Chinese automaker CHERY has announced a public crash test for its flagship SUV, the TIGGO 9, scheduled for April 2026 in Wuhu, Anhui Province. The event will be part of the Beijing Auto Show and the CHERY International Business Summit. The test will simulate a severe chain-reaction collision involving three vehicles: the TIGGO 9 will be positioned in the center, struck from the front at 50 km/h and then from the rear at 40 km/h.

Experts will evaluate the vehicle's structural integrity, including the deformation of the A, B, C, and D pillars, the effectiveness of the restraint systems (airbags and seatbelt pretensioners), and post-crash safety features such as automatic door unlocking, hazard light activation, and fuel system sealing. The test aims to replicate real-world driving risks, such as sudden braking in busy intersections or multi-vehicle pileups on highways.

CHERY positions the TIGGO 9 as a global family SUV, and the company claims this public test demonstrates its commitment to transparency and safety under its 'For Family' philosophy. By allowing experts and journalists to observe the process firsthand, CHERY seeks to build consumer trust beyond mere specification sheets.

The TIGGO 9 is also expected to launch in Uzbekistan soon, distributed by the ADM group. Detailed specifications and pricing are available on cheryauto.uz. The brand emphasizes that safety is not just a slogan but a fundamental obligation to families worldwide.
