BESIDES the Omoda 7, Chery also introduced its flagship SUV model, the Tiggo 9 PHEV, at the Auto China 2024.

Looks-wise, the Tiggo 9 PHEV is evidently not a huge departure to h0w the Tiggo 8 Pro looks like, but as a flagship model in its lineup, it has a bigger footprint.

It measures 4,810 mm in length, 1,925 mm in width, 1,741 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,770 mm, making it 88 mm longer, 65 mm wider, and 36 mm higher than the Tiggo 8 Pro.

There are also some design elements that help the Tiggo 9 PHEV stand out including the Saturn Ring hexagon grille, dynamic body lines, and 20-inch multi-spoke wheels.

Inside, the unit showcased in Beijing features two-tone cream and blue leather upholstery, as well as 3D stitching on the seats. It is equipped with a digital instrument panel and a 15.6-inch HD 2.5K touch display.

The ‘heart’ of the Tiggo 9 PHEV is the 2.0-litre turbo engine pumping out 235 hp and 385 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The engine is combined with a 3DHT electric motor that provides an additional 221 hp.

The ICE-electric motor combo results in a fuel consumption level of around 5.2 liters per 100 km based on the WLTC cycle and a driving range of up to 1,400 km.

In addition to the PHEV, the Tiggo 9 will also have a petrol variant, but details regarding this variant have not yet been announced. Both will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year.
