Superheroes have this innate ability to sense and stop danger even before they strike. Time and time again, they rely on these “senses” to help keep comic book citizens aways from harm. And while superheroes may have made the leap from paper to the big (or small) screen, when it comes to real-world safety, we’ve got to rely on something else.
With the advent of powerful, more sophisticated sensors and cameras, state-of-the-art smart features can actually help prevent accidents before they happen. Some can even help direct you away from situations that can lead into an accident.
The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro is one such example. Fitted with a myriad of sensors, the 1.6T variant comes loaded with no less than 12 Advanced Driver Assist Systems or ADAS, and these act as your superhuman senses on the road.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Assist – RCTA alerts you when another vehicle is approaching you just as you reverse out of a parking space.
- Blind Spot Detection – BSD notifies you if a vehicle is approaching your blind spots on either side of your car.
- Autonomous Emergency Braking – AEB automatically activates the brakes once it detects an obstacle and doesn't receive any braking inputs from the driver.
- Door Opening Warning – When DOW detects an oncoming car from behind as you or your passengers are about to go down from the car, the DOW automatically issues an alert.
- Forward Collision Warning – FCW detects objects ahead and alerts the driver for potential collisions.
- Adaptive Cruise Control – ACC automatically adjusts your vehicle's speed depending on the speed and distance of the vehicle in front.
- Lane Keeping Assist – LKA helps the driver remain inside the marked lanes, which comes in handy during drives with low visibility or when temporarily blinded by other cars’ high beams
- Traffic Jam Assist – TJA serves as an extension of cruise control, but works in slow-moving traffic for enhanced comfort in gridlock situations. It will autonomously accelerate and brake the vehicle in traffic.
- Integrated Cruise Assist - ICA constantly measures the distance to the vehicle in front of you in real time and automatically maintains a safe distance.
- Intelligent High-Beam Control – IHBC automatically adjusts the headlights to maximize vision even in poorly lit roads.
- Lane Departure Warning – LDW alerts you via audible alert and force feedback when your vehicle inadvertently drifts to another lane—very helpful when the driver’s alertness is impaired due to fatigue or other factors
- Traffic Sign Recognition - TSR alerts you when your speed exceeds that of posted speed limits
Of course, over and above these 12 Advanced Driver Assist Systems, the Tiggo 8 Pro 1.6T offers the complete suite of passive and active safety features such as 6 SRS airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), Hill Assist Control (HAC), Hill Descent Control (HDC), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and ISOFIX child-seat tethers, and many more.
With all these smart safety features and Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS), the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro is convincingly one of the safest automobiles on the market. In fact, it is rated with 84.81 out of 100 score or a perfect 5-star at the Chinese New Car Assessment Program or C-NCAP. The C-NCAP testing protocol is actually stricter than the ASEAN NCAP.
The Tiggo 8 Pro 1.6T is made even more irresistible with the brand’s industry-leading Chery Premium Preserv consisting of a 7-year engine warranty, 7-year bumper-to-bumper general vehicle warranty, free 3-year preventive maintenance service (PMS), and free 3-year roadside assistance.
The all-new Chery Tiggo 8 Pro 1.6T has a retail price of P 1,698,000.
