The Chinese crossover Chery Tiggo 2 received zero stars following Latin NCAP testing. The results were published on October 28, 2026. This is the first evaluation under the organization’s updated protocol, which conducts independent car crash tests for the markets of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The tested Chinese-made vehicle is sold in different countries under the names Tiggo 2, Tiggo 2 Pro, and Tiggo 2 Pro Max, and in Mexico as Chirey Tiggo 2. Despite having four airbags and an ESC stability control system as standard equipment, the model scored 0% for adult occupant protection and 0% for child occupant protection. It was awarded 48.89% for pedestrian and vulnerable road user safety, and 45.45% for driver assistance systems.

In a frontal impact, testers recorded instability in the body shell structure and the driver’s footwell area. Loads on the dummy’s chest turned out to be high, indicating inadequate protection in such an accident scenario. Additional concern was caused by a fire risk identified during the test.

The vehicle also lacks standard side head protection airbags. Therefore, the pole impact test was not carried out, and the overall score was subjected to an additional penalty. There are no pretensioners and load limiters for the rear seatbelts. During the evaluation, adequate protection could not be confirmed for a small adult passenger in the second row.

The crossover received an especially low rating for child safety. The new Latin NCAP protocol uses dummies representing three- and ten-year-old passengers. In a frontal impact, high loads on the head and neck were registered on the ten-year-old dummy. During a side impact, the head of the three-year-old dummy was insufficiently protected, creating a risk of ejection from the restraint system. The i-Size child seat anchorages also failed to pass the organization’s requirements.

Active safety systems failed to improve the final score. Latin NCAP noted the absence of autonomous emergency braking, lane assist, blind spot monitoring, and a speed limiter system. These features are not offered even as options on the tested version.
