Chery South Africa is breaking new ground in vehicle affordability and quality with the launch of Cherished, its official certified pre-owned programme. Designed to extend the brand’s value offering to an even broader audience, this initiative makes owning a Chery Tiggo more accessible than ever—without compromising on peace of mind or performance.
Already known for its affordability, the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro LiT retails brand new for just R279,900, positioning it as one of the most competitively priced SUVs in the country. With the introduction of Cherished, Chery aims to attract even more value-conscious buyers by offering expertly vetted, pre-owned models that come with many of the perks of a new vehicle—at a significantly lower cost.
Quality You Can Trust
Every vehicle sold through Cherished undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection to ensure it meets Chery’s high standards for quality, safety, and reliability. This includes thorough checks by qualified technicians and a full service history within the Chery dealership network.
Importantly, all Cherished vehicles retain the remainder of Chery’s impressive 10-year/one-million-kilometre engine warranty—one of the most generous warranties in the market. Buyers can also count on at least one year or 15,000 km remaining on the service plan, providing additional assurance.
Meeting Buyers Where They Are
With inflation placing pressure on the cost of new vehicles, many South African motorists are opting for more budget-friendly alternatives. This often means sacrificing features or quality to stay within budget. Chery’s Cherished programme provides a much-needed solution: premium pre-owned Tiggo SUVs that offer all the bells and whistles—without the premium price tag.
“Through Cherished, we’re offering customers exceptional vehicles that are still backed by Chery’s renowned commitment to excellence,” says Jay Jay Botes, General Manager of Chery South Africa. “Our goal is to give buyers the confidence they need to choose a pre-owned model without feeling like they’re settling for less.”
