Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV and iCaur V23 earn high ASEAN NCAP scores

Both vehicles underwent crash tests at the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute (CAERI) in Chongqing last month.

The assessment followed the 2021–2025 protocol developed by ASEAN NCAP, which evaluates passive and active safety for occupants, pedestrians, and infrastructure.

As a result, the Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV achieved an overall score of 94.68. The iCaur V23 also posted a strong outcome, totaling 91.02 points. Taken together, these figures point to a consistently high safety baseline.

The high marks were made possible by the presence of advanced safety technologies fitted to these models:

• A driver warning system for potential hazards;
• A rear-seat child presence detection sensor;
• Surround-view cameras to monitor the area around the vehicle;
• Lane-keeping assist.

This set of systems isn’t only about test protocols; it also helps in day-to-day use, from watching for obstacles to keeping the car neatly within its lane.

The next round of evaluations will take place after the current five-year protocol concludes—starting in January 2026, when ASEAN NCAP’s new certification standard comes into effect.
