well as a 1 million / 10-year kilometre engine warranty.
These are the most popular Chinese cars sold in SA in the first half of 2023
