On January 21, 2026, the China Insurance Automotive Safety Index (C-IASI) officially released the second batch of results for 2025 evaluated models. The Denza N9 won first place in the C-IASI test score, becoming the first model to achieve 4 G+ ratings, setting a historic highest rating, and also ranking first among all vehicle categories in C-IASI. It achieved the highest historical ratings across all five dimensions, strongly passing all test items, and redefining the ceiling of safety with real strength.
The Denza N9 won first place in the C-IASI test score, achieving the highest historical ratings across all five dimensions.
The Denza N9 earned the highest G+ rating in all four core sub-indices: occupant safety, crashworthiness and repair economy, pedestrian safety, and vehicle assist safety, while receiving a G rating in the new energy vehicle special index, achieving outstanding safety results across all dimensions. In the China Insurance Automotive Safety Index C-IASI test results, the Denza N9 achieved a full-score grand slam! Carrying the banner of the king of safety.
The highest test rating in C-IASI history, authoritative certification of safety strength. In this rigorous evaluation, it truly achieved "protecting both people and vehicles, with no economic worries." The safety strength of the Denza N9 is reflected in every evaluation item.
In the occupant safety index evaluation, the Denza N9 delivered a satisfactory result with a G+ score. Whether in the rigorous driver-side 25% frontal offset crash, 50% frontal offset crash, or side crash, roof strength, and seat/head restraint overall evaluation, the Denza N9 passed with G+ scores.
Among these, in the 50% frontal offset crash, the vehicle's A-pillar showed no deformation whatsoever, with zero structural design defects. The airbags and side curtain airbags effectively wrapped the dummy's head, fully buffering the impact. Leg intrusion was minimal, with ample distance between the knees and the front trim panel, avoiding secondary injury. This conveys Denza's ultimate pursuit of occupant protection, and is further attributed to the Denza N9's industry-leading hardcore safety architecture. It features the world's first hybrid CTB battery-body integration technology, with deep integration of battery and body. The CTB structure and high-strength steel cage body, with high-strength steel and aluminum alloy accounting for 90.5% of the vehicle, build an indestructible "mobile safety fortress" for vehicle occupants.
In terms of crashworthiness and repair economy index, the Denza N9 received a G+ rating. Among these, structural crashworthiness received a G rating. Behind this excellent result is the ultimate design of key low-speed energy-absorbing structures such as the front and rear anti-collision beams, resulting in zero damage to the body structure. In addition, low-speed active safety received an S rating, with an MEB score rate of 89.98%, ranking at the industry-leading level, filling the gap of traditional AEB in low-speed scenarios and providing a safety net for intelligent parking safety.
True safety should be comprehensive safety consideration. The Denza N9 received a G+ rating in the pedestrian safety sub-index, with a total pedestrian safety score of 38.706 points, achieving full marks in both APLI legform and AEB VRU tests. This stems from the Denza N9's aluminum hood adopting a special "space capsule" energy-absorbing design, and the high-performance structure of the bumper with reserved buffering space design, significantly reducing the risk of injury to pedestrians, extending safety from inside the vehicle to outside, adding peace of mind to every journey.
In the field of intelligent safety, the Denza N9 also demonstrates the leading standards of a high-end model. Its vehicle assist safety sub-index passed the evaluation with a G+ rating. The Denza N9 achieved a G+ rating with a score rate of 98.7%, with AEB, FCW, LSS, DMS, E-call and other functions all achieving full marks in multi-scenario tests. The Denza N9 is equipped with the God's Eye B assisted driving laser version, building a comprehensive active safety protection system based on multi-sensor fusion perception and efficient decision algorithms. Its automatic emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning (FCW), lane keeping assist (LKA), and driver monitoring system (DMS) functions all achieved full marks in multi-scenario tests, achieving comprehensive risk avoidance in both longitudinal and lateral directions. The system further integrates ultra-long-range high-perception visual units, supporting accurate identification of pedestrians, vehicles, and obstacles even in complex environments such as nighttime and sudden pedestrian appearances, completing millisecond-level warning and intervention. At the same time, through multiple safety configurations such as electronic stability control (ESC) and automatic high/low beam switching, it provides users with intelligent safety protection covering all speed ranges, all scenarios, and all weather conditions, calmly responding to various driving challenges.
In the new energy vehicle special index, the Denza N9 also received a G rating, passing tests such as bottom scraping, ground scraping, and vehicle wading with full marks. This not only proves its hard strength in battery protection and electric drive safety, but also from the dual dimensions of "extreme crash scenarios" to "daily electric safety," completely eliminating users' concerns about electric vehicle safety.
The Denza N9 achieved an excellent result of a "full-score grand slam" in the C-IASI evaluation, and also ranked first among all vehicle categories in C-IASI, setting the highest historical ratings across all five dimensions, concretizing the concept that "safety is the greatest luxury" into genuine safety protection. It transforms hardcore safety technology into a real sense of peace of mind for users on every journey. This is not only an authoritative certification of product strength, but also a new definition of China's high-end new energy vehicles, interpreting that true luxury is not about stacking configurations, but about whether it truly protects every journey.
