NEW CHERY TIGGO 9 SUPER HYBRID PHEV 7 SEATER REVIEW AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The Chery Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid presents a compelling package for its price point, offering a luxurious interior, extensive standard features, and impressive claimed EV range. The reviewer highlights the opulent design, comfortable ride, and advanced technology, including a large infotainment screen and a premium Sony sound system. However, significant compromises are noted, particularly regarding the third-row usability and safety, which lacks airbag coverage. Accessing the third row is also described as cumbersome due to a design flaw in the seat-folding mechanism. While the powertrain delivers strong performance and the EV range is substantial (around 138km realistically achieved in testing), the reviewer suggests it's best suited as a five-seater with occasional bonus seats rather than a true seven-seater. Safety features are abundant for the first two rows, but the absence of third-row airbags is a notable drawback. Despite these issues, the Tiggo 9 is praised for its value proposition, especially compared to more expensive rivals, and its efficient hybrid operation.
