A BOLD new chapter in automotive innovation has arrived on Zimbabwe’s roads. The all-new Chery Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid (CSH) Vanguard All Wheel Drive (AWD) is now on display at the ultra-modern Chery Zimbabwe showroom in Pomona.
This luxury SUV is a statement that the future of motoring is already here. Elegant, powerful and remarkably efficient, this Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) represents how far Chery has evolved as a genuine global name in premium vehicles.
The Tiggo 9 PHEV sets a new bar in performance, comfort and technology. It is designed for motorists who value both luxurious refinement and forward-thinking sustainability.
Power meets precision
Beneath its sculpted bonnet lies one of the most advanced hybrid systems on the market.
A 1,5-litre turbocharged dedicated hybrid 5th generation petrol engine, teaming up with three electric motors to produce a combined 455 kW, launching the Tiggo 9 from 0–100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds.
That is serious performance — placing it in the same league as premium European marques costing far more.
Yet the strength of the Tiggo 9 is not just about power — it is how intelligently that power is used.

The hybrid system seamlessly switches between electric and petrol modes to deliver speed, silence and outstanding efficiency. With an electric-only range of 160km, fuel consumption as low as 1,4L/100km and a combined range of an incredible 1 400km, it combines performance with frugality in perfect harmony.
Co-developed with Bosch, the Tiggo 9’s next-generation drive-by-wire system offers effortless control and precise braking response. Every acceleration and deceleration feels measured and smooth — a harmony of strength and sophistication.
Confidence in every condition
Despite its imposing dimensions — nearly five metres long — the Tiggo 9 PHEV handles with surprising agility. Its Full Scene Intelligent AWD system automatically adjusts traction for road or off-road conditions.
Drivers can also choose between economic, standard, sport and terrain-focused modes for sand, mud, snow, or rough ground, ensuring confidence wherever the journey leads.
The SUV’s structure uses 85% high-strength steel and 21% hot-formed reinforcement, giving the chassis superb rigidity for crash protection and stability. Its refined suspension easily manages potholes, gravel roads and long highway stretches, maintaining a poised, comfortable ride. Steering feels light yet precise, keeping the Tiggo 9 secure and composed through every turn.
A cabin that redefines comfort
Inside, the Tiggo 9 blends serenity with sophistication. The minimalist interior follows Chery’s design philosophy — known as the “Howl of a Tiger” — symbolising both grace and power.
The driver’s seat offers 12-way adjustment and a 10-point massage, while all three seating rows provide generous room and excellent support.
A panoramic glass roof enhances the sense of space, while laminated glass and extensive insulation keep the cabin whisper-quiet. The 14-speaker Sony surround system fills the interior with concert-quality sound, creating an atmosphere of calm luxury — even on noisy urban routes.
Intelligent technology, simplified
The digital cockpit centres around a 15,6-inch high-definition touchscreen, paired with a 10,25-inch digital instrument cluster. The system is intuitive and swift, featuring Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless charging, and Chery’s Internet of Vehicles (IoV) platform. IoV adds live navigation, remote vehicle control, and over-the-air (OTA) updates, ensuring your Tiggo 9 stays connected and up-to-date.
Practical assistance is plentiful, with a 540° panoramic camera and Automatic Parking Assistant (APA) making tight manoeuvres effortless.
The Tiggo 9 also offers up to 19 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, lane keeping assist and traffic jam assist — all working together to keep you safer on every trip.
To complete the security package, the SUV comes with up to 10 airbags, including curtain and far-side protection for all occupants.
Everyday luxury, everyday use
The seven-seat layout gives families and professionals remarkable versatility, with flexible seat-folding options to expand cargo space. The Tiggo 9’s sleek silhouette, with slim LED lighting and bold 20-inch alloy wheels, commands attention wherever it goes.
Priced at US$73 100, including a home charging station, the Tiggo 9 PHEV delivers incredible value for its craftsmanship and technology. Owners also enjoy a best-in-class ownership package:
5 000km first free service
5-year/150 000km warranty
10-year/Unlimited kilometre battery warranty (for first owner).
This generous support reflects Chery’s confidence in its engineering and commitment to long-term customer satisfaction.
Quick, clean charging
The Tiggo 9’s 34 kWh lithium-ion battery supports fast charging from 30% to 80% in just 25 minutes, while a 7 kW wall charger provides a full recharge overnight. Its smart hybrid management system optimises energy use, balancing driving performance with efficiency on every journey.
Whether powering up at home or on the go, the process is seamless and designed to fit into modern life — proof that hybrid living can be both powerful and practical.
The verdict: The future is here
The Chery Tiggo 9 PHEV is not merely joining the luxury SUV conversation — it is changing it. Blending sophisticated styling, exhilarating performance, and cutting-edge hybrid technology, it proves that luxury and sustainability can move forward together.
