Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV Undergoes Australian Safety Tuning Ahead of Launch – Coming Soon to Tynan Chery Wollongong

The highly anticipated Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV is getting closer to Australian roads, and it’s shaping up to be Chery’s most advanced and Australian-ready SUV yet. At Tynan Chery Wollongong, we’re excited about the brand’s dedication to delivering vehicles that are not only innovative, but also finely tuned for the unique conditions of Australian driving.

In fact, the final stages of validation for the Tiggo 7 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle are happening right now—on real Sydney streets—where Chery Australia is putting its new safety systems to the test in full view of the public.

Real-World Testing, Aussie Roads: Chery’s Commitment to Local Drivers

Unlike many global automotive proving grounds shrouded in secrecy, Chery’s final safety calibration phase is happening in the open, with executives and engineers actively tuning the vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) to suit Australia’s diverse and often inconsistent road conditions.

From narrow suburban lanes and rough city patches to wide open country roads, Chery’s ADAS team is making sure the Tiggo 7 PHEV responds intuitively and naturally—without being intrusive.

“We’ve learned some tough but fair lessons since relaunching in Australia,” said Chery Australia COO Lucas Harris, referencing early criticism of the brand’s safety tech in previous models like the Omoda 5. “Now, our goal is simple: to make our safety systems smarter, smoother, and tailored specifically to how Aussies drive.”

Next-Generation ADAS Features in the Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV

Set to become Chery’s first model in Australia with the next-generation ADAS suite, the Tiggo 7 PHEV will introduce locally calibrated features including:

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Keep and Lane Centring Assistance
• Driver Monitoring System
• Advanced lane recognition algorithms that adapt to real-world driving conditions

Through months of on-road testing across Sydney suburbs, Chery has refined these systems to reduce false alarms, unnecessary corrections, and ‘over-sensitive’ behaviour, particularly on narrow or poorly marked roads.

Built for Australia, Not Just Adapted to It

Unlike many global brands that make only superficial tweaks, Chery’s Australian team is investing heavily in deep ADAS recalibration. Harris explains that the Tiggo 7 PHEV has been through an extensive development loop, often requiring dozens of iterations of software adjustments based on feedback from local test drives.

“Our roads are unpredictable—some lanes have no markings, others have inconsistent kerbs, and the widths vary dramatically,” Harris said. “It’s our job to make the vehicle smart enough to interpret all that.”

This means the Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV won’t just feel like a global vehicle driven in Australia—it will feel like a vehicle built for Australian roads.

What’s Under the Hood?

While much of the focus has been on ADAS, the Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV also promises:

• A powerful and efficient plug-in hybrid drivetrain
• Low emissions without compromising on performance
• The convenience of electric-only driving for short commutes with the flexibility of petrol power for longer journeys

We expect full Australian specifications, range figures, and pricing to be announced soon—but early indications suggest the Tiggo 7 PHEV will offer exceptional value for money, following in the footsteps of Chery’s aggressively priced models.
