Safety Has No Universal Standard Chery Delivers on Its "Family Protection" Promise Through Global Extreme Testing

SAFETY

As the auto industry accelerates toward an electric and intelligent future, safety remains the absolute foundation. The true measure of an automaker lies in its ability to deliver consistent, predictable protection—across diverse road conditions, changing climates, and evolving new energy vehicle architectures.

In 2025, Chery launched a year-round global safety validation program, using systematic extreme-condition testing to send a clear message: safety is not an optional extra—it's a promise the brand is committed to fulfilling through technology. From the lab to the road, from compliance tests to challenges around the world, Chery’s transparent validation process is setting a new safety benchmark for families everywhere.


Six-Dimension Challenge: Proving Safety in Global Extreme Environments

In 2025, Chery became the first Chinese automaker to launch a global "six-dimension" safety challenge—testing vehicles under heat, cold, dryness, humidity, high speed, and rough roads conditions. Through a series of rigorous tests, Chery demonstrated its technological strength while responding to real-world user needs: In Indonesia's extreme wet challenge, TIGGO8 CSH's battery pack remained fully functional after exposure to high humidity, salt spray, and prolonged seawater immersion, proving its sealing and protection capabilities. In Mexico’s underbody scrape test, TIGGO7 CSH underwent repeated bottoming impacts, validating the battery pack’s impact resistance and structural shielding design. In a dual-vehicle offset crash test in South Africa, TIGGO9 CSH demonstrated excellent body rigidity and energy absorption, effectively preserving occupant survival space. In the Middle East’s sea–land–air extreme challenge, vehicles were subjected to high temperatures, heavy loads, and cross-regional driving cycles, systematically testing the battery's heat resistance, thermal management, and power output—simulating long-term usage in harsh environments.

These challenges are far from one-off technical demonstrations. They represent the practical implementation of Chery’s “In Somewhere, For Somewhere, Be Somewhere” localization strategy. By carrying out targeted validation in different countries, Chery addresses the unique safety needs of diverse markets in real-world settings—reflecting a deep understanding of and commitment to local road conditions, climate, and driving habits.


Safety Bedrock: From System Architecture to Global Validation

Behind these global challenges lies Chery's "Safety, for Family" philosophy, supported by a comprehensive technical framework. Safety has always been the heart of Chery's extensive technology portfolio. The TIGGO lineup, for instance, is built around a lifecycle safety architecture that spans seven critical domains, including passive and active safety, battery integrity, and functional safety.

On the passive safety front, the TIGGO series features a cage-style body structure and a high proportion of high-strength steel, creating a robust survival cell for occupants. Its multi-path load management design effectively disperses collision energy. In terms of active safety, the L2+ advanced driver-assistance system integrates multiple ADAS functions, enabling early risk detection and intervention. For battery and powertrain safety, the battery system incorporates IP68 protection, high-strength steel underbody panels, and millisecond-level power cutoff technology. Together, these form multiple layers of safety barriers—from physical protection to real-time monitoring—transforming the abstract concept of "family protection" into a tangible and verifiable safety experience in everyday driving.


From Lab to Global Roads: Trust Built by Long-Term Investment

Chery's safety capabilities stem from long-term, systematic investment rather than short-term initiatives. Since establishing its safety testing center in 2000, Chery has consistently advanced its safety R&D in alignment with stringent global standards. The crash test laboratory built in 2010 has since grown into one of Asia's leading safety testing facilities, supporting the development of multiple platforms and vehicle models.

Here, Chery conducts approximately 1,500 full-vehicle crash tests annually and ensures compliance with more than 80 different regulations and standards. The company routinely simulates extreme real-world scenarios from across the globe, forming a robust, three-pillar validation framework that encompasses regulatory, scenario-based, and extreme-condition testing. The proven success of this long-term strategy is reflected in the 54 Chery models that have achieved five-star safety ratings worldwide.


Back to Safety’s Essence: A Trustworthy “Mobile Home” for Families

From standardized lab tests to the 2025 global six-dimension challenge, Chery has consistently demonstrated the safety capabilities of Chinese automotive manufacturing. While the industry often focuses on specifications and features, Chery returns to the fundamentals. It is through robust materials, rigorous structural design, and real-world validation that Chery builds the reliable safety foundation for a "mobile home" that families can trust for the long term.


With every extreme challenge conducted around the world, Chery's "long march" for safety is evolving into both a brand creed and an ecosystem pledge. Amid profound industry transformation, Chery will continue to treat safety as its anchor, sending a clear message to users everywhere. No matter where you are, family travel must be built upon protection that is both dependable and demonstrable. This is the core value Chery is committed to investing in and elevating.
