The Reliability of a Gas Car + the Intelligence of an EV: Tiggo 9X Redefines the Optimal Family Car Solution

As China’s Spring Festival travel season begins, the world’s largest annual human migration once again puts transportation to the test. Sold-out high-speed rail tickets, congested highways, and long queues at service areas all serve as familiar reminders: when it comes to long-distance travel home, reliability and convenience remain the most critical qualities of a family car.

At the same time, consumer expectations are evolving. Today’s users want not only the proven stability of a gasoline vehicle, but also the intelligent experience once exclusive to electric cars. How to achieve “intelligence parity” between fuel vehicles and EVs has become a key challenge for the industry.

As the first model under Chery’s “New Generation Gasoline Vehicle” strategy, the Tiggo 9X delivers a compelling answer—setting a new benchmark for the evolution of fuel-powered family vehicles.

To mark the upcoming Spring Festival, Chery is also offering limited-time purchase benefits for the Tiggo 9X, including:

• RMB 13,000 trade-in bonus (excluding national subsidies)

• RMB 15,000 vehicle purchase fund

• Trade-in incentives up to RMB 20,000

Lowering the entry barrier for families seeking a high-value upgrade.

Built for the Ultimate Test: Race-Proven Power for Real-World Driving

Spring Festival journeys often span hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, across diverse terrains and rapidly changing weather conditions. For families traveling from southern to northern China, icy rain and snow are not uncommon. In such scenarios, powertrain reliability is paramount.

The Tiggo 9X is powered by Chery’s Kunpeng 2.0T “China Heart” Ten-Best Engine, paired with the second-generation Kunpeng 8AT Ten-Best Automatic Transmission—a golden combination refined through extreme testing.

This powertrain has proven its strength as a five-time champion of the Taklimakan Rally, delivering race-level engineering confidence to everyday users.

Key performance highlights include:

• Maximum power: 187 kW

• Peak torque: 390 N·m

• Up to 96% mechanical efficiency

• Ultra-wide 7.8 gear ratio range

• Compatible with 92-octane fuel

The result is smooth, powerful, and fuel-efficient performance, ensuring worry-free long-distance travel and enhanced ride comfort—helping reduce fatigue for every passenger.

Additionally, Chery’s self-developed AWD Snow Leopard all-wheel-drive system offers seven driving modes, intelligently adapting to more than 17 complex road conditions, including snow, mud, and sand—adding another layer of safety and confidence for the journey home.

Smart Driving Assistance That Makes Long Trips Effortless

Traditional gasoline vehicles have long been known for reliability but criticized for lacking intelligence—especially noticeable during long, congested holiday drives. The Tiggo 9X changes that perception.

Equipped with the Falcon 500 Intelligent Driving Assistance System, the Tiggo 9X delivers an EV-level smart driving experience. On highways, the Highway NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) function enables:

• Adaptive cruise control

• Intelligent following

• Automatic lane changes and overtaking

• Proactive avoidance of large vehicles

• Advance exit planning with smooth ramp entry

Drivers can remain relaxed, supervising rather than constantly operating the vehicle.

Through OTA updates, the Tiggo 9X will also unlock VIP Customized Urban Navigation, capable of:

• Memorizing up to 20 frequently used routes

• Supporting routes of up to 150 km each

Whether for daily commuting or repeated city routes, intelligent driving becomes a reality—even in a gasoline vehicle.

Parking during the holiday rush is another common pain point. The Tiggo 9X addresses this with a 300+ scenario intelligent parking system, handling tight spaces, parallel parking, and extreme roadside slots with precision. Future OTA updates will add remote parking, allowing the driver to exit the vehicle first while the car parks itself—eliminating awkward parking situations entirely.

An Intelligent Cabin That Matches EV Standards

Inside the cabin, the Tiggo 9X continues to blur the line between gasoline and electric vehicles. It features the segment-exclusive Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255 chipset, paired with an intelligent AI large-model system that supports:

• Wake-free voice interaction

• “Visible-is-speakable” commands

• Continuous multi-command dialogue

The system also integrates the latest DeepSeek conversational AI model, turning long journeys into engaging and interactive experiences.

A 15.6-inch 2.5K high-definition touchscreen brings together navigation, entertainment, and vehicle controls, while the 14-speaker “Boyaa Sound” surround audio system delivers immersive sound—perfect for festive music on the way home or cartoons to keep children entertained.

Conclusion

The Tiggo 9X represents a true breakthrough, eliminating the traditional divide between gasoline vehicles and intelligent mobility. By combining Chery’s deep expertise in fuel-engine technology with cutting-edge smart driving and AI cabin systems, it offers a solution that requires no change in driving habits, yet delivers a fully modern intelligent experience.
