Price Breakdown
The Chery Tiggo 4 Hybrid starts from $27,500 (our estimated RRP; the brand lists drive-away prices only) before on-road costs, while the Kia Stonic opens at $26,990. Both land at the same RRP, so on-road costs and dealer deals become the real differentiator.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $30,250 and $29,689 respectively.
Over 5 years, the running costs are nearly identical since both have similar efficiency.
