You can pay up with a smile for the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro DCT

What is the easiest way to make motoring reporters cringe? Tell them they'll be driving a car with continuously variable transmission or CVT for short.

You can pay up with a smile for the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro DCT

It turns out Chery customers and the motoring media have something in common.

According to feedback from the Chinese carmaker's research team, Chery Tiggo 4 Pro CVT owners have expressed their desire for "sportier transmission and a better fuel-efficient consumption option".

This prompted Chery to introduce a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox used in the Tiggo Pro 4 1.5T LiT and 1.5T Elite derivatives. The box is hooked up to a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that sends 108kW of power and 210Nm of torque to the front wheels.

Chery Tiggo Pro 4 buyers will now be spoilt for choice as the 10-strong model range will still feature CVT and manual options.

But after spending a week in the 1.5T Elite DCT recently, we reckon the DCT models will be much sought after.
