If you're in the market for a new seven-seater family vehicle and are considering the Chery Tiggo Pro 8, you might be wondering whether it has ISOfix.
Read our Chery Tiggo 8 Pro 290T Distinction Review (2022) here!
What is ISOfix?
ISOfix is a safety standard for child car seats that allows them to be securely attached to a vehicle's chassis without using seat belts. This ensures that the car seat stays in place in the event of a collision, reducing the risk of injury to the child.
ISOfix not only provides a safer option for securing your child's car seat, but it is also easier to use. With ISOfix, you can simply click the car seat into the vehicle's anchor points, which are located in the rear seats of the car. This eliminates the need to thread the seat belt through the car seat and tighten it manually, which can be a bit of a nightmare. (Find out if the Tiggo 8 Pro is good for long drives.)
Verdict
The answer to whether the Chery Tiggo Pro 8 has ISOfix is a resounding yes. Did you know that all new vehicles sold in South Africa have been required to have ISOfix since 2014? As a result, you can rest assured that your children's car seat can be securely attached to the Tiggo Pro 8's two outer rear seats in the second row, providing an extra layer of safety.
In addition to ISOfix, the Chery Tiggo Pro 8 is also equipped with a variety of other safety features. These include ABS, brake assist, traction control, hill-descent control, a tyre pressure sensor, 6 airbags , cruise control (adaptive cruise control in the mid-spec 290T Executive and the top-spec 2.0T GDI 390T model), electronic stability program (ESP), rain-sensing windscreen wipers, and a reinforced body structure, to name a few. The spare wheel is a Marie biscuit, unfortunately, so if something happens to one of your tyres, you'll have to make your way to the nearest town slowly, or wait for roadside assistance.

One reported issue with the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro, is that its brakes have a heavy, 'wooden' feel to them, so if you go and test drive a Tiggo 8 Pro, be sure to properly test the brakes so that when the time comes to brake for a pedestrian or any other traffic, that you know the Tiggo 8 Pro is up to the task.
As for reliability, it is difficult to tell with such a new car, but as time goes by, we'll have a better idea. At least roadside assistance, which taken care of by the AA for the duration of the warranty period, is part of the deal.
