We were lucky enough to get an exclusive first look around the new Chery Tiggo 9 last week, a stunning 7-seat SUV packed with advanced technology, premium comfort, and impressive features as standard. Combining bold design with practicality and refinement, the Tiggo 9 is set to make a strong impression in the SUV market.
New to the UK market, Chery has quickly started turning heads with its growing SUV range, offering premium features and modern styling at a more affordable price point. Drivers have already been impressed by the value for money across the line-up, with every model also benefiting from a reassuring 7-year warranty as standard.
Stepping inside the Chery Tiggo 9, it immediately feels far more premium than you might expect for the price point. The cabin is modern, spacious, and packed with technology, with high-quality materials used throughout to create a refined driving experience for both the driver and passengers alike.
As a 7-seat SUV, practicality is a huge part of the Chery Tiggo 9’s appeal. We even tested whether three adults could comfortably sit across each row of the cabin and we’re pleased to say it’s definitely possible. Chery has clearly put thought into the third row of seats too, giving passengers leather-trimmed comfort seats, cup holders, and enough leg room to comfortably accommodate adults.
Boot space is naturally reduced when all seven seats are in use, but there is still enough room for smaller bags and everyday essentials. Fold the third-row seats neatly under the floor, and luggage capacity increases significantly, making the Tiggo 9 even more practical for family life and longer journeys.
“Even with all seven seats in use, there’s still enough boot space for everyday shopping and essentials.”

Up front, both the driver and front passenger can enjoy a range of luxury seat functions, including heated, ventilated, and even massaging seats. The impressive 540-degree camera system also makes manoeuvring and parking the large SUV far easier and more confidence-inspiring.
“For such a big car, it’s surprising how manageable it feels from the driver’s seat. I felt comfortable, confident, and could park it with ease.”

Under the bonnet, the Chery Tiggo 9 is powered by Chery’s impressive Super Hybrid system, combining a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with powerful electric motors to deliver strong performance alongside impressive efficiency. The plug-in hybrid setup helps the Tiggo 9 feel smooth, refined, and responsive on the road, with instant acceleration from the electric power making the large 7-seat SUV surprisingly quick. Despite its practicality and family-focused design, the Tiggo 9 produces over 420bhp and can accelerate from 0-62mph in just over five seconds. Even more impressive is the claimed electric-only range of up to 91 miles, allowing many everyday journeys to be completed without needing to use the petrol engine at all.
The Chery Tiggo 9 is available in a range of colours, including Arctic White, Eclipse Black, Nightfall Ice Grey, Slate Grey, and Forest Green, with pricing varying depending on the chosen finish. However, when it comes to specification, things are refreshingly simple, as the Tiggo 9 comes in one highly equipped trim level packed with premium features as standard. Drivers can enjoy technology and comfort features including adaptive cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, SONY audio system, hands-free tailgate, and much more without needing to upgrade through multiple trim options.
If you’re in the market for a luxury 7-seat SUV that blends premium comfort, advanced technology, and impressive practicality, the Chery Tiggo 9 should definitely be on your shortlist. With its high level of standard equipment, refined hybrid performance, and spacious interior, it offers incredible value for money in a competitive market.
