Australia’s most affordable small SUV, the 2025 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, has just been awarded the full five-star ANCAP safety rating. This was somewhat expected, considering its Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 stablemates also achieve the same rating.
This accolade means the SUV meets the requirements of rideshare apps, so if you’re after the best new car for Uber, best car for Didi or Menulog, this could fit the bill. Literally, because of its low starting price.
So how safe is the 2025 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro? In ANCAP’s four categories, Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable Road User Protection and Safety Assist, it scored 88 per cent, 87 per cent, 79 per cent, and 85 per cent, respectively.
Although solid overall, we found some aspects of the Tiggo 4’s handling and braking distance to be worrisome. Comparatively, its two chief Chinese rivals feel steadier. One advantage with passive safety it has over one immediate rival, the MG ZS, is a centre airbag between the front occupants, for a total of 7. The Haval Jolion also has one as standard.
If you are considering this class of vehicle, we suggest you read ANCAP’s full report here and compare it to the MG ZS report here as well as the Haval Jolion ANCAP report here. We’ve also done a comparison review between the three.
Early on in Chery’s return, the first batch of Omoda 5’s had poorly calibrated ADAS systems, with incomprehensible translations from Chinese to English, but the brand sought to achieve a wholesale improvement after customer and media feedback.
The 2025 Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is available from $23,990 at the time of writing. You can check out our video review below, and stay tuned for our accompanying written review.
