Chery is stepping into the luxury seven seater SUV game with serious flair. Tiggo 9 is Chery’s flagship 7 seater SUV. The vehicle is quite grand from the inside and outside. Tiggo 9 stands out with a bold diamond patterned front grille, slim LED headlights. Its commanding stance is further emphasized by 20-inch alloy wheels and a matt finish paint. The cabin is spacious, featuring premium leather, ambient lighting, massage & ventilated seats and a panoramic roof for a luxurious, airy feel. A 2.0L turbo petrol engine with max power of 257 hp and 400 Nm, across an 8-speed auto, rewarded with a smooth acceleration, which was surprising to see for such a big vehicle. The top end Tiggo9 with all features is for just Aed 147,000 with 6 year manufacturing warranty and 2 year service warranty.
Exterior
- A diamond designed Grille paired with sleek ‘tiger eye’ looking LED headlights gives it a bold, upscale presence.
- 20-inch alloy wheels with elegant looking rims.
- LED rear taillights that stretch from one end to the other giving it a striking effect on the road.
- Electric door handles that lie flush with the body
Door Handles
There’s something undeniably futuristic about car handles that lie flush with the body and when they sense you approaching, the door handles would elegantly spring out. In the Tiggo 9, Chery’s concealed electric door handles not only look clean and modern but also elevate the vehicle’s prestige. The flush design enhances aerodynamics and gives the SUV a minimalist luxury look. Welcome lights, folding mirror and doors unlocking is a standard feature in the vehicle.
Interior
Step inside the Tiggo 9, and you’re enveloped in a cabin that blends luxury and innovation seamlessly. It’s decked out with leather, suede, aluminum and wooden accents. You have a diamond shaped knob in the center for drive modes such as Eco, Sport, Sand, Off-road, and more. Door panels come with leather and wood grain. A 50w built-in wireless charging is quite impressive to see(although I never managed to get a fast charge of 15w into effect for my iphone 16 pro). There is a handy alert if you accidentally leave your phone on the wireless charger while you step out of the car, which does work well. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is built-in and is a seamless integration once you have it paired the first time. You’re welcomed by a cabin that feels airy and refined. That’s largely thanks to the gear knob relocated to the steering column, instantly freeing up the center console. The sleek armrest has a cool box storage underneath.
Display Screen
The 15.6 inch center display is a highlight, especially with its vivid wallpapers. You also can have your own custom wallpaper. It’s a touch screen that just works flawless. You can change wallpapers simply by swiping. The design is minimal with hardly any buttons to be found. Most of the time my hands are fiddling with the giant touch screen for vents, massage seats or the radio control. You do have dedicated radio controls on your steering wheel but sometimes it’s easier to just scroll and pick up your beats on screen. I wished they had a feature to pull forward the center screen, since your arm can feel tired while spending more time stretching for the screen, especially if your driver seats are further away from the steering wheel. Front and rear passengers have both USB-A and USB-c charging ports for convenient charging. The soft touch materials found on the dashboard such as the suede does make the interior feel extra special.
Ventilated, heated, and massaging front seats:
There are no ordinary chairs inside Tiggo 9, they’re designed to pamper. With 10-position massage settings, ventilation, and heating built in, they deliver spa-level comfort even during the longest trips. Dubbed as ‘female-exclusive” seat, this nifty feature allows the front passenger to settle into an effortlessly reclined posture, almost like a first class airline seat. Auto folding electric rear seats makes it effortless when wanting to make more space in the rear. Even the rear passengers have electronic seat adjustments along with window curtains. The audio system is powered by Sony and an interesting feature was a personal audio speaker on the driver headset, exclusive for the driver. The sound on radio wasn’t as crisp as I wanted. It’s definitely not the best of audio experience.
The Tiggo 9 isn’t exactly a compact stroller. Despite its formidable dimensions, the Tiggo 9 maneuvers with surprising agility. Those tight Dubai parking spots can feel intimidating. A 540‑degree camera system, delivering top-down, front, rear and side views – all stitched seamlessly to eliminate blind spots. Pair that with intelligent 360° parking assist and you get a clear visual map of your surroundings. The light, responsive steering wheel makes navigating tight alleys or swerving between lines look so easy. While the size can be daunting in crowded parking, the tech more than compensates. The Chery Tiggo 9 transforms parking from chore to charm, thanks to Its state of the art camera array.
When it comes to safety features, you are much more than safe.
- 9-Airbag System: Comprehensive protection for all passengers
- Blind Spot Monitoring: Advanced sensors ensure you’re always aware of your surroundings.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintain safe driving speeds with automatic
- Forward Collision Warning
- Lane changing assistance
- Emergency braking systems
- 360° camera views
Sometimes trying to be too safe can also be annoying, such was the case when there is continuous warning noise in the vehicle for the rear passengers not wearing a seatbelt and there is no way to disable this feature. Also the indicators have a particular sound which isn’t as comforting as the classic tick tock sound, rather it has a louder digital sound.
The Chery Tiggo 9 isn’t just about moving people from one place to another. It’s about transforming each ride into a luxury retreat. From advanced seating features to thoughtful comfort touches and immersive in-cabin experience, it raises the bar for what comfort means in a modern SUV. Whether you’re ferrying family or simply craving serenity on the road, the Tiggo 9 makes every mile a moment of indulgence.
