Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Chery’s voice command assistant, come standard.The Ultimate steps things up with a surround-view camera, synthetic leather seats and ambient lighting.As before, the Tiggo 4 Pro is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine that delivers 108kW/210Nm to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The cut-price Chery Tiggo 4 Pro small SUV has been hit with an urgent recall.The recall notice posted by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, said close to 2000 of the fast-selling SUVs were affected by an issue regarding its autonomous emergency braking tech.According to the notice a software issue is to blame.“Due to a software issue, the vehicle may not have the Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) sound alarm activated.”If the AEB sound doesn’t go off it could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to the vehicle occupants or other road users, according to the recall notice.Owners of affected vehicles are urged to contact their nearest Chery dealership to have the AEB software updated at no cost.The Tiggo 4 Pro was one of the top selling small SUVs in the country at the start of this year. More than a 1000 found a new home in January, outselling familiar favourites such as the Kia Seltos, Honda HR-V and Subaru Cross Trek.A big part of this sales bonanza is due to the Tiggo 4 Pro’s low, low starting price of $23,990 drive-away. This makes it one of the cheapest new cars on sale in Australia.The Tiggo 4 Pros without proper working AEB fall foul of Australian Design Rule 98/01.A similar design rule 98/00, which was recently updated has caused the end of sale of several vehicles in Australia.This rule change meant new vehicles had to have advanced auto emergency braking, this caused the end of the current Mitsubishi ASX, Pajero Sport and Eclipse Cross as well as several Suzuki models.

Having expanded its line-up from one model to four, on the way to huge year-on-year sales growth in 2024 (+114 per cent), Chery Australia has confirmed it is bringing no less than three hybrid SUVs to the local market around the middle of this year.
