No, your eyes do not deceive you, you have read the heading correctly! Never did we ever think that the Chinese automakers would become as impactful and well-received as they are right now on a global scale, especially in Mzansi. Now, though, an armor-specialized company has decided, why not bulk up your Tiggo from the thieves and all those who mean you harm?
A brief history suggests that Armoured Mobility has become one of the best options for civilian armoured vehicles. Following this great feat, they have launched a bold new online digital video series called 'Hi-jack Hotspot Reality Drive,' which showcases them putting someone in danger in an attempt to show that with their product, you are safer than you think.
The first episode features renowned radio personality Jacob Moshokoa navigating the notorious streets of Hillbrow in the company’s new B4-armoured Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max, proving that with the right protection, no destination is off-limits. The series aims to tackle South Africa's hi-jack hotspots throughout the country, to areas many would never visit in a normal car, in a real-world demonstration of the vehicle's capabilities. Despite this destination's infamous reputation, Moshokoa reported feeling “easiness and peace of mind” behind the wheel, commanding the road with a confidence only B4-grade armour can provide.
“Driving through Hillbrow is not something you take lightly, but I was genuinely astonished by the sense of security inside the armoured Chery,” said Jacob Moshokoa afterwards. “The outside world, with all its potential chaos, felt completely separate. It wasn't just about being in a tough (armoured) car; it was about feeling genuinely safe. This trip proves that with Armoured Mobility, confidence is your co-pilot.”
The series highlights Armoured Mobility’s core mission: making high-level safety accessible to everyone. The launch of the armoured Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max disrupts the market, moving essential protection from a luxury for the elite to a practical solution for South African families. The company's latest mandate, “For the family, not just the few,” is central to this new offering.
“This isn't a gimmick; it's a real-world scenario. South Africans worry about safety every day, and we wanted to show, not just tell, that a solution exists,” said Nabeel Khan, General Manager at Armoured Mobility. “By offering the B4 armoured Chery from R18 999 p/m and, for the first time in the civilian market, providing full bank finance on all our vehicles, we are fundamentally changing the landscape. Safety should not be a luxury.”
The vehicle's state-of-the-art armouring proved impenetrable, turning a high-risk environment into a manageable drive. The unscripted video captures Moshokoa's authentic reactions to the experience and is available to watch now at https://youtu.be/E-G9FvNeGTc
