- Power That Keeps You Ahead
Under the hood, the TIGGO 9 CSH packs a 1.5T DHE (Dedicated Hybrid Engine 5.0 Gen), combining petrol and electric power for 455kW and 920 Nm of torque. Translation? Smooth, effortless acceleration that makes overtaking on South African highways feel safe, confident, and just a little fun. - Fuel Efficiency That Pays Off
Even when the battery is low, the TIGGO 9 CSH sips only 4.2L/100km. That’s fuel efficiency you actually notice in your wallet. With an ultra-long range of 1200–1400 km, a single tank could take you from Johannesburg to Cape Town. That’s right, road trip without constant petrol panic. And if you need to overtake, the 0–100 km/h in 5.4 seconds lets you do it confidently, no drama, no lag. - Fast Charging, Fast Living
Worried about waiting for your car to charge? Don’t, this PHEV goes from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes with a DC charger. That’s less time waiting and more time enjoying the ride. Combine that with smart energy management and regenerative braking, and suddenly every red robot and every kilometre is working for you, not against you. - Space for Everyone and Everything
With 7 spacious seats and 448 litres of boot space, even with all seven seats in use, the TIGGO 9 CSH is perfect for South African families, weekends away or those last-minute road trips with friends. Comfort, flexibility, and convenience, all wrapped up in a stylish Chery plug-in hybrid SUV. - Safety Meets Smart Technology
