Chery Malaysia has released teasers for its next model, the Chery Tiggo 9. The T9 is the flagship of Chery’s Tiggo range of SUVs, and it will sit on top of the Tiggo Cross, Tiggo 7 Pro, Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 Pro in the company’s local line-up. “The Tiggo 9 does not try to impress. It simply meets you at your level, as a flagship SUV defined by presence, precision, and intelligent control. With all-wheel drive capability, a meticulously refined cabin, and the kind of confident road presence that leaders will recognise immediately, the Tiggo 9 is for those who have earned the right to expect more from everything — including the drive,” the social media caption reads. Registrations of interest are now open, and the RoI page lists down the SUV’s equipment highlights. While Chery Malaysia previously said that the Tiggo 9 will be offered with a CSH plug-in hybrid powertrain, the RoI page mentions 2.0T AWD, so perhaps the PHEV will come at a later date. Chery is already selling CSH variants of the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8, so it’s just a matter of time before there’s a flagship PHEV in town. The 2.0T in question is the Tiggo 8 Pro’s 256 PS/390 Nm 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder engine, paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. While the T8P is front-wheel-drive, the T9 gets AWD with seven modes. These should be Eco, Normal, Sport, Sand, Mud, Snow and Off-Road. The T9 rides on 20-inch alloys, an inch up from the T8P’s wheels. Comfort and convenience features highlighted include a 15.6-inch 2.5K central screen powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8155 chip, head-up display, a 10-way powered driver’s seat, front ventilated seats with massage function, second-row ventilated seats and a Sony audio system with 14 speakers, including front headrest speakers. Kit wise, this is a big step up from the T8P. On the safety side, this big SUV will come with 10 airbags and a full ADAS suite with 23 features. Chery Tiggo 9 CSH in Thailand The Tiggo 9 is 4,810 mm long and 1,925 mm wide, which makes it 88 mm longer and 65 mm wider than the Tiggo 8 Pro. Its 2.8m wheelbase is 90 mm longer than the T8P’s. It’s big all right, but a touch smaller in footprint – 10 mm shorter, 5 mm narrower, wheelbase 20 mm shorter – than the massive Jaecoo J8. Speaking of that giant, the Tiggo 9’s design is less in your face, more handsome – Audi-like, if you like. That’s the size ballpark. As for price, the Tiggo 8 Pro retails for RM159,800. The Jaecoo J8 is priced from RM178,800 for the five-seater 2WD, to RM198,800 for the six-seater AWD. The Omoda C9 by Jaecoo – similarly sized and also powered by Chery’s 2.0T engine – goes for RM168,800 for the 2WD and RM188,800 for the AWD. We’ll leave you to guesstimate the Tiggo 9’s price.
