Why, it’s the latest Chery Tiggo 4 Pro – also known as the Chery Tiggo Cross, particularly in markets which sold (or are still selling) the older facelift alongside, such as South Africa and Indonesia.
No fewer than three units were spotted testing on a Malaysian highway, wearing trade plates and varying degrees of camouflage. The vertical DRLs (and matching rear fender slits) along with the prominent full-width tail lamps can be clearly seen, and although well-obscured, you can just about make out the squinty headlamps and huge angular grille.
The three cars are all wearing different wheels. The car with the base wheels (above) appears to have a smaller exhaust box – could Malaysia get 116 PS/138 Nm 1.5 NA + CVT (like Indonesia) and 147 PS/210 Nm 1.5 turbo + six-speed DCT (like South Africa) powertrain options?
Conjecture at this point, of course – but if it turns out to be true, Chery Malaysia could have a competitively-priced base 1.5 NA variant to take on the Ativa (like the Omoda 5 C targeting the Proton X50) and 1.5 turbo variants to out-spec the WR-V.
We’ll know for sure when the pint-sized SUV launches in Malaysia in the first half of 2025, sitting below the Omoda 5 in both size and price, and supplanting it as the new entry-level Chery – five-digit price tag to start?
The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro/Chery Tiggo Cross is priced at Rp 239.5-269.5 juta (RM65k-73k) in Indonesia and ZAR400k-450k (RM96k-108k) in South Africa. Here at home, we have the RM63k-73k Ativa and the RM90k-108k WR-V – you know the next question, so what’s your answer?
