Chery Tiggo 4

Chery Tiggo 4: which version to choose

If the question is which Chery Tiggo 4 to buy, the catalogue data split the model into 3 production waves of the same 1 generation — 1 generation (2017-09-01–2019-07-31, 5 versions), 1 generation, restyling (from 2018-08-01, 4 versions, no end date measured), and 1 generation, restyling 2 (from 2024-01-01, 2 versions, no end date measured). Every listed body is SUV 5-doors.

If the question is which Chery Tiggo 4 to buy, the catalogue data split the model into 3 production waves of the same 1 generation — 1 generation (2017-09-01–2019-07-31, 5 versions), 1 generation, restyling (from 2018-08-01, 4 versions, no end date measured), and 1 generation, restyling 2 (from 2024-01-01, 2 versions, no end date measured). Every listed body is SUV 5-doors. Every measured drive is FWD. The buyer choice is not “which generation number,” but which engine–gearbox pair: naturally aspirated Gasoline 2.0 at 122 hp, turbo Gasoline 1.5 at 147 hp, Electro 2.0 MT at 129 hp, or Hybrid 1.5 AT at 222 hp. Two names repeat: 2.0 MT exists as 122 hp Gasoline and as 129 hp Electro; 1.5 AT exists as 147 hp Gasoline and as 222 hp Hybrid. Those must not be mixed.

Generations: what actually changed between the three waves

1 generation (2017-09-01 to 2019-07-31) is the only wave with a measured 0–100 km/h time on the Gasoline cars and the only wave with an Electro version. Its five names are 2.0 CVT, 1.5 MT, 1.5 DSG, 2.0 MT (122 hp Gasoline), and 2.0 MT (129 hp Electro). Ground clearance is 171 mm on 1.5 MT, 1.5 DSG, and 2.0 MT 122 hp; 190 mm on 2.0 CVT; 161 mm on 2.0 MT Electro. Fuel on the Gasoline cars is 95. Euro class is Euro 5 only on 2.0 CVT; on 1.5 MT, 1.5 DSG, and both 2.0 MT it is not measured.

1 generation, restyling (from 2018-08-01) keeps four names: 2.0 MT, 2.0 CVT, 1.5 DCT, 1.5 MT. The robotic turbo is renamed from 1.5 DSG to 1.5 DCT; power stays 147 hp and 210 Nm, kerb weight stays 1489 kg. The 2.0 cars switch fuel from 95 to 92 and gain a measured compression ratio of 10.5. Ground clearance on 2.0 MT, 2.0 CVT, and 1.5 DCT is 190 mm — 2.0 MT 122 hp rises 19 mm versus the 171 mm of 1 generation 2.0 MT 122 hp. 1.5 MT stays at 171 mm. All four versions are Euro 5. The Electro 2.0 MT is gone.

1 generation, restyling 2 (from 2024-01-01) drops the 2.0 line and the manuals. Only two versions remain, both named 1.5 AT, both Robotic 6-speed FWD, both 1498 cm³, 4 Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, front transverse, distributed injection (multi-point), 77 x 80.5 bore and stroke. 1.5 AT 147 hp is Gasoline, fuel 92, 210 Nm at 4000 rpm, compression 11. 1.5 AT 222 hp is Hybrid, fuel 95, 265 Nm at 4000 rpm, compression 15.5. Boost on both is not measured. Tank is 51 L, 6 L smaller than the 57 L tank of 1 generation and 1 generation, restyling. Ground clearance is not measured. Rear brakes are not measured. Wheels are measured only on 1.5 AT 147 hp: 215/55 R18 and 215/60 R17.

Engines and specs (every version, exact names)

Power per litre (hp ÷ displacement in litres): 2.0 122 hp / 1.971 L = 61.9 hp/L. Turbo 1.5 147 hp / 1.498 L = 98.1 hp/L — 36.2 hp/L more specific output. 1.5 AT 147 hp is the same 98.1 hp/L. 1.5 AT 222 hp Hybrid is 148.2 hp/L — 50.1 hp/L above the turbo Gasoline 1.5 and 86.3 hp/L above the 2.0. The Electro 2.0 MT has displacement not measured, so hp/L is not measured.

Torque: 2.0 Gasoline and Electro 2.0 MT share 180 Nm. Turbo 1.5 and 1.5 AT 147 hp have 210 Nm — 30 Nm more. 1.5 AT Hybrid has 265 Nm — 55 Nm more than the 147 hp 1.5 AT, 85 Nm more than the 2.0. Peak rpm for 210 Nm is a band 1750–4000 on 1.5 MT, 1.5 DSG, 1.5 DCT; a single 4000 on 1.5 AT 147 hp. That is a spec-sheet difference, not a measured in-gear result.

