How many surprises does Chery still hide from us? Since the beginning of summer, Chery brand blockbuster new products have been released with high intensity, which is overwhelming. On September 25, the global launch conference of the Tiggo 9 petrol-electric twin car was held in Xi'an, and the 2025 Tiggo 9 and Tiggo 9 C-DM were officially launched, with starting prices starting at 152,900 yuan and 165,900 yuan respectively.
At the press conference, Li Xueyong, deputy general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., said, "Tiggo 9 allows all users to enjoy an ultra-comfortable and advanced experience through technical equality. The learning ability of the top grid has allowed Tiggo to become the 200,000-level 'king of the new highway' from emerging to beyond. "Where does its transcendent power come from?
一句话点评全新奇瑞瑞虎9、瑞虎9 C-DM：
The petrol-electric twins have their own advantages, and the Tiggo 9 does not want to leave room for the joint venture brand.
Advantage:
1. The dual version of the fuel electric hybrid will be sold at the same time
2. The original appearance of the family has been further extended
3. The interior technology continues to be of high standard
4. Strong fuel power, electric hybrid power has a long battery life
5. Rich comfort configuration
Insufficient:
1. The charging power of the electric hybrid version is relatively average
2. The 8AT gearbox is not standard for all series
Fuel in the left hand, electric hybrid in the right hand with confidence
If you want to be the "king of the road", you must have a high-level road performance. For Chery, which breaks through with engine technology, the power performance of Tiggo 9 is bound to be a highlight. The 2025 Tiggo 9 fuel version is equipped with a Chinese "heart" Kunpeng 2.0T engine and an 8AT/7DCT gearbox, with a maximum torque of 400Nm·m. In terms of parameters, there is no obvious gap between the performance of this engine and the BBA's models of the same displacement, and it is more than enough to drive this medium and large SUV with a wheelbase of 2820mm.
At the press conference, the electric hybrid version of the Tiggo 9, the Tiggo 9C-DM equipped with the Kunpeng Super Hybrid C-DM, was also launched at the same time. The new car is equipped with a 1.5-liter hybrid engine with a maximum thermal efficiency of 44.5%, a 4-liter fuel consumption, a CLTC pure electric range of 106 km, and supports 6.6 kW external discharge. In the actual test, this car can achieve a range of more than 2000 kilometers, which is really a bit of a "long-distance running champion".
Rich configuration, real experience confidence
After the new energy vehicle market swept into the sky, Chery, which has a large market share of fuel vehicles, also started a new wave of "arms race". Even in the fuel SUV market of about 15-200,000 yuan, the Tiggo 9 model can also give CDC variable damping suspension system, L2.5 level driving assistance, 50-inch AR-HUD, queen co-pilot and other "fashionable configurations", which is very attractive to friends who are not qualified to have pure electric models. Updating the experience without being affected by the energy replenishment conditions can indeed be regarded as a reliable route for fuel vehicles to break through.
In addition, Chery's lifetime warranty policy is particularly reassuring in the passenger car market, which pays more and more attention to the whole life cycle experience, and there are very few independent brands that dare to use quality as a guarantee.
Editor's point of view
So far, NEVs account for less than 20% of Chery's overall sales. Therefore, maintaining the market share of combustion engine vehicles and buying time for the transition to electrification has become the mission of models such as the 2025 Tiggo 9. The simultaneous launch of the C-DM plug-in hybrid model is another measure to promote the smooth transformation of classic cars. Mild products are more acceptable, and the Tiggo family has also gained new vitality in the process of gradual "electrocution".
