What to Look for in a Family SUV in South Africa



Upgrading the family car is often a consideration for new and expecting parents, and, understandably, you’re looking for safety, space, style, and sanity. After all, family life moves fast, and you need a vehicle that can keep up. That’s where Chery’s SUV range comes in, offering clever solutions for families who want it all: peace of mind, room to breathe, and a price that won’t make your wallet lighter.
Safety Innovation: The Cornerstone of Family Travel
Look, we all know our roads aren’t exactly smooth…Potholes, taxis swerving, the unexpected around every corner… driving with the family can get tricky. That’s why our Cherys pack lots of safety advancements, including 360° cameras, lane departure warning, emergency braking, electronic stability control, multiple airbags, and ISOFIX seats. Basically, it’s like having a co-pilot who never blinks, keeping an eye on everything so you can focus on the road ahead and your loved ones.
Space & Comfort: Everyone Gets a Seat (and Then Some)
It’s funny how a baby can suddenly make your car feel a lot smaller. Family life means kids, groceries, sports gear and more. The TIGGO 9 PHEV has all the space you could ask for, 7 flexible seats, a roomy interior, and enough boot for everything from weekend getaways to midweek supermarket hauls. And the best part? It’s actually comfortable, so nobody’s complaining on those long drives.
Value for Money: Premium Doesn’t Have to Mean Pricey
Let’s be honest, families need a car that’s affordable, reliable, and won’t sneakily bleed your wallet dry. Our Chery range offers competitive pricing without skimping on features. The TIGGO 4 Pro starts at R269,900, providing a budget-friendly option for families without sacrificing essential features. The TIGGO 7 Pro range, starting at R389,900, offers a more premium experience with additional features and space, catering to families seeking more luxury.
The Chery Super Hybrid Range: Smarter, Greener, Easier
If you’ve ever groaned at rising fuel prices or dreaded the “when’s the next charging stop?” question on a road trip, the Chery Super Hybrid range is about to make your life a lot easier. With a combined range of up to 1,200km in the PHEV, you can go the distance without constantly stopping to recharge. It’s not just about long drives, it’s about saving fuel, lowering emissions, and keeping more money in your pocket. Perfect for families who want to explore, commute, or just get through the week without stressing about every kilometre.
In short, finding the best SUV for families in South Africa comes down to safety, space, and value. Chery delivers all three with style, comfort, and a price you’ll actually love.