Performance, mpg, and horsepower: who is actually quicker and who uses less fuel

0–100 km/h is measured on only five of eleven rows. 1 generation 1.5 MT and 1.5 DSG: 9.7 s. 1 generation 2.0 MT 122 hp: 11.3 s — 1.6 s slower. 1.5 AT 147 hp: 10.0 s — 0.3 s slower than the 9.7 s of the earlier 147 hp cars. 1.5 AT 222 hp Hybrid: 8.9 s — 1.1 s faster than the 147 hp 1.5 AT, 0.8 s faster than 1.5 MT/1.5 DSG. Not measured: both restyling 2.0 cars, restyling 1.5 DCT and 1.5 MT, 1 generation 2.0 CVT, Electro 2.0 MT.

Top speed: 190 km/h on 1.5 MT (both waves), 1.5 DSG, 1.5 DCT. 185 km/h on 1.5 AT 147 hp — 5 km/h below the 190 km/h 147 hp cars. 180 km/h on both Gasoline 2.0 MT. 174 km/h on restyling 2.0 CVT — 6 km/h below restyling 2.0 MT. 160 km/h on Electro 2.0 MT. 150 km/h on 1.5 AT Hybrid — the highest horsepower (222 hp) and the lowest measured top speed. 1 generation 2.0 CVT top speed is not measured.

Combined consumption, where measured: restyling 2.0 MT 8 L/100 km; 2.0 CVT 8.2; 1.5 DCT 7.2; 1.5 AT 147 hp 6.8; 1.5 AT Hybrid 5.3. 1.5 DCT uses 0.8 L/100 km less combined than 2.0 MT and 1.0 L/100 km less than 2.0 CVT. 1.5 AT 147 hp uses 0.4 L/100 km less than 1.5 DCT. The Hybrid uses 1.5 L/100 km less than 1.5 AT 147 hp and 2.9 L/100 km less than restyling 2.0 MT. City: 2.0 CVT 11.2, 2.0 MT 10.6, 1.5 DCT 9.3, 1.5 AT 147 hp 8.8. Highway: 2.0 MT 6.5, 2.0 CVT 6.4, 1.5 DCT 6, 1.5 AT 147 hp 5.8. Combined/city/highway on 1 generation Gasoline cars, restyling 1.5 MT, Electro 2.0 MT, and city/highway on the Hybrid are not measured.

CO2: Electro 2.0 MT 0; 1.5 AT Hybrid 120; 1.5 AT 147 hp 161. Difference Hybrid versus 147 hp 1.5 AT: 41. All other CO2 values are not measured.

Dimensions, weight, ground clearance, tank

Kerb weight per horsepower (kg/hp): restyling 1.5 MT 1453/147 = 9.88; restyling 1.5 DCT 1489/147 = 10.13; restyling 2.0 MT 1440/122 = 11.80; restyling 2.0 CVT 1494/122 = 12.25. Same four ratios apply to the matching 1 generation Gasoline cars (same kerb weights). 1.5 AT 147 hp: 1462/147 = 9.95. 1.5 AT Hybrid: 1550/222 = 6.98 — lightest per horsepower. Electro 2.0 MT: 1560/129 = 12.09. Absolute lightest car: 2.0 MT 122 hp at 1440 kg. Heaviest: Electro 2.0 MT at 1560 kg (120 kg more). Hybrid is 88 kg heavier than 1.5 AT 147 hp (1550 vs 1462) and 107 kg heavier than restyling 1.5 MT.

Gross weight is measured only in restyling 2: 1.5 AT 147 hp 1798 kg (payload 1798−1462 = 336 kg); 1.5 AT Hybrid 1905 kg (payload 1905−1550 = 355 kg, 19 kg more). Gross weight on all earlier versions is not measured.

Ground clearance: 190 mm is the high setting (1 generation 2.0 CVT; restyling 2.0 MT, 2.0 CVT, 1.5 DCT). 171 mm is the low Gasoline setting (1 generation 1.5 MT, 1.5 DSG, 2.0 MT 122 hp; restyling 1.5 MT) — 19 mm less. Electro 2.0 MT is 161 mm — 10 mm below 171 and 29 mm below 190. Restyling 2 clearance is not measured.

Tank: 57 L on every 1 generation and restyling Gasoline car; not measured on Electro 2.0 MT; 51 L on both 1.5 AT. Wheel sizes: not measured except 1.5 AT 147 hp (215/55 R18, 215/60 R17). Suspension is Independent, spring front and rear on every version. Front brakes are Ventilated disc on every version. Rear brakes are Disc on 1 generation and restyling; not measured on restyling 2.

Which version to choose

Buy 1 generation, restyling 2 1.5 AT (222 hp Hybrid) if the numbers that matter are power, 0–100, combined mpg, and CO2. It is the only Hybrid. It has the catalogue peak of 222 hp and 265 Nm, the fastest measured 0–100 at 8.9 s, the lowest measured combined use at 5.3 L/100 km, and CO2 120. Specific output 148.2 hp/L and 6.98 kg/hp are the best ratios in the file. Trade-offs that are also in the data: top speed 150 km/h (lowest), kerb 1550 kg (second-heaviest), tank 51 L, fuel 95, clearance not measured, city and highway mpg not measured.

