Chery Tiggo 9 passed the EuroNCAP crash test: the result is known

Chery independently conducted a crash test using the European system, crashing its flagship crossover into a barrier at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Chery said that side collisions are a common type of accident, and it is believed that it is from the side that cars are least protected due to the small buffer space. However, Tiggo 9 coped with this test.

The Tiggo 9, equipped with ten airbags and an automatic emergency call system, took part in the EuroNCAP crash test. During the collision, all airbags worked normally in the first few milliseconds, creating a barrier between the driver, passenger and doors. “In the event of a side impact, the central airbag, introduced for the first time in this model, is activated, protecting against injuries that may occur in a collision between the front passenger and the driver,” Chery said.

The front, center and rear pillars withstood the load and “provided enough space for the driver and passengers to survive,” Chery said. The doors on the opposite side of the car remained operational, and the fuel tank was not damaged at all.
