Where Brutality Meets Elegance
Front Fascia Drama: A blackened waterfall grille framed by split-projector headlights creates an imposing “gaze,” enhanced by matte silver or gray finishes .
Profile Poetry: A floating roof and flush door handles achieve a 0.318Cd drag coefficient. The 2820mm wheelbase—paired with 20-inch alloy wheels (245/50 R20 Cooper tires)—balances proportion and dynamism .
Functional Tail: A full-width LED bar embossed with “CHERY” floats above a chrome-accented diffuser. The 5-seater’s 717L trunk expands to 2,021L (7-seat version), swallowing family expedition gear .
Kunpeng Super Hybrid C-DM Heart
Engine: 1.5T dedicated hybrid unit (44.5% thermal efficiency), 115kW/220N·m standalone .
E-Motor: Front-mounted 165kW/390N·m PSM, combined output 280kW/610N·m, 0-100km/h in 7.5s .
Transmission: Proprietary 3-speed DHT enables seamless engine engagement at 18km/h .
Silicon Valley Meets Spa Retreat
Digital Hub: Dual 12.3-inch curved displays + 50-inch AR-HUD, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155, with 5G/OTA and quad-zone voice recognition .
Comfort Engineering:
Zero-Gravity Queen Seat: 8-point massage/ventilation/heating, synced with 256-color ambient lighting and Sony 12-speaker audio .
C-Pure Air System: Auto-purification post-lock, PM2.5 filtration >99.9% .

Active Agents: L2.5 autonomy with 21 functions, including rear collision braking and blind-spot intervention .
Battery Armor: 590MPa steel-enclosed pack, 48x national vibration tested, -35°C cold start capable .
Chery’s “Engineering Monk” Obsession
Over-Engineering: 44.5% thermal efficiency engine developed over 5 years; 3DHT gearbox leads patent rankings .
Global Cred: Compliant with EU/ASEAN safety norms. Chery SUV global sales hit 1.218 million units Jan-Aug 2024, hybrids surging .
Service Revolution: Lifetime warranty for private owners; dealerships praised for “progressively professional service” (owner surveys) .
Verdict: The Hybrid Segment’s Silent Revolution
The Tiggo 9 C-DM’s triumph lies in its trifecta: 2000km range at ICE cost, 44.5% thermal efficiency redefining energy conversion, and a CDC/8155-equipped cabin that pampers occupants. Against joint-venture ICE rivals, it dominates in intelligence and economy; against domestic hybrids, its mechanical sophistication reveals Chery’s depth. As one owner proclaimed: “This isn’t a compromise—it’s the endgame.”
