On May 24, the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max, with its outstanding SAFETY features, received the highest honor of a five-star safety rating in the latest round of reviews by the Australian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP SAFETY). The Chery Tigo8 Pro Max was launched in Australia in May 2024. The ANCAP safety rating for the Chery Tiger-8 Pro Max is based on testing of its partner model, the Chery Tiger-7 Pro. ANCAP conducted additional pedestrian crash tests and obtained technical information to show that the test results from the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro also apply to the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max. This ANCAP safety rating also applies to all Chery Tigo 8 Pro Max models.
The Tigo 8 Pro Max has received the prestigious ANCAP five-star certification in Australia, highlighting its comprehensive safety design and reinforcing Chery's commitment to user safety. As a carefully built premium SUV, the Tigo8 Pro Max has put safety first from the start, integrating numerous industry-leading safety technologies.
Built on Chery's self-developed T1X platform, the Tigo 8 Pro Max is known for its lightweight, high rigidity and modular characteristics, with excellent body strength and stability. The vehicle uses ultra-high strength steel from the T1X platform, which has excellent torsional stiffness, with torsion stiffness up to 21,000 Nm/deg. The third generation of high-strength steel integrated cage body was developed after more than 100,000 experiments, optimized the main structure, and met the strict material requirements. High-strength steel accounts for more than 60% of the vehicle's body weight, and the design uses bamboo-inspired partitions to enhance structural integrity. Key areas, including the cab, are reinforced with six Benteler ultra-high strength thermoformed steels, further enhancing collision resistance. The front impact beam is made of high energy absorbing aluminum alloy, which balances impact absorption, force transfer and lightweight performance to protect occupants in case of collision. This meticulous design and engineering ensures that the Tigo 8 Pro Max offers unmatched safety, reflecting Chery's technical strength and dedication to the protection of smart car users.
In terms of safety, the Tigo 8 Pro Max is equipped with several L2 level ADAS, including Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Traffic Congestion Assist (TJA), Integrated Cruise Assist (ICA) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW). These systems provide comprehensive safety protection in a variety of driving scenarios, enhancing safety and driving comfort.
The Australian Tigo8 Pro Max is also equipped with 10 airbags to protect passengers of different sizes and in a variety of collision scenarios. In addition to the traditional six airbags, it is also equipped with driver knee airbags, seat center airbags and second row side airbags to provide multi-directional safety protection.
In addition, the Tigo8 Pro Max's side-curtain airbag features 6-second pressure retention technology. This feature maintains airbag pressure for six seconds after deployment, providing continuous protection to passengers and ensuring a safe environment immediately after a collision. This advanced technology significantly improves the safety performance of the vehicle and provides comprehensive protection for the passengers.
Mr. Zhu Shaodong, CEO of Chery Brand, said: "The Tigo8 Pro Max demonstrates our strong commitment to safety and intelligent driving. It represents Chery's highest commitment to user safety and demonstrates Chery's technological strength in the era of smart cars. We are confident that with continued technological innovation and enhanced safety features, the Tigo 8 Pro Max will be a trusted partner for users around the world, leading the future of mobility."
