Chery will extend its fast‑growing small‑SUV range next month with the arrival of the Tiggo 4 Hybrid. The newcomer under‑cuts the cheapest petrol‑electric rivals by at least $3000 and gives the Chinese brand three hybrid launches in as many months.
Tiggo 4 Hybrid pricing
| Variant | Driveaway price |
| Tiggo 4 Hybrid Urban | $29,990 |
| Tiggo 4 Hybrid Ultimate | $34,990 |
Even the entry model slides in beneath Toyota’s Yaris Hybrid hatch ($28,990 +ORC) and GWM’s Jolion HEV ($32,990 driveaway). On current numbers it is the least‑expensive hybrid passenger vehicle you can buy new in Australia.
Powertrain, performance and range
Under the bonnet of the Chery Tiggo 4 hybrid sits a 1.5‑litre four‑cylinder petrol engine (71 kW/118 Nm) teamed with an electric motor, driving the front wheels via Chery’s single‑speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission.
| Key spec | Tiggo 4 Hybrid |
| Petrol engine | 1.5‑litre, 71 kW / 118 Nm |
| Electric motor | 150 kW / 310 Nm |
| System output (Combined) | 150 kW / 310 Nm |
| Battery | 1.83 kWh lithium‑ion |
| 0‑100 km/h (claimed) | 9.4 s |
| Fuel use (combined) | 5.4 L/100 km |
| Claimed range | 1000 km |
Chery says the Tiggo 4 hybrid is 1.2 seconds quicker to 100 km/h than its 1.5‑litre petrol sibling while cutting consumption by almost 26 per cent.
Equipment highlights
Detailed Australian specification for the Chey Tiggo 4 Hybrid will be confirmed closer to launch, but these electrified trims will mirror their petrol equivalents for standard kit.
The Tiggo 4 hybrid Urban grade is expected to include 17‑inch alloys, dual 10.25‑inch screens with wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, keyless entry and a comprehensive ADAS suite incorporating AEB, adaptive cruise, lane‑keep assist and blind‑spot monitoring.
Ultimate should add 18‑inch wheels, a 360‑degree camera, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof and wireless phone charging.
Where it sits in a crowded segment
Through 2025 sales till May, the Tiggo 4 accounted for more than half of Chery’s 12,000 Australian sales and currently ranks fourth in the small‑SUV segment behind Hyundai Kona, MG ZS and GWM Haval Jolion. The hybrid option targets buyers lured by Toyota’s long‑running petrol‑electric dominance but unwilling to stretch their budget beyond $30‑35 k.
Launch timing
The Chery Tiggo 4 Hybrid will begin arriving in showrooms in the final week of July, trailing the plug‑in Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid and seven‑seat Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid by a fortnight. Full specifications and ANCAP test details are due within weeks.
Chery’s hybrid hat‑trick underscores the brand’s ambition to position itself as Australia’s value leader in electrified SUVs—starting with the most affordable offering of the lot.
