Full specifications
| Engine capacity | 1.5 LnoteDisplacement stated directly in the derivative name (1.5L), confirmed by the 1.5L engine row in the spec sheet. |
| Cylinders | 4noteFour-cylinder 1.5-litre petrol engine. |
| Power | 83 kW |
| Torque | 138 Nmnote138 Nm at 4 000 rpm, the figure for Chery’s naturally aspirated 1.5 (E4G15) wherever that engine is sold. |
| Transmission | CVT |
| Gears | N/A |
| Drivetrain | FWD |
| Consumption cycle | NEDCnoteChery SA brochure (Tiggo-Cross-Specifications.pdf) labels the row 'Combined Fuel Consumption (L/km)' with the footnote 'Fuel consumption calculations according to Government ECE R101 or SANS 20101 standards.' ECE R101 is the NEDC test procedure and SANS 20101 is South Africa's adoption of it; 'WLTP' does not appear in the document. Classified nedc (rule 2: regulation cited). Corrects a prior record note that incorrectly claimed the brochure labels the figure 'WLTP'. |
| Fuel consumption | 7.3 L/100km |
| Fuel tank | 51 Lnote51 litres, stated for the Tiggo Cross LiT by a road test of the LiT CVT and by a Chery South Africa dealer group. Chery South Africa’s own specification sheet does not state the tank size. |
| Fuel grade | Not specified |
| Range | 698 kmnoteFuel tank divided by the claimed consumption (51 L at 7.3 L/100 km), rounded down. |
| 0-100 km/h | 14.6 snoteAbout 14.6 seconds, the figure listed for the same 83 kW 1.5 CVT Tiggo 4 in Russia. Chery South Africa does not publish one. |
| CO2 emissions | 167 g/km |
| Seats | 5 |
| Doors | 5noteStandard four side doors plus tailgate for a 5-seat SUV bodystyle. |
| Length | 4 351 mm |
| Width | 1 831 mm |
| Height | 1 662 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2 610 mm |
| Ground clearance | 180 mmnote180 mm, stated for the LiT derivatives by a Chery South Africa dealer group and independently by an SA motoring publication. Chery South Africa’s own specification sheet, model page and owners-area pages publish no ground-clearance figure. |
| Boot (behind 2nd row) | 340 Lnote340 litres with all seats in use, as reported in South Africa. The Philippine listing gives 380 litres, and no measurement standard is named. |
| Boot (behind last row) | 340 LnoteThe Tiggo Cross is a five-seater, so the space behind the last row is the same as behind the second row. |
| Boot (seats folded) | 1 063 LnoteAbout 1 063 litres with the rear seats folded, from one South African publication. |
| Kerb weight | Not specified |
| Gross vehicle mass | 1 701 kg |
| Payload | Not specified |
| Towing (braked) | Not specified |
| Towing (unbraked) | Not specified |
| Safety rating | No crash-test rating for this versionnoteGlobal NCAP has not tested the Tiggo Cross. Euro NCAP's rating for the European Tiggo 4 (2025) covers only the 1.5 hybrid, not this 1.5 petrol. ANCAP's five-star rating for the Tiggo sold in Australia covers cars with curtain and centre airbags; this version has four airbags (front and front side only), so the rating is not applied here. |
| Airbags | 4 |
| Airbag positions | Dual Front (Driver+Passenger), Front Side (x2) |

| How it is supplied | Included with the vehicle |
| Service interval (distance) | 15 000 kmnoteEvery 15 000 km or 12 months after a first service at 5 000 km or 6 months, as stated by two Chery South Africa dealer groups. Chery South Africa publishes the plan but not the interval. |
| Service interval (time) | 12 monthsnoteEvery 15 000 km or 12 months after a first service at 5 000 km or 6 months, as stated by two Chery South Africa dealer groups. Chery South Africa publishes the plan but not the interval. |
| Spare wheel | Space-saver Compare spare wheels across all SUVs →noteManufacturer source states: "Spare tyre – T125/80 R17" (Chery SA specification sheet), standard across the range including this derivative. T-prefix and 125mm width on a 17-inch rim = space-saver. |
| Service network | ~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. Compare service networks across all brands →noteNinety-five South African Chery outlets. Corrected from 92 by enumerating the full self-totalling list rather than sampling it. |
What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
- Fuel grade — Chery South Africa does not state the fuel grade for this engine.
- 0-100 km/h (unverified) — About 14.6 seconds, the figure listed for the same 83 kW 1.5 CVT Tiggo 4 in Russia. Chery South Africa does not publish one.
- Boot (seats folded) (unverified) — About 1 063 litres with the rear seats folded, from one South African publication.
- Kerb weight — Chery South Africa does not publish a kerb weight for the Tiggo Cross LiT.
- Payload — Cannot be worked out without a kerb weight.
- Towing (braked) — The figure previously shown here was 1 300 kg / 750 kg carried forward from a prior Tiggo 4 Pro record that is no longer in the catalogue, so the join to this derivative is unproven. Chery South Africa’s own Tiggo Cross specification sheet publishes no towing figure for any derivative, and no SA road test or dealer sheet states one for the LiT.
- Towing (unbraked) — The figure previously shown here was 1 300 kg / 750 kg carried forward from a prior Tiggo 4 Pro record that is no longer in the catalogue, so the join to this derivative is unproven. Chery South Africa’s own Tiggo Cross specification sheet publishes no towing figure for any derivative, and no SA road test or dealer sheet states one for the LiT.
