- Triple-layer battery protection and IP68 waterproofing ensure resilience against water, debris, and impact.
- Intelligent energy management adapts driving modes and regenerative braking to optimise power and efficiency.
- Ultra-stable battery chemistry and rapid crash response prioritise safety in emergencies and extreme temperatures.
As new energy vehicles become mainstream, drivers are placing growing importance not just on range, but on the safety of what lies beneath—the electric powertrain system that powers the journey. After all, no smart feature can ease the anxiety caused by underlying safety concerns. The Chery Tiggo 7 CSH tackles this head-on with an “invisible shield” of protection, turning safety into the most reassuring part of the drive.
Rain-ready invisible armour
During heavy rainfall seasons, flooded roads and potholes put a vehicle’s reliability to the test. The Tiggo 7 CSH’s battery compartment is equipped with triple-layer protection. High-strength steel casing wraps around the battery pack like a suit of armour, shielding it from flying debris and minor scrapes. With an IP68-rated waterproof and dustproof design, it handles deep water crossings with ease.
But the real genius lies in its intelligent safety management system. Even when parked and locked, it maintains 24/7 vigilance, scanning battery status every five minutes. It even monitors charging stations for irregularities, ensuring optimal safety and efficiency while preventing risks such as short-circuiting or overheating.
The long-drive “energy manager”
What if the battery runs low after an eight-hour road trip? The Tiggo 7 CSH’s high-performance hybrid system is always prepared. Acting like an experienced navigator, it adjusts driving modes based on real-time vehicle status, ensuring consistent power delivery while maintaining battery stability.
The vehicle offers three selectable energy modes:
- Initial Mode, which prioritises battery discharge for maximum performance
- Smart Power Reserve Mode, which automatically balances power output and energy efficiency
- Forced Power Reserve Mode, which locks in a target battery level for scenarios like camping or off-road driving.
Combined with adjustable regenerative braking, the system ensures every kilowatt is used to its fullest potential.
“The Tiggo 7 CSH is built with safety systems that work quietly in the background—protecting the battery, monitoring conditions, and responding in real time,” commented Verene Petersen, National Brand and Marketing Manager for Chery South Africa. “It gives drivers the confidence to enjoy the road, knowing the tech beneath them is always looking out for their safety.”
Lightning-fast reflexes for emergencies
What happens when a collision occurs? The Tiggo 7 CSH’s lithium iron phosphate battery boasts an ultra-stable chemical structure that remains unfazed—even under extreme conditions like nail penetration or crushing—eliminating risks of fire or explosion.
The crash safety system reacts with lightning speed, detecting impact signals and cutting power within 0.02 seconds (fifty times faster than a human blink), instantly neutralising hazards at their source.
All-weather resilience
Will the battery overheat under scorching summer sun? The Tiggo 7 CSH features an intelligent all-climate thermal management system, functioning like a precision climate control unit for the battery. Even when parked outdoors on surfaces heated to 60°C, the battery maintains an optimal temperature. In -30°C winters, the system activates thermal protection, ensuring reliable starts and consistent performance.
This sophisticated system ensures optimal battery output through extreme temperature swings, delivering true all-weather reliability. From city streets to open highways, from collision risks to harsh climates, Tiggo 7 CSH embeds safety into every detail. It doesn’t chase flashy specs—instead, it turns unseen dangers into tangible peace of mind.
