Mechanic's Verdict: Chery

★★★☆☆

Cheapest parts of any brand in Australia — but the DCT and ADAS software are the known pain points. Buy with the 7-year warranty record intact and confirm the ADAS recall (REC-006263) has been completed.

Rating: cost-to-own after 100,000 km, Australia independent-shop pricing.

Chery ownership & common problems

How much do Chery brake pads cost in Australia?

Chery front brake pads run $120-$280 per axle across the Tiggo 4, Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 — the cheapest in the Australian SUV market because Chery prices parts aggressively. Rear pads are $100-$220. Parts are now stocked at most Chery dealers, though independent shops may need to order (1-3 day wait). Replace at 40,000-60,000 km. Aftermarket pads are limited; genuine Chery is the safe choice.

What is Chery's warranty in Australia?

7 years / unlimited km on all Chery models sold in Australia. The Tiggo 4 Pro (renamed Tiggo 4 from April 2025) and Tiggo 7 both carry the full 7-year cover. Condition: servicing must be done at a Chery authorised dealer on schedule. The HEV battery has a separate 8-year warranty.

What are the most common Chery repairs?

ADAS over-sensitivity (phantom braking, aggressive lane-keep) is the #1 complaint — Chery Australia publicly acknowledged this in 2025 and is rolling out Australian-specific recalibration. DCT low-speed shudder on 2025 Elite/Ultimate models (inherent to dry-clutch design, not a fault). Infotainment freezing (resolved by a hard reset via the pinhole button). AC compressor failure on some early-build units.
