Chery has further expanded the appeal of the Tiggo 4 PRO with the introduction of a slick-shifting dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with additional technology and interior updates.
What’s new?
The addition of a DCT will also see some interior and new technology updates expanding the T4 line-up.
Gearbox:
Chery claims the 7-speed DCT will optimise fuel consumption and save half-a-litre of fuel per 100 km. In measuring the testing on actual roads in South Africa, it approximately saves close to 1.6 litres of fuel per 100 km (depending on driving style and environmental conditions).
The fuel consumption improvement is said to be noticeable in the turbo-charged 108 kW version of the 1500-powertrain.
Chery also used this opportunity to improve the driving experience and fuel consumption for previous T4 buyers. There is a new software update for the Tiggo 4 Pro CVT version that is currently being tested.
Chery South Africa has invited several customers privately to join the test team. Initial results show a significant improvement in fuel consumption tests on actual South African roads. This new software will soon be available to customers.
Interior:
The engineers and product planning team have used the introduction of the new transmission to also add extra interior and technology updates.
The new centre console layout shares commonality of the popular Tiggo 7 Pro, with additional storage space and an integrated 15W wireless charging pad (Elite model only) as well as a touch-screen air conditioning screen with controls for both air conditioning zones.
Buyers of the Elite SE version of the Tiggo 4 PRO with DCT will get a new high-resolution infotainment screen with offline navigation, a radio data system (RDS) equipped radio and wireless connectivity for Android (Android Auto) and Apple (Apple CarPlay) devices.
Range and prices:
With the introduction of the Tiggo 4 PRO with DCT, the entire Tiggo PRO range will now offer the option of a DCT. This includes the 7-speed DCT in the Tiggo PRO 7 MAX and the Tiggo PRO 8 MAX models.
The new Tiggo 4 PRO LiT DCT costs R382 900 and the Tiggo 4 PRO Elite DCT retails for R415 900.
