CHERY TIGGO9 Achieves Notable Safety Milestone at International Business Summit 2026
In a significant advancement for automotive safety, CHERY has successfully completed a public three-vehicle composite crash validation for its flagship SUV, the TIGGO9, during the 2026 International Business Summit held in Wuhu, China. This test was a major highlight of the event, demonstrating CHERY's commitment to safety in family transportation.
The crash test, witnessed by global dealers, international media, and representatives from overseas, involved a simulated severe front-and-rear impact scenario. Specifically, the TIGGO9 was subjected to a 50 km/h frontal collision with a TIGGO7 and was simultaneously rear-ended by another vehicle traveling at 40 km/h. Such a comprehensive test aimed to evaluate the integrity of the vehicle's structure, the effectiveness of its restraint systems, and the post-collision emergency response features.
Remarkably, after the crash, the passenger compartment of the TIGGO9 remained intact. There was no significant deformation of the vehicle’s pillars, ensuring that sufficient survival space was preserved for occupants. Furthermore, the airbags, including side curtain airbags, deployed correctly, and the seat belt systems operated effectively. The vehicle's doors unlocked and could be opened without obstruction, while the fuel system showed no signs of leakage, and the hazard warning lights functioned correctly.
This stellar performance can be attributed to the TIGGO9's robust safety design, which integrates an 85% high-strength steel body structure, enhanced hot-stamped steel components, and a sophisticated load-transfer path. It also features a 10-airbag system, all of which contribute to the vehicle’s impressive safety capabilities. Already certified with multiple global five-star safety ratings, the TIGGO9's performance in this test further solidifies CHERY’s reputation in prioritizing family safety.
As global attention to road safety continues to grow, CHERY is committed to further enhancing its safety standards and delivering reliable protection for families worldwide. The company emphasizes its safety philosophy, encapsulated in the phrase "Safety. For Family," which underpins all aspects of its vehicle design and testing processes. With the completion of the three-vehicle composite crash validation, CHERY sets a precedent in the automotive industry, ensuring that safety remains at the forefront of their innovations.
Future initiatives will see CHERY strive to exceed current safety benchmarks, implementing lessons learned from real-world testing scenarios to continuously improve their vehicle designs. This dedication to safety will undoubtedly resonate with families seeking a reliable and secure mode of transportation for their everyday lives.
In conclusion, the public crash validation of the TIGGO9 at the 2026 International Business Summit not only highlights CHERY's advancements in vehicle safety but also reaffirms the brand's commitment to prioritizing the well-being of families across the globe. As the automotive landscape evolves, safety will remain an indispensable component of CHERY’s mission to redefine family mobility.
