Chery Tiggo 9X: a large SUV, engines and what the buyer should know
The Chery Tiggo 9X is the large flagship SUV from Chery. Introduced in 2023, it's a rare model in Lithuania, so in this article we'll look at what sets it apart, the powertrains on offer and what to consider before buying.
Tiggo 9X in brief
The Tiggo 9X is one of Chery's largest SUVs: spacious interior, large screen setup and more luxurious trim than previous Tiggo models. In some markets, both five- and seven-seat versions are available.
You won't see this model as often in Lithuania as the Tiggo 7 or Tiggo 8, so the used market is slim. Mostly, these are cars imported from other countries or sold as nearly new.
Which version to choose
Since its launch, the model has been produced in one generation, so the main choice is not the generation, but the powertrain: a conventional petrol engine or a plug-in hybrid. The hybrid is suitable for those who often drive short distances and can charge the car at home.
The petrol version is simpler, as it doesn't have a large traction battery, but running costs are higher. Before buying, find out which version is being sold in a specific case, as names in the market may vary.
Engines and gearboxes
The main petrol engine is the 2.0-litre turbo with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Alongside it, a plug-in hybrid version with an electric motor is offered.
Exact power and consumption figures vary by market and year, so check the technical passport or seller's documents rather than relying on general numbers.
What to check when buying a used Tiggo 9X
First, verify the car's origin and whether it is properly registered in Europe. Check for a complete set of documents, a service book, and ensure the software is up to date.
For hybrid versions, request a battery condition report and check if the charging function and port work. Also, inquire about the availability of spare parts and service partners in your city, as parts for less common models might take longer to arrive.
Trim levels
Trim names vary by market, so we provide one consolidated description.

Tiggo 9X gearbox comparison
| Benzininis 2,0 l turbo | Įkraunamas hibridas | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it suits | Often — long-distance driving | City and mixed-cycle driving |
| Gearbox | Dual-clutch automatic | Hybrid transmission |
| Charging | No need | Requires a charger or a nest |
| Price in the used market (relatively) | Mid-range | High-end |
If you don't want to worry about charging, the petrol version will suffice. If you often drive short distances and have somewhere to charge, it's worth considering a hybrid.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Tiggo 9X available in Lithuania?
Officially, it’s not as widely offered here as other Chery models, so you’ll often find imported or grey-market cars. Before buying, check if it meets European standards.
What’s the difference between the Tiggo 9 and Tiggo 9X?
Names can vary by market, so when buying, verify not just the name but also the engine, body, and trim level against the car’s documents.
Is it worth choosing a hybrid?
If you do a lot of city driving and can charge at home, then yes — running costs can be significantly lower. If you mostly cover long distances and don’t have a charger, a simpler petrol version will be more convenient.
