The flagship for the brand will be the Chery Tiggo 9, offered in both five-seat and seven-seat configurations to suit different family needs and road trips. Deliveries to dealers are slated to begin in May, signaling a clear push by Chery into more premium territory and expanding its global lineup with a model that bridges everyday practicality and high-end styling.
When compared to the Tiggo 8 Pro Max in the Russian market, which starts at around 3 million rubles, the Tiggo 9 is positioned as a similarly capable yet more advanced option. Even in its most accessible variant, the new model will carry a price that reflects the brand’s emphasis on generous equipment and modern comfort, likely edging slightly higher as the range expands to include more upscale finishes and technologies that are expected in this segment.
The design language reinforces Chery’s signature aesthetic, centered on a dominant polygonal grille that immediately signals presence. The grille resembles a waterfall in its broad, cascading form, while the vertical elements are arranged in a zigzag pattern. This geometry contributes a pronounced three-dimensional effect, and the front bumper integrates a complex, sculpted air intake that blends form with function, aiming to optimize airflow and cooling for a turbocharged powertrain.
With slim, sharply defined headlights and a hood that rises in a way that emphasizes strength, the Tiggo 9 gives an impression of reliability and power. The crossover is engineered to deliver strong performance, with a claimed engine output of 254 horsepower, underscoring its capability for confident highway and overtaking maneuvers while maintaining everyday usability for family driving or long journeys.
Discreet but deliberate design cues extend to the vehicle’s detailing: hidden door handles contribute to a clean shoulder line, while a lightly sloped, black-painted roof adds a dramatic silhouette without compromising practicality or headroom for rear passengers.
Inside, a cockpit that blends digital precision with intuitive ergonomics centers on a dual-display setup. The left screen serves as the instrument cluster, and the right screen functions as the multimedia touchscreen, delivering a cohesive, driver-focused interface. The cabin also hints at modern material choices, including a center console insert with a matte texture that adds tactile depth and a premium feel to the interior surface in day-to-day use.
In terms of dimensions, the car’s wheelbase measures 2820 mm, while the overall length, width, and height are 4820 mm, 1930 mm, and 1699 mm respectively. These numbers translate into generous cabin space and a substantial footprint on the road, contributing to confident handling and a roomy interior that can accommodate luggage and passengers with ease. The combination of a long wheelbase and thoughtful packaging is aimed at delivering a balanced ride quality, with ample rear legroom and a well-proportioned cargo area to support family trips or longer excursions.
