Chery Tiggo 4 CSH

The Tiggo 4 CSH brings the Super Hybrid name to the smaller end of the Tiggo family. Chery describes a hybrid-specific engine with a stepless electric hybrid DHT transmission, and the car is aimed at buyers who want a compact SUV that can carry the weekend as well as the commute. Chery shows it loaded for shopping, fishing, camping and climbing trips.

Engine and fuel

The engine displaces 1.498 litres and the fuel tank holds 51 litres. For markets in Central and South America, Chery quotes a charge-sustaining fuel consumption of 5.4 litres per 100 km on the NEDC cycle.

Size and space

The Tiggo 4 CSH measures 4,320 mm long, 1,831 mm wide and 1,652 mm high on a wheelbase of 2,610 mm. The boot holds 430 litres and expands to 1,190 litres when the rear seats are folded. A dual-layer intelligent storage area adds space in the cabin, and the interior list includes 50 W fast charging for a phone, independent climate zone control, ambient lighting and a four-way adjustable steering wheel.

Driver assistance and body

Named driver aids are autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane change assist and blind spot detection. They rely on one forward camera, two millimetre-wave radars and one long-range millimetre-wave radar. Chery describes the body as a ten-ring cage-type safety cell with up to seven airbags, and says it has run 50 km/h frontal and 60 km/h side impact tests.

Design and colours

Chery says the proportions follow the golden ratio, with a shoulder line that runs to the rear of the car and tiger-claw lines in the headlamp trim. Six colours are listed: New Carbon Crystal Black, Phantom Grey, Techno Gray, New Khaki White, Moonlight Silver and Blood Stone Red.
