The Chery Tiggo 2, also marketed as Tiggo 2 Pro, Tiggo 2 Pro Max, and Chirey Tiggo 2, received a zero-star rating in Latin NCAP crash tests. Despite being equipped with four airbags and electronic stability control as standard, the vehicle failed to score any points for adult and child occupant protection. Testing revealed structural instability, severe deformation of the footwell, and a risk of fire following a collision.
The vehicle lacks side curtain airbags, preventing a side pole impact test, and rear seats are missing seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters. Tests involving child dummies showed dangerous loads on the head and neck areas. Pedestrian protection was rated at 48.89%, while driver assistance systems scored 45.45%. Latin NCAP officials have raised concerns regarding the safety standards of Chery's entry-level models.
These results follow quality control issues in other markets. In early October, Malaysian authorities halted sales of the Omoda 5 after reports of rear axle failures, leading to a recall of 8,878 vehicles. Chery President Yin Tongyue issued a public apology on October 21, emphasizing the need for the company to prioritize long-term international market stability over short-term gains.
