Chery’s TIGGO 7 PRO Max: A Safe Bet or Just a Safe Car?

In the world of automobiles, where every car seems to be racing to out-tech, out-style, and out-everything each other, Chery has pulled a classic move with its TIGGO 7 PRO – or as it’s known in the exotic lands of South Africa, the Tiggo 7 PRO Max. This little gem has recently snagged a 5-star safety rating from ANCAP, the tough-as-nails Australian car examiners. That’s like winning a gold star from your strictest teacher; you know you’ve done something right.

Now, let’s talk numbers, and I’m not just talking about the speedometer. The TIGGO 7 PRO scored an impressive 88% for Adult Occupant Protection and 87% for Child Occupant Protection. That’s the automotive equivalent of a protective mother hen. Vulnerable Road User Protection? A solid 72%. And for the tech lovers, a heartwarming 86% in Safety Assist. If this car were a superhero, it’d wear a cape with “Safety First” emblazoned on it.

Verene Petersen, the Marketing Maestro of Chery South Africa, couldn’t hide her glee. “We are delighted,” she exclaimed, echoing the sentiments of parents everywhere who now know their offspring can drive something safer than a tank.

But Chery isn’t just resting on its laurels. No, they’ve been as busy as a one-armed wallpaper hanger, introducing the entire range of new models faster than you can say “Tiggo 7 PRO Max”. There’s the Tiggo 8 Pro MAX, the Tiggo 4 Pro LiT, and the star of our show, the Tiggo 7 Pro MAX. Each one is setting a new benchmark in the “How Much Car Can You Get For Your Money” Olympics.

The Tiggo 7 Pro MAX, in particular, is like a Swiss Army knife on wheels. All-wheel drive? Check. An AI-optimised camera-array that can probably make your morning coffee too? Check. And my personal favourite, a Driver Monitoring System that’s more attentive than a nosy neighbor, checking if you’re sleepy or just daydreaming about being a Formula 1 driver.

Under the hood, there’s a 145 kW 1.6 TGDI-engine that comes with a warranty longer than most marriages – 10 years or a million kilometres. That’s not just confidence; that’s “we dare you to try and break it” confidence.

And for those who count their pennies or just want a taste of the Chery life, there’s the Tiggo 4 Pro LiT. It’s like the entry-level ticket to the Chery club, where everyone’s welcome, and safety is the bouncer.

In conclusion, Chery’s TIGGO 7 PRO Max isn’t just a safe car; it’s a statement. A statement that says, “We care about your safety, but we also know you want a car that’s as smart as your smartphone.” It’s a balancing act between brawn and brains, and Chery seems to be walking that tightrope with the grace of a seasoned acrobat. So, if you’re in the market for a car that wraps you in a safety bubble and still gets you from A to B in style, you might want to tip your hat to Chery. They seem to know what they’re doing.
