Chery has strengthened its safety credentials with the Tiggo 7 CSH earning a five-star Euro NCAP rating in October, following strong performances across all four of the programme’s assessment categories.
In October, the Chery Tiggo 7 CSH achieved a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, earning high scores across all four assessment categories: Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable Road User Protection, and Safety Assist, demonstrating its comprehensive safety capabilities.
The Tiggo 7 earned a score of 82% in Adult Occupant Protection, thanks to its “cage-type space capsule” body structure. The main frame is built with over 60% high-strength steel, while key areas like the A- and B-pillars are reinforced with 1500MPa hot-formed steel. Even in severe side-impact scenarios, the passenger compartment remains intact, preserving crucial survival space for front-row occupants. That kind of assurance forms the foundation of peace of mind for the entire family.
In the Child Occupant Protection test, the Tiggo 7 CSH achieved a final rating of 85%. This is a result of its thoughtful design for younger passengers, which includes features such as i-Size-compliant child seat anchors and demonstrated near-perfect protection for both six- and 10-year–old child dummies in crash testing. Whether for daily school runs or weekend family trips, the Tiggo 7 CSH provides comprehensive protection for its youngest occupants.
A vehicle’s safety should extend beyond the cabin and into its surroundings. In urban settings—near schools, residential areas, and shopping districts—a child might dart out into the road, or an elderly pedestrian could be slowly crossing the street. The Tiggo 7 CSH is equipped with a suite of driver assistance systems, such as AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking), which delivers precise detection and intervention when required. This capability helped it earn an 80% score in the Vulnerable Road User Protection category.
The Tiggo 7 CSH’s ADAS suite acts like an intelligent co-pilot, offering steady and reliable support with lane-keeping and speed assistance on highways. The eye-tracker-based fatigue monitoring system, for example, detects signs of distraction or drowsiness and delivers timely alerts. Safeguards such as this helped the Tiggo 7 CSH earn a 78% score in the Safety Assist category.
“South African buyers are increasingly looking for vehicles that offer the right mix of affordability, technology and safety,” commented Refiloe Mokoena, Product Manager at Chery South Africa. “The Tiggo 7 CSH’s Euro NCAP rating speaks directly to those priorities. It also brings strong hybrid performance and efficiency to the segment, delivering 265 kW, up to 90 km of electric-only driving, and notably low fuel consumption from 4.9L/100 km. For many families, that combination adds real value to everyday use.”
