The Chery Tiggo 4 has been named Australia’s best affordable small SUV in the 2026 CarExpert Choice Awards, the second consecutive year it has won the award.
It beat out two finalists: the Hyundai Kona and Renault Duster.
The Tiggo 4 represents excellent value for money, particularly in base guise where it costs just $23,990 drive-away. That makes it one of Australia’s cheapest new vehicles.

For that minimal outlay, you get a punchy turbocharged engine when some rivals have more sluggish naturally aspirated engines.
Further boosting its value for money score is Chery’s seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, with up to seven years of capped-price servicing and roadside assistance.
For your money, you also get a well-packaged interior and a long list of standard equipment. Even the base Tiggo 4 has a full roster of active safety and driver-assist technology.
There’s also an available hybrid powertrain, if you’re seeking greater efficiency. But the base Tiggo 4 is astonishingly good value, offering everything you need – and then some – for a low, low price.
