In today's rapidly evolving automotive industry, does safety performance become "obsolete" with technological advancements? Chery answered this question through a decade-spanning crash test demonstration. At its "Safety Night" event, multiple veteran ARRIZO and TIGGO models with over ten years of service underwent rigorous collision tests under exacting standards—with their passenger cell integrity, door operation functionality, and airbag deployment precision all meeting current safety regulations. This technological showcase not only confirms Chery's unwavering commitment to safety fundamentals, but more importantly exposes the brand's deeply ingrained safety ethos that permeates every vehicle they build.

Three Chery Vehicles Over 10 Years Old Maintain Structural Integrity in Crash Tests

        A Decade of Refinement: Crash Tests Prove Safety Never Expires

       At the event, multiple 10-year-old Chery ARRIZO and TIGGO models completed the 40% overlap deformable barrier test at 64 km/h. The vehicles demonstrated only minor deformation in A/B/C pillars while maintaining full passenger compartment integrity, with all four doors remaining fully operational. In the 50 km/h full-width rigid barrier test, the veteran vehicles' airbags deployed flawlessly, leaving crash test dummies completely intact. These completely unmodified production vehicles—exactly as they rolled off assembly lines years ago—demonstrate structural integrity and restraint system performance that rivals today's newest models in crash safety.

     Safety isn't a consumable product, but a life-saving promise that stands the test of time. Through meticulous material selection and manufacturing precision, Chery incorporated shotgun structures with extensive high-strength steel applications even in its earliest models. This time-tested safety philosophy was underscored by Yin Tongyue, Chairman of Chery Holding Group, at the Safety Night: "Automobile manufacturing demands both technical expertise and moral integrity. The true determinants of a vehicle's safety often lie in the unseen details." With its commitment to 'Uncompromising Safety. Now for Everyone,' Chery ensures every generation of its vehicles withstand dual trials of time and real-world accidents.

     Beyond a Decade: Safety Engineered into the Brand's DNA

     From the debut of its first independently developed sedan in 1999 to earning the trust of over 10 million global owners today, Chery has consistently treated safety as the fundamental pillar of its vehicle development process.

     When combustion engines ruled the roads, the ARRIZO series redefined family car safety with its forged-steel construction, setting torsional rigidity standards that still lead the industry. As electrification took hold, Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) technology brand has developed the Guardian Battery Safety System—an integrated protection network that delivers flawless performance in extreme nail penetration, crushing, and immersion tests through its 2-millisecond emergency power cutoff, around-the-clock intelligent monitoring, and military-grade IP68 waterproof/dustproof defenses. Embracing the intelligent mobility era, Chery's autonomous driving technology expands proactive safety beyond traditional driving scenarios to encompass the entire ownership experience—from parking and autonomous operation to charging processes. The system has achieved dual certification under both the EU's Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) and Software Update Management System (SUMS) regulations, while accumulating over 4.5 billion kilometers of real-world autonomous driving data globally. Looking toward a sustainable future, Chery integrates eco-friendly materials with uncompromising safety standards to establish a comprehensive, full-lifecycle safety ecosystem.

    "True safety isn't measured by specification sheets—it's the very creed encoded in Chery's automotive DNA," declares the company. This philosophy drives Chery to consistently stay one step ahead of industry standards and anticipate safety concerns beyond customer expectations. This culture of over-engineering and exhaustive validation has earned Chery the title of China's top-ranked automaker in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study for multiple consecutive years.

    When decade-old vehicles ace rigorous crash tests, Chery demonstrates that authentic safety withstands time's passage and market evolutions showcasing the brand's engineering heritage and global responsibility. Through twenty years of unwavering commitment, Chery has infused safety into every weld seam and steel panel. This profound respect for human life fuels Chery's unstoppable rise on the world stage.
