The passenger compartment of the Hongqi E-HS9 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Structures in the dashboard were thought to present a risk of injury to the knees and femurs of occupants of different sizes to the test dummies, although dummy readings during the test indicated good or adequate protection. Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the Hongqi E-HS9 would be a moderately benign impact partner in a frontal collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, dummy readings indicated marginal protection of the driver’s chest. Dummy readings also indicated good protection of the head of the driver. However, when the car was examined after the test, small tear was found in the airbag. A penalty was applied to the score of the head in both of the frontal impact tests. Hongqi has investigated the cause of the tear and quality checking has been improved at the car’s assembly plant and at the airbag supplier.  In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, good or adequate protection was provided to all critical parts of the body. Control of excursion (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from the far side) was found to be marginal. The Hongqi E-HS9 has a countermeasure to mitigate against occupant-to-occupant injuries in such impacts. The airbag performed well in Euro NCAP’s tests with dummy readings indicating good protection for both the driver and passenger. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.  The car has an advanced eCall system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash, but there is no system to prevent secondary impacts after the car has been in a collision. Hongqi demonstrated that the doors and windows would be openable to allow occupants to escape in the event of vehicle submergence.
In both the frontal offset test and the side barrier test, protection of all critical parts of the body was good for both the 6 and 10 year dummies, with maximum points scored in this part of the assessment. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. The E-HS9 is not equipped as standard with 'child presence detection', a system which issues a warning when it recognises that a child or infant may have been left in the car. All of the child restraint types for which the Hongqi E-HS9 is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.
Protection of the head of a struck pedestrian or cyclist was largely marginal or adequate on the bonnet surface, with poor results recorded on the stiff windscreen pillars and on the screen itself. Protection of the pelvis was poor at almost all test locations. Protection of the femur was good while the knee and tibia was mixed. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the Hongqi can respond to vulnerable road users as well as to other vehicles. The system’s response to pedestrians was good, but there is no protection of those to the rear of the car. The system’s performance in tests of its reaction to cyclists was also good , including some protection against ‘dooring’, where a door is suddenly opened in the path of a cyclist approaching from behind. Performance of the AEB system was good in tests of its response to motorcyclists, with maximum points being scored.
Overall, the performance of the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system was good in tests of its reaction to other vehicles, with impacts being avoided in most tests. A seatbelt reminder system is fitted as standard to the front and rear seats. The car has a direct driver status monitoring system as standard, detecting driver fatigue and some types of distraction. The lane support system gently corrects the vehicle’s path if it is drifting out of lane and also intervenes in some more critical situations. The speed assistance system identifies the local speed limit. The driver can choose to allow the limiter to be set automatically by the system.
