  • Crash-Test Performance: ANCAP’s detailed crash tests highlighted the T9’s exceptional structural integrity, particularly in frontal, side, and rear-impact scenarios, providing top-tier protection for both drivers and passengers.
  • Innovative Driver Assistance: Additional features, including Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and a 360-degree camera system, enhance visibility and overall driver confidence.

Whether it’s for work, family trips, or off-road adventures, the T9’s innovative design ensures peace of mind for the whole family.
