Safety Rating Of The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro In South Africa

The South Market is always on the lookout for ways to stay safe on the road. That’s why it’s super important to check a car’s safety rating before making a purchase.

In 2015, the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro and all trim levels received a 4-star safety rating from the C-NCAP (Chinese New Car Assessment Program). 

The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro’s 4-star safety rating means that drivers can expect a good level of safety performance, making it a reliable and safe option for families and individuals alike.

What Is A C-NCAP Rating?

C-NCAP tests a vehicle’s safety and evaluates it on a scale from 0% to 100%. The percentages are converted into stars, with 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. The higher the percentage, the better the vehicle’s safety performance.

What assessments are conducted within the C-NCAP criteria?

At its core, C-NCAP provides consumers with important information about the safety features and crashworthiness of new vehicles through a series of assessments.

The assessments include:

• Crashworthiness
• Safety assist features
• Child occupant protection
• Vulnerable road user protection
• Overall safety features

Does the C-NCAP assessment align with South African standards?

The C-NCAP assessment does align well with international safety standards, including those in South Africa, although there may be some variations in testing methodologies and criteria.

What Is The ANCAP Safety Rating Of The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro?

As of now, the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro doesn’t have an ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) safety rating. The other models in the Chery Tiggo Pro lineup, like the Tiggo 8 Pro and Tiggo 7 Pro, have scored a solid 5 stars on the ANCAP scale. 

But, with its 4-star C-NCAP safety rating, the Tiggo 4 Pro is likely to do well if it ever goes through ANCAP testing.

• Anti-lock braking system (ABS) that prevents wheels from locking up during sudden braking improving steering control and reducing stopping distances.

Safety Techniques You Can Use While Driving

The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro comes equipped with top-of-the-line safety features to ensure a safe and smooth driving experience. This does not mean that drivers should rely solely on these features. 

Here are some safety techniques that drivers can use while driving the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro to further enhance their safety:

1. Maintain Proper Tire Inflation

While the tire pressure sensors in the Chery Tiggo 4 Pro display accurate information about tire pressure, it is still important for drivers to regularly check and maintain proper tire inflation. Go to your nearest petrol station or service centre to check your tyre pressure.

2. Keep a Safe Distance

Even with advanced safety features like ABS and EBD, you still need to maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This will give you enough time to brake safely and avoid any potential accidents.

3. Avoid Distractions

It is important for drivers to stay focused on the road at all times. Avoid distractions such as using your phone, changing music, eating, or talking to passengers while driving. These distractions can lead to loss of focus and increase the risk of accidents.

The Chery Tiggo 4 Pro comes with a 10.25-inch Multimedia Touch Display, which allows you to control your music and phone calls hands-free, making it easier to stay focused on the road.

4. Use Turn Signals

Turn signals are a small yet important feature that can greatly enhance safety while driving. Make sure to use your turn signals when changing lanes or making a turn, as this will alert other drivers of your intentions. 

5. Check Your Mirrors

Make it a habit to regularly check your side mirrors and rear-view mirror every few seconds while driving. This will give you a better understanding of your surroundings.

6. Drive Sober

Drunk driving is the number 2 cause of road accidents in South Africa. It impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time, making it dangerous for both the driver and others on the road. Never drink and drive – it’s not worth the risk.

7. Practice Defensive Driving

Defensive driving refers to being constantly aware of potential hazards on the road and taking proactive measures to avoid them. This includes scanning the road ahead for potential dangers, maintaining a safe following distance, and being prepared for unexpected situations. To improve your skills, practice defensive driving or enrol in a defensive driving course.
