The TIGGO 9 is currently the largest model in Chery Malaysia’s TIGGO range and was introduced by Chery Malaysia as its new flagship and first premium offering for the Malaysian market.
For Malaysian families, the main proposition is a combination of three-row practicality, AWD, a relatively powerful turbocharged engine and a cabin equipment level focused strongly on passenger comfort.
Top 5 Interesting Features
1. 2.0 TGDI turbo performance with intelligent AWD
Official Specification:
1,998 cc turbocharged petrol engine producing 256 PS (187 kW) and 390 Nm, paired with a 7-speed DCT and intelligent all-wheel drive. Seven drive modes are provided: Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, Mud, Sand and Off-Road. Official fuel consumption is 8.3 L/100 km.
Why It Matters:
The combination should suit buyers who regularly carry passengers on highways while providing additional traction flexibility for wet roads and less predictable surfaces.
2. Large 15.6-inch digital interface
Official Specification: A 15.6-inch 2.5K infotainment display powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, HD head-up display and a 50W wireless phone charger with cooling.
Why It Matters:
Wireless smartphone integration and a large central display make navigation, entertainment and daily connectivity easier without relying heavily on cables.
3. Comfort designed around all three rows
Official Specification: Front seats include massage, ventilation and heating, while the second row also receives ventilated and heated seats. Rear passengers have dedicated climate controls and individual air vents, while the cabin also includes a panoramic sunroof.
Why It Matters:
Seat ventilation and separate rear climate management are particularly useful in Malaysia’s hot and humid conditions, especially for families travelling long distances.
4. 10 airbags and 23 ADAS functions
Official Specification: 10 airbags, a body structure using 85% high-strength steel, including 21% hot-pressed formed steel, and 23 driver-assistance functions. These include Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Automatic Parking Assistant.
Why It Matters:
Large family SUVs often spend significant time on highways and in congested urban traffic, where active driver-assistance technology can provide useful additional support.
5. Up to 2,065 litres of luggage capacity
Official Specification: Boot capacity is 143 litres with all rows in use, 448 litres with the third row folded, and 2,065 litres with the second and third rows folded.
Why It Matters:
Buyers can trade passenger capacity for cargo space depending on the journey—useful for family holidays, airport runs or carrying larger household items.
Who Should Buy This Car?
The TIGGO 9 is worth considering for families wanting a large three-row petrol SUV with AWD, strong equipment levels and a more comfort-oriented cabin. It may particularly appeal to buyers moving up from smaller C-segment SUVs who need more passenger and luggage space but are not looking for an MPV.
Things Buyers Should Consider
At 4,810 mm long and 1,925 mm wide, the TIGGO 9 is a substantial vehicle, so buyers who regularly use tight condominium or city parking spaces should experience its dimensions firsthand. Its official 8.3 L/100 km consumption should also be considered against hybrid alternatives if fuel efficiency is a major priority. The Malaysian model uses 20-inch wheels with 245/50 R20 tyres, another ownership-cost item worth factoring into long-term budgeting.
Buyers should also distinguish between the official RM179,800 Peninsular Malaysia OTR price and promotional or package pricing when comparing quotations.
