Comparing the Chery Tiggo 4 Cross (R309 900) and Toyota Corolla Cross (R506 100) – see how price, engine, warranty and safety stack up below.
The instalment, the fuel bill and the five-year figure — worked out on your deposit, your rate and your driving. Every specification below comes from a verified record.
The five-year figure is finance instalments and fuel only — it does not include servicing, insurance, tyres or depreciation. It is a cost-to-buy-and-run comparison, not a full cost of ownership.
Fuel costs aren't shown — and that's the finding, not a gap in our data. Chery Tiggo 4 Cross reports NEDC; Toyota Corolla Cross does not state which test standard was used. Figures from different test standards can't be compared directly, so we withhold the fuel cost rather than publish a misleading one.
Fuel cost and total cost-to-own are not shown for this comparison — see note above.

~95 authorised service points, as at 2 September 2026 In all 9 provinces. Counted 2 September 2026 from Chery South Africa's own dealer list at /dealers, which totals itself: "Dealerships (99)". Four of the 99 are outside South Africa - Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique and Zambia, all filed under the list's "Other" province - leaving 95. Chery's list does not distinguish outlets that service vehicles from sales-only ones, so this counts dealer outlets.
~179 authorised service points, as at 18 August 2026 In all 9 provinces. Service-manager contact present per pin in Toyota's own dealer locator.
Blank cells are figures the manufacturer doesn’t publish for South Africa, or that we haven’t confirmed against an official source. We leave them empty rather than estimating them. A third kind of blank is different again: some fields don’t apply to a vehicle at all — an electric car has no fuel tank — and those are named separately below and left out of that vehicle’s verified count, which is why the counts on the cards above can be out of different totals.

Cost-to-own figures are illustrative only: a standard reducing-balance loan calculation using the deposit, trade-in, balloon, interest rate, term and driving assumptions above, plus fuel at the price you set. They exclude insurance, licensing and servicing, and are not a loan quote — get a real quote from our Finance Calculator. Specifications shown are the fields we’ve verified against official South African sources for each vehicle; anything not shown is marked “Not published” rather than estimated.
