Drive in Style this Festive Season: Why the Chery Tiggo Cross Is Your Ideal SUV for Cape Town Adventures 

Beach days, wine farms, sunset drives, Christmas markets, coastal road trips… there’s a lot to do and see in Cape Town during the festive season! If you want a stylish, capable SUV that can do it all without breaking the bank, the Chery Tiggo Cross deserves a spot at the top of your list. 

At Thorp Chery Plumstead and Thorp Chery Table Bay, you can explore the full Tiggo Cross range and test-drive the model that fits your lifestyle best. Whatever adventures you choose this year, the Chery Cross in Cape Town brings the perfect blend of value, comfort, and festive-season versatility. 

Why the Chery Tiggo Cross Stands Out 

The Chery Cross is designed for real South African drivers. It’s spacious, stylish, well-specced, and perfect for tackling Cape Town’s busy holiday season roads. 

Two Trims for Every Driver: Comfort & Elite 

Whether you prefer affordability or full-spec luxury, both trims deliver outstanding features: 

Comfort Highlights 

  • 1.5T engine (108 kW & 210 Nm) 
  • 17-inch alloys 
  • Leatherette seats 
  • 6 airbags 
  • 10.25” digital instrument cluster 
  • 10.25” infotainment with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto 
  • Sony 6-speaker audio 

Elite Highlights 

  • 18-inch alloys 
  • Panoramic sunroof 
  • 360° camera 
  • Additional airbags & advanced ADAS 
  • Drive mode selection 
  • Semi-autonomous safety tech: Lane Change Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, AEB, Blind Spot Monitoring 

Both models share the Tiggo Cross’s bold styling, confident stance, and excellent build quality. 

Fuel Efficiency & Warranty 

The Tiggo Cross claims 6.5 L/100 km (real-world varies), but thanks to its 1.5T engine and dual-clutch transmission, it still delivers solid efficiency for city and long-distance travel. And with Thorp Chery, of course, you also get our legendary 10-year / 1 million km warranty thrown in free of charge.  

Adventure-Ready Features for Cape Town Trips 

Whether it’s a road trip to Franschhoek or a festive sunset drive along Chapman’s Peak, the Tiggo Cross is built to make every kilometre fun!

Perfect for navigation, playlists, and holiday entertainment.

  • Beach umbrellas & coolers 
  • Holiday suitcases 
  • Picnic baskets 
  • Sports gear for summer adventures 

And the wide-opening tailgate makes loading and unloading effortless.

  • Road trips to Cape Point

  • Navigating busy malls
