KEY TAKEAWAYS
What safety features contribute to the TIGGO 9's five-star safety credentials?
The TIGGO 9's safety features include 85% high-strength steel in its body, advanced safety systems for new energy vehicles (NEVs), and a design that efficiently absorbs and distributes crash energy.What materials are used in the TIGGO 9's body to enhance safety?
The TIGGO 9's body is made with 85% high-strength steel, including 21% hot-formed steel with 1300 MPa tensile strength, contributing to its durability and safety.- TIGGO 9 performed flawlessly in Euro NCAP-standard crash tests.
- Features include 85% steel that is high-strength and energy dispersion inspired by bamboo.
- There is advanced safety for NEVs, which includes instant power cutoff.
- The Dubai demo proves the chassis is durable with real-world challenges.
Chery UAE, alongside its partner AWR Group, has announced impressive outcomes to crash tests for the TIGGO 9, confirming the promise of the brand that safety is a core value.
These results place the flagship SUV among the safest in its class and show the result of the engineering-first approach from Chery.
Frontal Crash Test Results Impress
The TIGGO 9 underwent a 50 km/h full-frontal crash test against a rigid barrier at Chery’s advanced safety lab in China, replicating one of the most dangerous types of real-world collisions.

The vehicle showed no structural failure, with its A-pillars and door zones intact. The restraint systems functioned flawlessly, and the crash test dummies suffered no critical injuries, which underscored the superior cabin protection of the SUV.
Multi-Angle Crash Performance
Previous testing had already placed the TIGGO 9 in elite safety territory. In the Euro NCAP mobile progressive deformable barrier (MPDB) and side impact tests, conducted at 50 and 60 km/h respectively, the SUV showed outstanding structural response and levels of passenger safety. These combined results contribute to its five-star safety credentials.
Built to Withstand Impact
- 85% of the body of the vehicle is made with high-strength steel.
- 21% hot-formed steel with 1300 MPa tensile strength.
- Ultra-wide 1500 mm front crash beam that covers 78% of the width.
- Three high-efficiency crash boxes for better dispersion of energy.
- Bamboo-joint-style energy structure for side impact zones.
- Subframe detachment system for added depth of crush zone.
Collectively, these features allow the TIGGO 9 to absorb and distribute crash energy more efficiently while keeping occupants safe.

Advanced Safety Meets Smart Engineering
Zaher Sabbagh, Director of Chery UAE, said: “Safety is a core principle of design at Chery. We invest in next-generation safety technologies and engineering excellence to meet global standards, and even exceed them.”
This philosophy also shows in the vehicle’s NEV-specific features. In case of a crash, the battery management system in the TIGGO 9 immediately cuts off power to reduce risks such as fire or smoke.
Dubai Durability Challenge Goes Viral
Chery UAE, to showcase the real-world durability of the car, hosted a live test in Dubai, where it invited influencers and media members to break through the chassis of the SUV, using heavy drills. Their failure to penetrate the structure further proved that the car is robust, with quality engineering behind it.
The region is leaning more towards intelligent, safe, and stylish mobility, which is why Chery UAE is positioning the TIGGO 9 as a premium option and also as a protector of lives. The brand’s claim that “safety is the real luxury” is now more convincing than ever, with these test results.
