CHERY has introduced a new flagship model with the arrival of the TIGGO 9 CSH priced from £43,105.

With deliveries expected from December 2025 the TIGGO 9 CSH pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with twin electric motors and a three-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission.

Together, they deliver 428ps and 580 Nm of torque - taking the seven-seater from 0-62 mph in just 5.4 seconds and offering over 650 miles of total range and 91 miles of pure electric driving.

Though self-charging, the 34.46 kWh M3P battery supports DC rapid charging up to 71 kW, replenishing 30-80 per cent in around 18 minutes, and features 6.6 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability to power anything from laptops to campsite lighting.

It has six driving modes - Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, Sand and Off-Road - and standard all-wheel drive.

Featuring heated and ventilated eco leather seats feature front and rear, with front seat passengers having a multi-programme massage function, the TIGGO 9 CSH is available only in top grade Summit specification.

It has a 15.6-inch touchscreen paired with a 10.25-inch digital instrument display and head-up display with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and cooled wireless charging with over-the-air updates.

Highlights include a power tailgate with key-sensing auto-opening function, a 540-degree camera system, automatic parking, and remote engine and climate start.

It also had a Pet Mode which maintains a cool, ventilated cabin if pets are briefly left inside and a fully reclining front passenger.

A 2,800 mm wheelbase enables a seven-seat layout (2+3+2), with an electrically sliding and reclining second row, and a third row that folds flat to create up to 819/2,021 litres of boot space.

A 1.3-metre panoramic sunroof adds to the sense of light and openness inside the cabin.

A total of ten airbags - including a far-side centre airbag between driver and passenger - as well as 19 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are fitted as standard including adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keep (ELK) alongside blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert and braking, automatic emergency braking, traffic jam assist, integrated cruise assistance, intelligent headlight control and automatic parking assistance.
