KUALA LUMPUR: Chery recently emerged as one of the biggest winners at the 6th Asean NCAP Grand Prix Awards 2026, securing the highest number of awards at the prestigious regional vehicle safety recognition programme.
Organised by the Asean New Car Assessment Program (Asean NCAP) in collaboration with the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), the biennial awards recognise vehicle models assessed during the 2024–2025 evaluation cycle as well as industry players that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to vehicle safety in Southeast Asia.
Leading the list of achievements was Chery’s Tiggo 7, which received four major accolades, namely the Best Safety Performance Award (Safety Assist), Best Safety Performance Award (Adult Occupant Protection), Best Safety Performance Award (Motorcyclist Safety), and the Excellence Award for Best SUV (sport utility vehicle).
Chery was also honoured with the Excellence Award for the Most 5-Star Ratings (2021–2025), recognising its consistent delivery of vehicles that achieve the highest safety benchmarks under Asean NCAP assessments.
The recognition follows the outstanding performance of the Tiggo 7 PHEV (plug-in hybrid), which achieved an impressive 94.68 points in the Asean NCAP assessment conducted in December 2025, earning a coveted 5-Star Asean NCAP rating.
The score places the model among the top performing vehicles evaluated under the stringent Asean NCAP 2021–2025 protocol.
The Tiggo 7 PHEV achieved a full 40.00 points in the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) category, alongside 17.18 points for Child Occupant Protection (COP), 20.00 points for Safety Assist (SA), and 17.50 points for Motorcyclist Safety (MS).
"The recognition from Asean NCAP is particularly meaningful for us as it motivates Chery to continue raising the bar in vehicle development. We remain committed to delivering products equipped with the latest technologies and the highest safety standards to provide our customers with greater confidence and peace of mind," said Chery Corporate Malaysia executive vice president Men Lin Bo.
The 6th Asean NCAP Grand Prix Awards 2026 was held alongside the 9th Vehicle Safety Course in Sepang, Selangor bringing together vehicle safety experts, industry stakeholders, policymakers, and manufacturers to advance road safety standards across the Asean region.
