Chery Tiggo 9 (2026 onwards) | Expert Rating

Summary

The Chery Tiggo 9 is a large seven-seat combustion-powered SUV, and the third model from Chinese automotive giant Chery to arrive on UK roads, following the smaller Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8.

Now on sale in the UK, the Tiggo 9 is currently only available in the petrol plug-in hybrid variety, which its manufacturer calls the ‘CSH’, or ‘Chery Super Hybrid’. Most of the British motoring media has now published reviews on this flagship SUV, with the reviewer outlook being generally positive, particularly due to the Tiggo 9’s practicality and attractive price tag.

“The level of equipment is remarkable”, says Steve Fowler of The Independent, “the front-seat comfort is excellent, and the Super Hybrid system delivers a rare combination of strong performance and genuine efficiency.”

Tim Pitt of Motoring Research notes that the Chery “feels less polished than most rival seven-seat SUVs”, particularly when it comes to driving experience which is hindered by “vague steering and grabby brakes”, but adds that “its affordable price, plentiful standard equipment and seven-year warranty could outweigh such shortcomings if your focus is value for money.”

Carwow’s Tom Wiltshire also criticises the car’s “floaty” driving experience, concluding that “the way it drives doesn’t justify the price tag.” That said, Erin Baker of Autotrader argues that the Tiggo 9 “might just be the best-handling Chinese SUV yet, which should make European brands sit up.”

While there are now plenty of published UK-based reviews on the Chery Tiggo 9 to peruse online, we are waiting on further data, such as Euro NCAP safety testing and running cost estimations before giving the Chinese SUV a full-fat Expert Rating score. Check back soon!

Chery’s new car warranty is better than average, and better than rival brands in a similar price bracket as the Tiggo 9.

Warranty on a used Chery Tiggo 9

• If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ Chery Tiggo 9 from an official Chery dealership, you will get a minimum one-year warranty included.
• If you are buying a used Chery Tiggo 9 from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
• If you are buying a used Chery Tiggo 9 from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy any used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
