Overview
- Priced at $59,990 before on-road costs, the seven-seat Tiggo 9 arrives in a single, well-equipped trim with features like a 15.6-inch display, massaging front seats and a 14-speaker Sony audio system.
- The Super Hybrid setup pairs a 1.5‑litre turbo-petrol engine with three electric motors and a 34kWh battery, with claimed outputs of 315kW and 580Nm and a 170km NEDC electric range.
- Independent tests reported divergent efficiency, with CarExpert recording about 138km of EV-only driving and roughly 6.3L/100km in hybrid use, while Drive measured around 8.1L/100km on freeway running and could not meet the combined-range claim on a Sydney–Melbourne trip.
- Chery Australia clarified battery management behaviour, saying Smart mode preserves at least 20 percent charge and Initial mode allows depletion to about 12 percent.
- Reviewers praised cabin tech and finish but found the third row tight and better for occasional use, and noted that an ANCAP rating is not yet published despite a comprehensive ADAS suite.
