Good review as South Africans we have to change our minds about German cars which I have driven my entire life. They will pick pocket you until you become homeless.
Acurate Point. German Brands are Overrated, Over Disigned and Unreliable with a Sell-Buy Date. Once you have one, you are stuck to Stay in the German Stall.
Just to comment here on my experience: I bought a Tiggo 7 Pro last year Nov 2022 from Chery George. They ended up damaging it in a road worthy test... I have been struggling since then to get this resolved. Yes true the cars are great, lots of features etc. BUT, Chery is falling short on the service department...THE MOST IMPORTANT... So before you buy...check this FIRST!!
I completely agree. Personally I am not yet convinced about the long term reliability of the Chinese products, but I will concede that there is a big improvement in the interior and exterior styling of the cars
In Chile, Chery is the best selling SUV brand and best selling Chinese brand. There are "Pro" and regular versions of each Tiggo, so far we have the Tiggo 2 Pro, 7 Pro and 8 Pro. We also get the lifetime engine warranty.
@@zepcubacub8234 This is so much better than the other crap on the market in every way. Chery along with Haval are known for their engines, gearboxes and transmissions beating the Germans, Koreans, Japanese and of course Americans. They're also beating them in long term quality surveys in China. Chery and Haval/GWM make the best engines with the best efficiency in the world, that's why Chery can offer this million kilometer warranty. The Chinese are really showing how much other brands are overcharging people, delivering worse stuff for more money. No wonder why Chinese brands are gaining popularity.
I never thought i'd say this, but it's exciting to see how these Chinese brands are evolving. I think this is a great car, besides the fuel economy. This car is a decent option after the Jolion of course.
@@zhangjason7477 Great car, I hope Chinese & Indian car makers give established brands a run for their money.. I suppose there are costs involved in shipping from China to South Africa? Or are these cars 100% manufactured in SA ? And there is profit - local dealers are notorious to be greedy. Also, Chinese currency is artificially pegged by Chinese government all the time so how does anyone know what the real value of RMB is ?
Don't say Cherry. Just start with "Tiggo" when telling her the name of the car. Because once she hears that you have a new "cherry", she is going to jump to conclusion and get violent before she realizes you are talking about a "car" named "Cherry Tiggo" instead of a "cherry" named Tiggo.
I don't know the full details of Chery' s warranty as they aren't sold in the U.S....yet. However, my experience with warranties is that they are only as good as the dealership that honors (or DOESN'T honor) them. Is the engine the only part of the drivetrain with the warranty? You might want the same warranty on the transmission, if possible.

Bought mine. Within 3 months the hooter stopped working. By 18 000 km the braking system started to malfunction and later the shock broke. The car has been into service for the past two weeks now as I type this. I wouldn't advice anyone to buy it.
Everyone jumps on saying newer Chinese cars are great but only time tells the real story. As is the case with any Chinese cars they aren’t built to last.
When it comes to reliability, if the Cherys in the Philippines and Malaysia are anything to go by, Chery's are quiet reliable. The only thing left to see is dealership service and courtesy because dealerships can make or break a brand. 😁
Cherry has up their game big time. Build quality is solid. Checked it out @ a mall display. Interior is tops 👌. Salesperson mentioned voice activation etc . I like it 👌
All these SUV'S are nothing else but slightly raised hatchbacks and station wagons, with bigger wheels. Wait until you have to swerve suddenly, and you'd wish you were in a plain old close to the ground sedan!
Thank you for such thorough review. However, I wonder how long it will take for these gismoas and gadgets to fall apart as every other Chinese products that looked Eye-catching in the first moment and after couple weekes they started falling off.
@@BubblesTheCat1 A Haval H6 or even a Jolion are arguably better than a Corolla. They are much bigger and are SUV's, yet are cheaper or equally priced. They have much more standard equipment and technology, and a better standard warranty. The very fact that a mid-sized Corolla sedan is around the same price as a large H6 SUV, yet has far less features than the H6, goes to show how amazing Haval are in basically every aspect.
