Chery has introduced a new entry-level variant of its Tiggo Cross SUV, called the Million Edition, offering a more affordable option for South African buyers. The model seems to celebrate the brand’s milestone of exporting its 1-millionth Tiggo 4 Pro earlier this year, as the Tiggo Cross is essentially a facelifted version of the Tiggo 4.
