2025 Chery Tiggo 4 Hybrid will be Australia's cheapest HEV

The 2025 Chery Tiggo 4 Hybrid small SUV is scheduled to arrive late next month, and the two-grade lineup has today been priced from $29,990 drive-away.

That makes Australia’s cheapest SUV nameplate also the most affordable hybrid on sale in Australia. The Tiggo 4 Hybrid undercuts the cheapest Toyota Yaris Hybrid hatch ($28,990 before on-road costs) and GWM Haval Jolion HEV small SUV ($32,990 drive-away).

Two variants will be available in Australia from July, including the base Urban ($29,990 D/A) and the flagship Ultimate ($34,990 D/A) – representing a $6000 premium for the electrified drivetrain.

Unlike the recently announced Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid and Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid, the Tiggo 4 Hybrid is not a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) but a parallel hybrid like the Yaris Cross Hybrid and Jolion HEV.

Both Tiggo 4 Hybrid model grades will use a 71kW/118Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine teamed with an electric motor for combined outputs of 150kW/310Nm driving the front wheels.

With a 1.83kWh battery and combined fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km – compared to 7.3L/100km for the petrol-only version – the Tiggo 4 Hybrid has a claimed driving range of 1000km per tank.

It also quotes a 9.4-second 0-100km/h acceleration time, which is 1.2 seconds quicker than the petrol version. 

Chery Australia hasn’t announced further specifications for Australia, but the entry-level petrol Tiggo 4 Urban comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, dual 10.25-inch digital displays and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity. 

In petrol guise, the Tiggo 4 Ultimate adds 18-inch alloys, heated front seats, a 360-degree surround camera and power sunroof. 

Standard driver assist tech for the petrol Tiggo 4 includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic assist for both model grades.

The Tiggo 4 is currently Chery Australia’s best-selling vehicle – making up more than half of its nearly 12,000 sales to the end of May this year – and the nation’s fourth-best selling small SUV behind the Hyundai Kona, MG ZS, and the Jolion. 

While the Kona is priced from $32,500 before on-roads, the cheapest Kona Hybrid starts at $36,500. Meantime, the MG ZS starts at $26,990 drive-away but the cheapest hybrid variant starts at $33,990 drive-away, and the Haval Jolion starts at $26,990 drive-away but the most affordable hybrid version costs $32,990 drive-away.

The Chery Tiggo 4 Hybrid is now the third hybrid SUV confirmed by the company to arrive next month, with the plug-in Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid mid-size SUV and seven-seat Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid large SUV set to arrive in mid-July, ahead of the Tiggo 4 Hybrid.

Full local specification details are expected to be announced ahead of the Tiggo 4 Hybrid’s late-July arrival in Australia.
