Avoid the Landwind CV9 - poor NCAP rating

The Chinese Landwind family car CV9 is extremely dangerous and only gets two stars
in Euro NCAP crash test.

A fresh collision test from the testing organization Euro NCAP shows a disastrous result for the otherwise improved CV9 model, which is a six seater MPV similar to the European Opel Zafira.

No European car maker has shown such a pathetic performance for many years.
The NCAP video clip clearly shows that the CV9 is very dangerous when facing a frontal impact.
The car is almost falling apart during the collision. The front wheel is pushed far into the cabine and the driver will suffer serious injuries.

A modern MPV should be equipped with both ESC (anti-slip system) and curtain airbags - none of this is available in the Landwind CV9.
