Chery’s new car Tiggo 9 has officially started pre-sales, and the pre-sale price ranges from 155,000 to 175,000 CNY. It is understood that the car will be officially launched in May. The new car has been unveiled at the Shanghai International Auto Show that opened on April 18. The car will be equipped with a 2.0T engine, and it will also provide 5-seater and 7-seater versions.
Tiggo 9 does not adopt a more radical design style in terms of appearance, and the polygonal straight waterfall grille is relatively conservative in shape, but the raised shape of the grille makes the front face present a certain three-dimensional effect. The headlight group also uses a conventional shape, and the one-piece bilateral layout looks quite satisfactory.
The visual effect of the body is somewhat familiar. The straight design style, the slope shape of the top, and the hidden door handles inevitably remind people of the Range Rover. And this straight design style combined with the new style of multi-spoke wheels, the sporty atmosphere is still quite prominent.
Let’s take a look at the size. The length, width and height of the new car are 4820/1930/1710mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2820mm. Judging from the size data, it is more in line with the standard of a medium-sized car. However, with the increase of consumer demand for space, the wheelbase of many medium-sized cars is approaching 2900mm. Therefore, the wheelbase of Tiggo 9 is quite competitive in the medium-sized car market.
Let’s look at the rear of the car again. The rear windshield of the new car maintains a certain angle of inclination. After the D-pillar is blackened, it is connected with the front glass to form an integrated effect and make the roof form a suspended shape. The taillight adopts the currently popular through-type design, and it is also equipped with two exhaust decorations on both sides at the bottom.
The interior also uses more popular elements, such as dual-screen configuration, reduced physical buttons, and a higher armrest area. The new car also uses various materials such as wood grain, leather, and piano paint to wrap the interior of the car. In addition to the wireless charging board in the front, the armrest area is also equipped with a variety of touch buttons at the rear, and the shift mechanism is also placed under the steering wheel in the form of a gear.
In terms of power, the new car may launch a 2.0T version first, with a maximum power of 192kW and a maximum torque of 400N m, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch or 8AT gearbox. It is understood that Tiggo 9 may launch a plug-in hybrid version later.
There is no need to worry about the configuration. This is Chery’s forte. The Tiggo 9 is equipped with a dual-screen design, and the central control screen also uses an 8155 chip, and there is also a SONY 14-sound surround sound system. What’s more eye-catching is that Tiggo 9 is also equipped with a CDC suspension system, which is usually only found in luxury cars, and can effectively ensure the driving quality.
After understanding the product strength of Tiggo 9, you will feel really good when you look at its price. The pre-sale price is 155,000-175,000 CNY. A medium-sized SUV can have this price, and the price/performance ratio is very high.
