KUALA LUMPUR: The Chery Tiggo 7 has become the only Chinese-brand vehicle to secure the highest five-star safety ratings from all four leading global automotive safety authorities.
They are the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP), New Car Assessment Programme for Southeast Asian Countries (Asean NCAP) and China New Car Assessment Programme (C-NCAP).
Chery said the Tiggo 7’s global safety recognition reflects the automaker’s commitment to safety engineering.
The model adopts a cage-type energy-absorbing body structure, with high strength steel accounting for more than 60 per cent of the vehicle’s construction, while critical areas are reinforced with 1500 MPa hot-formed steel.
Eight airbags are also provided as standard across the lineup.
In addition, the Tiggo 7 integrates a range of intelligent safety technologies.
The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system detects vehicles and pedestrians ahead before applying brake pressure when needed.
The 540-degree transparent chassis view provides a comprehensive view of the vehicle’s surroundings, helping drivers eliminate blind spots and manoeuvre with greater confidence.
At end-2025, the Tiggo 7 earned a five-star Asean NCAP rating with a record-setting score of 94.68 points, the highest in the organisation’s history since its founding in 2011.
It secured perfect scores in both Adult Occupant Protection and Safety Assist, making it the only plug-in hybrid model to obtain a ‘double perfect score’.
Designed to address Southeast Asia’s challenging traffic conditions, often characterised by dense motorcycle movement and dynamic traffic flow, the Tiggo 7’s L2+ intelligent driver assistance system includes enhanced blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
These systems automatically activate at speeds above 15 km/h to help reduce the risk of collisions during lane changes or when opening doors.
Complementing these features is a strong passive safety foundation, with a body structure made from over 61% high-strength steel and a front aluminium anti-collision beam designed to preserve cabin integrity even during severe impacts.
In October 2025, the Tiggo 7 received a five-star rating from Euro NCAP, delivering balanced performance across key safety categories including Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable Road User Protection and Safety Assist.
Just two months later, ANCAP confirmed that the Australia-spec Tiggo 7 CSH maintained the same strong performance demonstrated in Europe and secured a five-star ANCAP safety rating.
Meanwhile, in February 2026, Chery recorded global sales of 161,000 vehicles, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 41.5%.
Chery’s export momentum also remains robust, with monthly exports surpassing 100,000 units for 10 consecutive months.
To date, Chery Group has accumulated more than 18.89 million users worldwide, including over 6.09 million overseas customers, making it the first Chinese automotive brand to break
the six million overseas users milestone.