Buy 1 generation, restyling 2 1.5 AT (147 hp) if you want the newest Gasoline automatic without the Hybrid. Same Robotic 6-speed FWD shell as the Hybrid, 147 hp / 210 Nm, 0–100 10.0 s, top speed 185 km/h, combined 6.8 L/100 km, city 8.8, highway 5.8, CO2 161, fuel 92, tank 51 L, kerb 1462 kg, gross 1798 kg. Versus restyling 1.5 DCT (same 147 hp, 1489 kg, 7.2 combined, 9.3 city, 6 highway, 57 L tank, 190 mm clearance, fuel 95): 1.5 AT 147 hp is 27 kg lighter, 0.4 L/100 km better combined, 0.5 better city, 0.2 better highway, 6 L less tank, 5 km/h lower top speed than the 190 km/h of 1.5 DCT, and 0–100 of 1.5 DCT is not measured. Compression 11 versus not measured on 1.5 DCT. Boost on 1.5 AT is not measured; on 1.5 DCT it is Turbo.

Buy 1 generation, restyling 1.5 DCT if you want a measured 190 mm clearance, 57 L tank, Euro 5, and a robotic 147 hp car without waiting for restyling 2. Versus restyling 1.5 MT (same 147 hp, 1453 kg, 171 mm, mpg not measured): 1.5 DCT is 36 kg heavier, 19 mm higher, and is the only restyling 147 hp car with measured mpg. Versus restyling 2.0 CVT (122 hp, 1494 kg, 8.2 combined): 1.5 DCT has 25 hp and 30 Nm more, 5 kg less weight, 16 km/h more top speed (190 vs 174), and 1.0 L/100 km less combined.

Buy 1 generation, restyling 1.5 MT if you want the lightest 147 hp car (1453 kg, 9.88 kg/hp) and a Manual 6. Clearance stays 171 mm. Combined/city/highway and 0–100 are not measured on this restyling row; use 1 generation 1.5 MT for the 9.7 s figure (same 147 hp, same 1453 kg, same 171 mm).

Buy 1 generation 1.5 MT or 1.5 DSG if you need a measured 9.7 s 0–100 on a 147 hp Gasoline Tiggo 4. They share 9.7 s and 190 km/h. 1.5 MT is 36 kg lighter (1453 vs 1489). 1.5 DSG is the robotic twin of restyling 1.5 DCT at the same 1489 kg. Euro class and mpg on both are not measured. Fuel is 95.

Buy 1 generation, restyling 2.0 MT if you want the lightest Tiggo 4 (1440 kg), 190 mm clearance, fuel 92, a 5-speed Manual, and measured mpg. 122 hp, 180 Nm, 10.6/6.5/8, top speed 180, Euro 5, compression 10.5. Versus restyling 2.0 CVT: 54 kg lighter, 6 km/h faster top speed, 0.6 L/100 km less city, 0.2 L/100 km less combined, 0.1 L/100 km more highway. Versus 1 generation 2.0 MT 122 hp: same 1440 kg and 180 km/h; restyling adds 19 mm clearance (190 vs 171), fuel 92 instead of 95, Euro 5 instead of not measured, and mpg instead of not measured; 1 generation has the only 0–100 for this engine at 11.3 s.

Buy 1 generation, restyling 2.0 CVT if you want Variable, 190 mm, 92 fuel, and will accept the weakest weight-to-power among Gasoline cars (12.25 kg/hp) and the highest measured combined use (8.2). Versus 1 generation 2.0 CVT: same 122 hp, 1494 kg, 190 mm; restyling adds 10.5 compression, 92 instead of 95, and mpg; 1 generation top speed and mpg are not measured.

Buy 1 generation 2.0 MT (129 hp Electro) only if the requirement is Electro and CO2 0. 129 hp, 180 Nm, Automatic 1, top speed 160 km/h, kerb 1560 kg, clearance 161 mm. Displacement, cylinders, layout, boost, 0–100, mpg, tank, Euro class are not measured. It is 120 kg heavier and 29 mm lower than restyling 2.0 MT 122 hp.

Do not treat “Tiggo 4 Pro”, “Ultimate”, 2025/2026 horsepower, engine oil capacity, or asking price as facts here — those strings appear in search queries, not in this dataset. Engine problems and reliability are not measured. What the extra specification buys, in arithmetic: 25 hp and 30 Nm for 1.5 versus 2.0; 75 hp and 55 Nm for 1.5 AT Hybrid versus 1.5 AT 147 hp; 1.1 s 0–100 and 41 CO2 for that same Hybrid step; 19 mm clearance when restyling raised 2.0 MT from 171 to 190 mm; 6 L tank when restyling 2 cut 57 to 51. Those are the differences the numbers actually contain.
