A reliable family SUV must prioritize safety, space, comfort, and fuel efficiency. The Chery Tiggo range has been specifically engineered to meet these demands, offering a compelling blend of features, technology, and value that makes it a strong contender in the South African market.

When it comes to family vehicles, safety is non-negotiable. Look for high ANCAP safety ratings and comprehensive safety systems.

• What to Look For: The best family SUVs feature robust crash-test results, a full suite of airbags, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) like lane departure warning and blind-spot monitoring.
• How Chery Delivers: All Chery Tiggo models, including the Tiggo 4 Pro, Tiggo 7 Pro, and Tiggo 8 Pro, have achieved a 5-star ANCAP safety rating for their exceptional protection. They come equipped with 6 to 9 airbags and an array of ADAS technologies, including autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert, placing them on par with many premium brands.

A family SUV needs to be more than just a car; it must be a comfortable sanctuary for long journeys and daily commutes alike. Ample space for passengers and cargo is essential.

• What to Look For: Prioritize comfortable seating, a generous boot for all your luggage, and flexible seating arrangements to accommodate changing needs.
• How Chery Delivers: Chery offers a range of sizes to suit every family. The Tiggo 4 Pro is ideal for smaller families seeking a compact yet roomy city SUV. The Tiggo 7 Pro provides more legroom and boot space for growing families, while the Tiggo 8 Pro offers a full-size, seven-seater configuration, perfect for larger families.

Fuel efficiency is a critical factor for managing long-term ownership costs, especially with rising fuel prices.

• What to Look For: Search for vehicles with low fuel consumption, turbocharged engines that balance power and economy, and specific drive modes (like ECO) that optimize fuel use.
• How Chery Delivers: All Tiggo models are equipped with turbocharged engines that are designed for efficiency. For instance, the claimed fuel consumption for the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is as low as 6.8L/100km. Most models also include an Eco mode to help reduce fuel usage during city driving.

Modern family SUVs are hubs of technology, providing convenience, entertainment, and an extra layer of safety.

• How Chery Delivers: Chery’s SUVs boast large touchscreen displays (10.25” to 12.3”) with seamless smartphone connectivity. Features like 360-degree cameras and AI voice control make every journey more enjoyable and stress-free.

A great family car is a smart investment, offering not just an attractive price but also strong long-term reliability and low ownership costs.
