Summary
The Chery Tiggo 4 is a small petrol-electric hybrid SUV/crossover that is now on sale in the UK, arriving in British showrooms in Summer 2026.
Set to rival compact high-riding hybrids like the GWM Haval Jolion Pro and Toyota Yaris Cross, the Tiggo 4 will is an important budget-end model for Chery, as the Chinese marque continues its rapid expansion into the UK market, undercutting established rivals on price.
Chery’s UK offering already includes the larger Tiggo 7, Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 9 SUV’s, and the manufacturer adds that the arrival of the Tiggo 4 completes the Tiggo line-up.
“It’s probably the best value new car on sale in the UK right now”, argues The Car Expert’s own Stuart Masson, pointing to the crossover’s dual 12-inch dashboard screens, full-fat hybrid powertrain, seven-year warranty and a comprehensive safety technology suite, which is all included as standard.
Tom Jervis of Auto Express meanwhile concludes that the Tiggo 4 is “not particularly inspiring”, but stands out due to its price tag, with entry-level versions being around £7k cheaper than the cheapest Ford Puma. “Brits favour value above all else – and for this reason, this cheapest Chery is very hard to ignore.”
As of June 2026, the Chery Tiggo 4 currently holds a New Car Expert Rating of B, with a score of 68%. Beyond the car’s rather mixed bag of review scores, this overall rating is helped by the car’s strong Euro NCAP safety credentials.

“The Chery Tiggo 4 is a five-seat SUV with dual 12-inch screens, a proper hybrid powertrain (not a mild hybrid), automatic transmission, seven-year warranty and a comprehensive safety technology suite as standard. It’s probably the best value new car on sale in the UK right now.”

“The Chery Tiggo 4 has weird steering and an awkward boot, but these and any other foibles are all easy to forgive for its stunningly cheap price tag.”

“The Chery Tiggo 4 is a good, if not particularly inspiring small SUV. It’s roomy, powerful and reasonably efficient, plus base models offer plenty of standard kit. But at £7k less than a Ford Puma, price is the Tiggo’s trump card. Sales figures show that Brits favour value above all else – and for this reason, this cheapest Chery is very hard to ignore.”

“The Tiggo 4 is Chinese brand Chery’s smallest car and is certainly cheap … though it feels it in places.”

“A low price and a long warranty mean the compact Chery Tiggo 4 looks destined for success, despite failing to stand out in any particular area.”

“The Chery Toggo 4’s price tag seems an absolute bargain, but there are better cars out there for not much more money, especially when you consider competitive leasing rates. We completely see the appeal of getting the keys to a new SUV on the drive for not much money, but we urge you to test drive the alternatives before putting your hard-earned cash down.”

“The Chery Tiggo 4 is well worth a look if you’re after a small SUV that offers good space for the lowest possible price. It feels more upmarket inside than a Dacia Duster or Vauxhall Frontera, gets loads of standard equipment, and its hybrid system is smooth around town. Sadly, the rest of the driving experience – the odd steering in particular – means it’s one to definitely try before you buy.”
