Overview

The Chery Tiggo 9 is a seven-seat D-segment SUV for buyers who need three rows, a petrol powertrain and all-wheel drive. It arrives in Malaysia as a new 2026 generation with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, wet dual-clutch automatic transmission and AWD. Prices start from RM166,800.

The Tiggo 9 enters Malaysia in 2026 as a newly launched model, rather than a carry-over range. The Malaysian line-up consists of one AWD seven-seater with a 2.0T petrol engine rated at 256 PS and 390 Nm. Key items confirmed for the model include massage seats and a Sony 14-speaker audio system. There is no later 2026 variant or facelift update in the Malaysian range.

The Tiggo 9 makes a clear case for buyers who specifically want a seven-seat petrol SUV with AWD, 256 PS and 390 Nm. But it is not the lowest-priced D-segment SUV: the Proton X90, Jetour VT9, Leapmotor C10 and Chery Tiggo 8 all cost less. Its RM166,800 price sits close to the Mazda CX-8 at RM165,360 and below the Omoda Jaecoo C9 at RM168,800.