@@BubblesTheCat1 hmm. I get the very strong sense you haven't even bothered to at least check out a single Haval review before you decided to believe they are anything less than amazing. (And either didn't read all the points I made in my previous comment or want to ignore them.) Even the tiniest bit of online research (or just reading everything I said in my other comment) will show you that a Haval is better than a Corolla in literally every single metric. Try to disprove me. You can't.
@@BubblesTheCat1 I've given you many objective facts to prove my point. You have nothing to say other than "LOL", as there's literally nothing sensible you can say to back up your belief.
It looks like the Chinese cars are hitting the local and international market hard and when you look at the features you getting for the price you pay, it is really a big winner in my opinion. As for the 10 year warranty, mind blowing!
Yes shootout. Other brands have trouble now. Nice review. I'm buying the elite manual. I'm old school and like to drive. Auto cars are boring. My Tiggo 4 pro comes from PE and I blevieve I'm the first to buy one in George. I had a long chat with another owner of the 6 speed manual. Economy is about 7.5 to 9.0 liters per 100 km and he loves the car after 4000km. This is ok for a 1.5 turbo. I think it's the best buy in this class. Also a bit bigger than brezza, urban, maginte, sonet, kiger, venue etc. The Jolion very nice but Tiggo 4 pro is more agile and nippier 0-100 under 10 seconds. Also, Jolion is heavier on fuel, 10 to 12 liter per 100. Tiggo drive train better in my view. Jolion feels like driving a ship. Most important for me is warrantee is better on Chery 5 years 150 000 km. Jolion only 100 000km. Also 1million km 10 year on engine says a lot. Chery opening in George early next year.
One more thing. Tiggo Elite manual is R320k which is 30 000 less than cvt. It's a big price jump for the cvt auto. How much fuel can you buy for 30k? Hmm 1500 liters at R20/l which relates to150 000 kms at least. In other words 5 years or more free fuel driving the manual instead of cvt. Makes one think. If you live in Gauteng or Cape Town the cvt might be a good idea due to traffic. Any other place in country go for manual.
Hi Cero great review drove the entry level chery R269k just as good, 5 speed manual gearbox 16 " mag wheels still drive great, steering very light, ideal for ladys and makes parking a breeze very little bells and whistles if you live without the bells and whistles this will be a great compact SUV at r269k
I've test driven this car, the sound was surprisingly VERY decent. The larger model, the Tiggo 8 pro has Sony sound. However it cannot be spec'd on these.
You are definitely the best when it comes to car reviews. Couldn't help but laugh, when you were shocked the voice assist opened the passenger window 😂🤣
That's very true. Ciao is a hundred percent correct. I live in the Western Cape, and recently drove a car back from Joburg to Cape Town via the North West province. Sannieshof to Upington route. Gosh, there were unmarked potholes on the open road as big as the car itself, and a couple of feet deep. Besides finging your car up, this is extremely dangerous, especially if you're from the Cape, and didn't expect the sudden massive holes. Absolutely hair raising!
@@BubblesTheCat1 if you live in Joburg or Durban you can easily drive a sedan too. I drive a picanto in Durban and for most conditions in and around town it’s fine
I was impressed with the vehicle after watching your and many other people's review. After taking my trade-in vehicles for an assessment to Chery Century City - I am still waiting. If I struggle to get feedback from the sales staff I wonder what my struggle would be like once i develop a problem with the vehicle. They are not very responsive as they very likely take the popularity of their brand for granted. Not the kind of people I would like to deal with.
Chery has beat ford in south africa with this car. This car is basically the new Ford Territory look alike. I've been on Ford South Africa's neck about bringing the new Territory to South Africa with no luck
Seems like we have idiots running Ford South Africa. They discontinued all their models with the exception of the Ranger and Everest. Their market share has shrunk and dealers are suffering because they have no new models to sell.
