Auto manufacturer Chery UAE highlights safety advancements following successful collision trials
The Chery TIGGO 9 has demonstrated exceptional safety performance in Euro NCAP-standard crash tests, earning a prestigious five-star safety rating. In multiple rigorous tests, the vehicle showcased flawless structural integrity, with no deformation of critical areas like the A-pillar or door zones, and the restraint systems (airbags and seatbelts) deployed fully. Both front and rear crash test dummies showed no critical injuries, indicating superior occupant protection.
This impressive safety rating is supported by the TIGGO 9’s advanced engineering features. The vehicle is built with a "cage-style energy-absorbing space capsule" design, and high-strength steel is used in 85% of its body, with 21% being hot-formed steel rated at 1300 MPa tensile strength. The front crash beam is ultra-wide (1500 mm), covering 78% of the vehicle’s width, and is supported by three crash boxes that absorb energy efficiently, adding to its structural resilience during impacts.
The TIGGO 9 excelled in various crash tests, including a full-frontal rigid barrier crash at 50 km/h, mobile progressive deformable barrier (MPDB), and side mobile deformable barrier impacts at 50 and 60 km/h. These results position the TIGGO 9 among vehicles with leading occupant protection and structural safety performance according to Euro NCAP standards.
It is worth noting that while Chery’s TIGGO 7 and TIGGO 8 models scored lower with four stars due to safety shortcomings, the TIGGO 9 stood out and maintained top-tier safety status. This indicates that Chery's newer flagship SUV successfully meets stringent Euro NCAP safety criteria where some earlier models did not.
Chery's safety philosophy prioritises safety as the most luxurious feature in any vehicle. The TIGGO 9 utilises high-strength steel in 85% of its body, including 21% hot-formed steel with a tensile strength of 1300 MPa. Additionally, Chery has introduced a collision-induced subframe detachment system for greater absorption space during accidents.
In summary, the Chery TIGGO 9 offers a high level of safety and protection, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a reliable and secure vehicle.
