C9 in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the C9 range gains the PHEV, pairing a 1.5-litre turbo petrol system with AWD, 543 hp (537 PS) and a claimed 145 km WLTP electric range. The petrol FWD and AWD remain. A Matte Black Limited Edition has also begun deliveries at RM191,800. A facelift with split headlights and mechanical door handles has been revealed for 2027, rather than introduced as the current Malaysian C9.

Which variant to buy

For most buyers, the RM168,800 FWD is the rational C9: it matches the AWD petrol’s 1,998 cc, 257 hp output and five seats, without the extra RM20,000. Pay RM188,800 for the AWD only if four-wheel drive is a real requirement. The RM208,800 PHEV is another RM20,000, bringing AWD, a 1,498 cc plug-in-hybrid powertrain and 543 hp; it suits drivers able to make regular use of its 145 km WLTP electric range.

Verdict

The C9 makes its case through its footprint, luggage room and 257 hp petrol drivetrain, rather than a budget entry price. Its FWD opening price is higher than the Chery Tiggo 8, Tiggo 9 and Mazda CX-8, although only narrowly against the latter two. The PHEV’s claimed 145 km WLTP electric range gives it a distinct use case for drivers who charge regularly.
