Chery UAE, in partnership with AWR Group, has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to driver and passenger safety with the exceptional performance of the Chery TIGGO 9 in recent Euro NCAP-standard crash testing.
The results underscore the brand’s philosophy that safety is a fundamental promise not just another feature.
In a full-frontal rigid barrier crash test conducted at Chery’s state-of-the-art safety lab in China, the TIGGO 9 impacted a solid wall at 50 km/h, simulating one of the most severe real-world accident scenarios.
Structural integrity
The outcome: flawless structural integrity, no deformation of the A-pillar or door areas, and full deployment of the restraint system, including airbags and seatbelts. Both front and rear crash test dummies showed no critical injuries, attesting to the vehicle’s superior occupant protection systems.
This safety record is underpinned by cutting-edge engineering. The TIGGO 9 is built with a ‘cage-style energy-absorbing space capsule’s design, utilizing high-strength steel in 85% of its body, including 21% hot-formed steel with a tensile strength of 1300 MPa.
Design principle
“At Chery, safety is a core design principle. These crash test results reaffirm our belief that safety should be the most luxurious feature in any vehicle,” commented Zaher Sabbagh, Director, Chery UAE.
Additionally, Chery has introduced industry-leading innovations such as a collision-induced subframe detachment system, allowing greater absorption space during accidents, and a bamboo-joint-inspired energy structure within the side protection system. The result is a seamless fusion of rigidity, flexibility, and smart energy dispersion throughout the chassis.
