Press Release: On February 24, the Chery Tiggo 4 PRO earned a prestigious five-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). The model achieved impressive scores of 88% in Adult Occupant Protection, 87% in Child Occupant Protection, and 85% in Safety Assist, while also demonstrating outstanding performance in Vulnerable Road User Protection. This achievement means that all three models in the Tiggo series - Tiggo 4, Tiggo 7, and Tiggo 8 - have now secured high-scoring five-star ANCAP ratings. This remarkable feat not only exemplifies Chery's commitment to technological excellence in its global strategy but also sets a new benchmark for SUV safety equity for global users.
All Three TIGGO Models Secure ANCAP Five-Star Ratings
As a flagship model in the Tiggo family, Tiggo 4 PRO demonstrated superior safety performance, outperforming competitors in its class during rigorous ANCAP testing. It achieved full marks in both the Side Impact and Far-Side Impact tests, while its Full Width Frontal test score of 7.48 out of 8 points validated the robustness of its structural design. The vehicle's body, constructed with over 60% high-strength steel, incorporates an aluminum alloy front anti-collision beam and a comprehensive 7-airbag system, creating a formidable safety fortress. Tiggo 4 series also boasts advanced active safety features, integrating nearly 20 ADAS functions including Lane Support System (LSS) and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). These features enable the vehicle to proactively identify potential risks and intervene effectively in complex driving situations.
Tiggo 7 series redefines safety standards through the seamless integration of hardware and software innovations. The entire lineup comes equipped with the Bosch ESP9.3 Electronic Stability Program as standard, leveraging an industry-leading high-performance quad-core processor for millisecond-level responsiveness. This ensures exceptional vehicle stability, even under extreme driving conditions. On the passive safety front, Tiggo 7 features a robust protection system, combining multiple Benteler ultra-high-strength hot-formed steel components with an 8-airbag surround system. This comprehensive safety architecture has proven its effectiveness in providing superior occupant protection, as demonstrated in rigorous ANCAP tests.
As the series' flagship model, Tiggo 8 offers an even more comprehensive safety package. The vehicle boasts an integrated body structure with over 60% high-strength steel, complemented by a 10-airbag system and pre-tensioning, force-limiting seat belts. This combination ensures optimal energy dissipation and precise occupant restraint during collisions, as evidenced in rigorous crash tests. Additionally, its L2-level intelligent driving assistance system enhances safety across diverse and challenging driving conditions. Particularly impressive is its standout performance in rear-end collision protection, which underscores Chery's engineering expertise in body structure mechanics and the seamless integration of occupant protection systems.
TIGGO Series Embodies Safety Excellence with Global Standards
The safety excellence of the TIGGO series is deeply rooted in Chery's independently developed T1X platform technology. Through its lightweight, high-rigidity, and modular design, T1X platform equips new vehicles with exceptional body strength and stability. Chery's commitment to global safety validation is a cornerstone of its technological strategy. T1X platform, driven by market demands, establishes a comprehensive technical ecosystem with a robust R&D system on one end and stringent validation standards on the other. In its R&D efforts, Chery has formed strategic partnerships with global Fortune 500 component manufacturers, implementing rigorous quality control for core components. For validation, the company has invested RMB150 million in establishing Asia's largest crash test laboratory, capable of meeting the stringent standards of A-NCAP, Euro NCAP, IIHS, C-NCAP, and C-IASI, as well as over 80 international safety regulations and standards. Each Tiggo model undergoes a 'global validation system' that exceeds standard requirements, ensuring its safety performance not only meets regional market characteristics but also achieves global applicability.
ANCAP, as the leading safety assessment authority in the Australia-New Zealand region, evaluates vehicles across multiple dimensions, including passive safety, active assistance, and vulnerable road user protection. The TIGGO family's trio of models achieving top marks not only underscores the sophistication of Chery's technological framework but also sets a new benchmark for safety equity in SUVs. Building on the solid foundation of T1X platform and adhering to rigorous global validation processes, Chery is redefining automotive safety standards through its systematic R&D capabilities. This achievement reflects both the success of "Technology-driven Chery" strategy and its commitment to the principle of "safety equity." As the automotive industry rapidly advances toward intelligent mobility, the TIGGO series' ANCAP five-star rating serves as a powerful example, potentially inspiring the industry to adopt a more robust and inclusive safety value system.
