Amidst the flurry of premieres at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, Chery, a prominent Chinese brand, reveals its latest offering: the Tiggo 9 PHEV. Building upon its predecessor’s success, this mid-size crossover now embraces plug-in hybrid technology.
Powering the Tiggo 9 PHEV is a 2.0-liter forced induction engine mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Combined with an electric motor, this crossover delivers 235 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque from the internal combustion engine, while the electric motor contributes an additional 221 hp.
Chery touts impressive fuel efficiency, with the Tiggo 9 PHEV achieving the equivalent of 45.2 US mpg on the local cycle and boasting a total driving range exceeding 870 miles under WLTC testing.
Visually, the Tiggo 9 PHEV distinguishes itself with a redesigned grille, flush-mounted door handles, and plastic cladding for a utilitarian flair. Inside, state-of-the-art technology reigns, with a 15.6-inch high-definition infotainment system, 3D-stitched seats, and other modern amenities.
Manufactured at the Wuhu factory in Anhui, China, the Tiggo 9 series offers both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations, catering to diverse preferences in the mid-size crossover segment.
