2025 Chery Tiggo 9
For the exterior, the 2025 Chery Tiggo 9’s front face adopts a larger and denser straight waterfall-style grille. The body shape is consistent with the 2024 model. Design elements including the hidden door handles, floating roof, roof racks, and electric tailgate are not absent. However, the rims are more dense. Additionally, the new car is available in five exterior colors: black, silver, gray, and two shades of white.
At the same time, the dimensions remained unchanged: 4820/1930/1699 (1710) mm, with a wheelbase of 2820 mm, positioned as a medium-sized SUV. The curb weights are 1719 kg, 1766 kg, and 1832 kg.
Power comes from Chery’s Kunpeng 2.0TGDI direct injection turbocharged engine that outputs a maximum power of 192 kW (257 hp) and a peak torque of 400 Nm, mated to a 7DCT or 8AT. The fuel tank capacity is 65 L and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption range is 7.5 L – 8.5 L per 100 km. Some trims are equipped with continuous damping and a real-time four-wheel drive system with seven driving modes.
The interior retains the design of the previous model, covered in a large area of soft material. The cockpit features a 24.6-inch dual-screen comprised of the instrument panel and central control screen, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip. A 50-inch AR-HUD is also present.
Other standard configurations include 256-color ambient lighting, a rear center armrest, adjustable rear seat backrests, front-seat map pocket + umbrella slot, and level 2 advanced driving assistance capabilities such as forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision warning, rear collision warning, and hill-start assist control.
