Verdict
The Tiggo 9’s case is straightforward: seven seats, 2.0-litre turbo power, AWD and a flagship Chery cabin brief with massage seats and Sony 14-speaker audio highlighted before launch. It is not the cheapest D-segment SUV; the Proton X90, Jetour VT9 and Leapmotor C10 all start much lower. The appeal is in the single high-spec petrol AWD package, not bargain-basement pricing.