Nice car. There are rumours, that the TATA MOTORS are planning to bring the Chery Tiggo to the INDIAN Market soon, under the Tata Badge. That will be awesome.
i think this review was bad, drove this car between cape town -> knysna and back.Its only good at speeds under 90kms anything above the gearbox is not great forever rev up and down every 10 seconds, the car is wobly and the lack of torque makes it so hard to overtaken even a kia picanto on the freeway
1 month with the SE Auto. Love it to bits. Spoiled with Too much features. Car can make you lazy. Auto park. Love it. The power is worth the fuel consumption. Overall…very impressed
I ordered one but I didn't know it has Auto Park. Can you explain what auto park does in this car? To me it means a car that automatically parks with your hands of the steering wheel 🤔
Compelling. Will certainly shake things up in Kenya... we still have the QQ and Tiggo1 on the roads around so a bit of a bad rep to overcome but very welcome.
@@bahbah6942 the car is on 20 000km now, just over a year and a month. there was just one small issue with the roof spoiler rattling, just tighten it. No other issues since
These Chinese cars that are coming to our market is good for everyone. Creates competition for the bigger brands like VW and Toyota. It's a win win for the consumer especially in an economy where cars are very expensive.
The Voice Commands stood out for me! Great Review 👍, Chinese Automakers are doing the most. The car has a character, seeing on the road it standout from Suzuki & Toyota's Urban Cruse.
Fantsy Pantsy, But how Long will it last in Harsh S.A Conditions, How Good will Aftersales Service be, Technical Backup, Parts Logistics...Won't buy it, But a Useful Alternative. Good Review, as Always.
As a fyi, had my new tiggo pro 4 elite 2 weeks and the engine malfunction light has come on twice. Been back to the dealer in Alberton and 3 days after their fix , warning light is back. More than likley this issue is going to end up at the oubutsman.
Someone mentioned long-term reviews. I'd like to see that of these cheap vehicles used in normal daily life and then an assessment of maintenance costs and reliability after at least two service intervals. Then we can see if they make 'good' used vehicles.

Problem with this brand is it's bad history in SA, if they can beat Renault in keeping parts in stock and having good dealers with high service levels they will succeed This could be unsettling to the T-Cross and Jolion nonetheless. The Right to Repair should keep the costs down after service plan at a good RMI garage for the warranty period.
Top of the range Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is less expensive than the mid range Haval Jolion 1.5T Luxury auto. Mmmh interesting plus a 1M warranty. Chery seems like the new Huawei in SA😂😂

I have a 6 year old Chery Tiggo that I love with all my heart. So excited about this upgrade!
Feel like one of the reasons Haval succeeded was it not being called GWM,if Chery created a sub brand and moved this there it might be more successful
Absolutely true!
Actually, this car is get more sales now, especially in the garden route
They already have a sub brand called Exeed. But they are pretty new and I guess at this point it’s domestic only

I really hope that the fuel consumption will get better as the engine gets driven in, because 9L/100km is insane for a small car like this?!

These Chinese cars that are coming to our market is good for everyone. Creates competition for the bigger brands like VW and Toyota. It's a win win for the consumer especially in an economy where cars are very expensive.
In ten years time, you'll get ten times as much for the Toyota, than for the cherry
Eighteen hundred? Five foot nine? When did this channel become American?
Interior design very nice . Toyota can learn a thing or two
Toyota is overrated and overpriced.
Toyota wont unless you willing to pay extra for it. These options are actually there in order to sell the brand.
"We got proper roads". Lol. I felt the burn in Gauteng. 😂😂👍
The Voice Commands stood out for me! Great Review 👍, Chinese Automakers are doing the most. The car has a character, seeing on the road it standout from Suzuki & Toyota's Urban Cruse.
How many years rust warranty?
