Chery Tiggo 9: 187 kW 2.0T flagship SUV detailed on global site

Chery's global website gives a full walkthrough of the Tiggo 9, its flagship SUV, which stretches 4,810 mm long and 1,925 mm wide on a 2,800 mm wheelbase. Power comes from a 2.0T GDI petrol engine rated at 187 kW and 390 N·m, channeled through an eight-speed automatic for a claimed 0-100 km/h sprint of 8 seconds. An intelligent four-wheel-drive system offers economy, standard and sport drive modes, plus terrain programs for sand, mud, snow and off-road driving.

Inside, the Tiggo 9 pairs a 15.6-inch central display with a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, a head-up display and the Snapdragon 8155 chip. Buyers also get a 540-degree camera view, 19 driver-assistance functions including automatic parking assistance, and connected services such as remote vehicle control and over-the-air updates, while a 50W wireless charging pad handles phones.

On the safety side, the body uses 85% high-strength steel with 21% hot-formed components, and the car carries up to 10 airbags, 2,060 mm traverse side air curtains and Bosch's IPB brake-by-wire system. Comfort highlights include a 12-way power driver's seat with 10-point massage, ventilated and heated front seats, power-adjustable second-row seats and a one-touch reclining co-pilot seat that Chery markets as a "female exclusive passenger seat".

Styling follows a tiger-inspired design language, with a diamond-pattern grille, full-width LED taillights, 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels and a panoramic roof with a power sunshade.
