Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV, iCaur V23 secure 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating under outgoing 2021-2025 protocol

The Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV and iCaur V23, two SUVs under the Chery Group umbrella that were launched in Malaysia in October and November respectively, have both secured a full five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. Both were crash-tested at the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute (CAERI) in Chongqing last month.

The Tiggo 7 PHEV achieved the full 40 points for adults, 17.18 out of 20 for children, the full 20 points for safety assist and 17.5 out of 20 for motorcyclists, resulting in a 94.68-point total score, while the iCaur V23 managed 39.71 out of 40 points for adults, 16.67 out of 20 for children, 17.14 out of 20 for safety assist and 17.5 out of 20 for motorcyclists, yielding a 91.02-point total score.

Standard on both SUVs are seatbelt reminders for all seats, rear seat occupant detection, both city and inter-urban AEB, blind spot detection, auto high beam, ISOFIX and child presence detection, in addition to a host of lane-related functions. The Tiggo 7 PHEV has eight airbags including a knee and centre airbag, while the V23 has six.

Are these the last vehicles to be tested under the outgoing 2021-2025 protocol? Assessment under the 2026–2030 protocol starts January – an expanded emphasis on ADAS is expected.

    The Chinese had won the game for good value for money product against badge and brand so much so that buyers are waiting to get their new ev at the laem chabang deep seaport in chonburi as soon as they arrive from china watch the news and see how many jaecoo had sold and delivered clearly shows that a new player can be a winner overnight with a right product regardless of brand and heritage because the new generations of buyers compare products rather than brand
