Most evident in the car industry is how quickly potential buyers see the
value in a new model. Chery’s Tiggo 4 SUV has quickly made a name for
itself on value alone, simply the best value in a small SUV at present – two
models, the Tiggo 4 Urban $23,990 drive-away and the better equipped
Ultimate at $26,990 drive-away – as I said earlier the equipment level on the
Ultimate makes for a very compelling package for a small family on a tight
budget. And its pricing is where other small SUV’s start with their entry
pricing and don’t feature the Chery Tiggo 4 Ultimate models impressive
equipment list. Which includes dual-zone climate control air, a power
sunroof with shade, heated front seats, wireless phone charging, front and
rear parking sensors and a 360-degree camera. Only disappointment for me
is the lack of a rear power door and a full-size spare wheel. Power source a
1.5-litre turbo petrol four-cylinder driving the front wheels via a
continuously variable transmission. With 108kW and 210 Nm of torque its
no fire breather but a nice driver, the performance best described as
adequate while fuel consumption can get a little heavy if driven hard. I
managed 7.9L/100 around town but it does take 91 octane fuel.

With cost-of-living pressures affecting new car sales a sharply priced SUV like the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is sure to gain traction – this small Chinese SUV has been selling up a storm since its launch six months ago. Chery has thankfully already dropped the Pro from its name and revised styling including a full width LED tail-light and revised alloy wheels. Two models – the entry Chery Tiggo 4 Urban at $23,990 drive-away which now also gains front parking sensors and a six-speaker sound system in lieu of four. The better-equipped Tiggo 4 Ultimate at $26,990 drive-away further gains wireless phone charging and ambient interior lighting. Both exceptional value and quickly reflected in sales – having driven both the Tiggo 4 Ultimate is well worth the extra. Power source is a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine driving the front wheels through a continuously variable automatic. The Ultimate grade equipment impressive – LED headlights, twin 10.25-inch display screens, a 360-degree camera, rear parking sensors, wireless phone charging, larger 18-inch alloy wheels, synthetic leather trim, dual zone climate control air, a power sunroof and shade, heated front seats, five-star ANCAP safety and many active safety elements. The Chery Tiggo 4 Impressive value for $26,990 drive-away with seven years unlimited km warranty.

Australia’s peak motoring body, the Australian Automobile Association has
called on the re-elected Albanese Government for more action on road
safety. The call comes as new figures show the nation’s road toll continues
to climb. AAA Managing Director Michael Bradley said figures show road
deaths are up by 18.1 per cent in the five years since Australian
Governments set a target of halving national road deaths by 2030.
Following my story on the recommendations of the N.S.W Parliamentary
Committee inquiry into e-scooters and e-bikes I note the recent death of an
e-scooter rider on the South Coast – the 41-year-old rider crashed onto the
roadway and sadly was hit by a car. Over the last five years 30 people have
lost their lives in e-scooter accidents – many of the children’s deaths
attributed to their inexperience of riding e-scooters on busy roads. I’m