Good point ...I've seen a few with rust
Fantsy Pantsy, But how Long will it last in Harsh S.A Conditions, How Good will Aftersales Service be, Technical Backup, Parts Logistics...Won't buy it, But a Useful Alternative. Good Review, as Always.
lol, that fuel consumption is similar to a diesel bakkie. I get about the same with my 21 year old ford ranger. 😂
Forgot to mention there are two power trains Turbo charged 108 kw and non turbo 83kw the entry level chery's are non turbo's
A mojor problem with the Tiggo 4 is that you cannot change the headlamp if it has blown, it can only be sone at a dealer, at great cost.
What is six-foot? A dance step?
The review is magnificent. Very detailed 👌
Lol, what's with the road quality comment? Hahaha
As a fyi, had my new tiggo pro 4 elite 2 weeks and the engine malfunction light has come on twice. Been back to the dealer in Alberton and 3 days after their fix , warning light is back. More than likley this issue is going to end up at the oubutsman.
Was at Raceview just now test driving it, thanks for posting this!!
Did you come right with the car?
Someone please tell whoever won the powerball im 100k short from getting the 1.5MT Elite model...
Nice one mate!!
I prefer the tigo 7 pro thats the one they need to bring in south africa
It's here now!
Someone mentioned long-term reviews. I'd like to see that of these cheap vehicles used in normal daily life and then an assessment of maintenance costs and reliability after at least two service intervals.
Then we can see if they make 'good' used vehicles.
It was me who asked and my comment was deleted. I wasn't even rude. I guess it reveals all we need to know.
@@rnburley This is so much better than the other crap on the market in every way. Chery along with Haval are known for their engines, gearboxes and transmissions beating the Germans, Koreans, Japanese and of course Americans. They're also beating them in long term quality surveys in China. Chery and Haval/GWM make the best engines with the best efficiency in the world, that's why Chery can offer this million kilometer warranty. The Chinese are really showing how much other brands are overcharging people, delivering worse stuff for more money. No wonder why Chinese brands are gaining popularity.

Problem with this brand is it's bad history in SA, if they can beat Renault in keeping parts in stock and having good dealers with high service levels they will succeed
This could be unsettling to the T-Cross and Jolion nonetheless. The Right to Repair should keep the costs down after service plan at a good RMI garage for the warranty period.
Just for curiosity sake 🤔
Why in the hell do you have rocks under the right front wheel ?
Woah !! it actually opened the passenger window!
9L/100km is Trash for this tiny car 🤣
Who buys a car made by the Wuhu municipal government?
2 highly sought after competitors in this segment (to my mind), that I feel you missed out on: Ford Eco-Sport, Mazda CX 3...
And Kia Sonet
Eco-Sport is on is way out of the SA market, except for the base, bare-bones model.
Love the conclusion; the squeaky part🤣
Cirro is campaigning for the DA Government 😄. Great review once again though 👏
Top of the range Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is less expensive than the mid range Haval Jolion 1.5T Luxury auto. Mmmh interesting plus a 1M warranty. Chery seems like the new Huawei in SA😂😂
Haval is n much better car. 😂
Haval is way bigger so better value
As a Chinese, I can tell you very responsibly that most Chinese regard BYD as the Huawei of the automobile industry, no joke.
@@scofieldxue6176 what is BYD?
How much did chery pay you for this review?🤣
Why don't you talk about the sound system quality in these review?
Which is the best suv in this price bracket in terms of fuel efficiency?
I think the Kia sonet
This is a very cool car, price wise and what it offers, but one downfall for me is the keyless entry and exit not that safe to some extent.
You can turn it off if you don’t want it 🙂
@@BubblesTheCat1 😂😂😂😂
I'm driving a tiggo 4pro and there's a setting to switch off key intelligence
@@BubblesTheCat1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice road condition jab there Ciro, LMK!
Spot on. Pity it will not be seen by the powers that be in the North West. They're too busy with other "stuff".
Maybe if there was a different political party in charge there?
The tester is super cool. Congratulations!
Wow nice preview as always, n also was happy to see you showing seat back and also Boots it been long🙏🙏🙏
