2025 Chery Tiggo 4 Hybrid Specs Revealed: Australian Launch Confirmed for Q3

Chery has confirmed that the updated Tiggo 4 Hybrid will arrive in Australia in the third quarter of 2025, with significant changes under the skin compared to the existing petrol-powered Tiggo 4 Pro. The hybrid model was recently previewed during a media event in Wuhu, China, where Chery's head engineers and global product manager for the Tiggo 4, Carnie Wang, provided CarSauce with extensive technical details.

The Tiggo 4 Hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 71kW and 118Nm with an electric motor rated at 150kW and 310Nm. Although Chery has not yet released official combined system outputs, early indications suggest the hybrid system will deliver significantly more power and torque than the current turbo-petrol powertrain. The hybrid setup uses a 1.83kWh battery in a parallel series configuration, not requiring external charging.

Acceleration figures show notable improvement, with the Tiggo 4 Hybrid expected to achieve 0-100km/h in approximately 9.4 seconds, compared to 10.66 seconds CarSauce previously recorded for the outgoing petrol model. Chery also claims a fuel consumption figure of 5.4L/100km and an estimated driving range of around 1000km on the WLTC cycle.

Exterior changes are relatively subtle, maintaining the Tiggo 4 Pro's existing LED headlights, vertical daytime running lights, and diamond-patterned grille design. New badging at the rear highlights the hybrid drivetrain, while revised colour options, including a finish dubbed "Moon Silver," will join the palette.

Inside, the Tiggo 4 Hybrid introduces updated trim materials, moving away from the piano black finishes to a brushed metallic style for the centre console. An updated climate control layout, and revised infotainment graphics are among the cabin upgrades.

Boot capacity appears largely unaffected, although a small hump in the floor suggests minor packaging adjustments to house the battery system. The Tiggo 4 Hybrid retains a manual tailgate and a 360-degree camera system, at least on higher-grade variants.

While local specifications are yet to be officially confirmed, it is expected that the Tiggo 4 Hybrid will be offered in two familiar trims: Urban and Ultimate. Pricing has also not been announced; however, it is speculated that Chery will aim to keep the entry-level Urban Hybrid variant close to the $29,990 drive-away mark, which would position it very competitively within Australia's increasingly crowded hybrid SUV segment.

The Tiggo 4 Hybrid's Australian arrival marks another step in Chery’s expansion strategy, with the brand continuing to grow its lineup with hybrid and electric offerings alongside traditional internal combustion models. More local details, including full specifications and final pricing, are anticipated closer to the vehicle's launch in Q3 2025.
