Chery Master is making moves in Pakistan. They plan to start local assembly of four Tiggo models, including the Tiggo 9, from January 2026. And a Tiggo 9 PHEV has already shown up as an imported unit. This points to a quick launch soon.
Local Assembly Boost for Tiggo Lineup
Building cars right here in Pakistan changes things. It cuts costs and speeds up delivery. Expect the Tiggo 4, Tiggo 7, Tiggo 8, and Tiggo 9 to roll out from local plants. No more long waits for imports. This setup could make Chery vehicles more affordable for everyday buyers.
Power and Range That Stand Out
The Tiggo 9 PHEV packs a punch. It pairs a 1.5-liter hybrid engine with three electric motors. That gives 416 horsepower and 580 Nm of torque. Smooth acceleration for a mid-size SUV.
But the real draw is the electric range. It hits 146 km on battery alone. That's one of the best for plug-in hybrids worldwide. City drives without gas? Easy. And charging is fast. A 71kW DC setup goes from 30% to 80% in 18 minutes. Plug in during lunch, and you're set for the afternoon.
Features for Family Road Trips
This seven-seater feels premium without the fuss. Roll on 20-inch alloy wheels. Inside, a 15.6-inch touchscreen runs the show. Sony's 14-speaker audio fills the space. Seats heat up or cool down as needed. A panoramic sunroof lets in the views.
Storage? Plenty for gear. And the hybrid system keeps things quiet and efficient.
Facing Off Against the Kia Sorento
The Tiggo 9 PHEV eyes the Kia Sorento HEV. Both target families want hybrid power. But price will settle the score. Chery's local build might edge it lower. Watch for the final tag; it could shake up the mid-size SUV market in Pakistan.
Excited for greener drives? This Tiggo could fit right in. Stay tuned for launch details.
