ISLAMABAD – When Chery Tiggo 9 PHEV rolled into Pakistan, it definitely got everyone’s attention with its sleek lines, panoramic sunroof, and dashboard laoded with high-tech screens. Promising hybrid engine packing 610 hp, a range that could handle long trips, and every luxury feature imaginable, the SUV seemed too good to be true. And, as many early drivers soon discovered, it just might be. Behind the glossy exterior and dazzling specs lurked cramped third-row seats, vanishing boot space, and tech quirks that made everyday driving more stressful than convenient. What appeared to be perfect blend of power, comfort, and style was, in reality, the vehicle with price tag of Rs 13,694,000 demanded buyers think twice before handing over Rs13.7 million. Despite glitz, buyers cannot hide few hard truths. The third-row seating is cramped, making long trips test for adults, while boot practically vanishes when all seven seats are in use. Some models come without a spare tyre, relying solely on a repair kit. This makes long travel uncomfortable for many. Driving Tiggo 9 reveals body roll in sharp turns, steering that feels loose at times, and braking that isn’t as smooth as expected. The all-touchscreen interface, while visually impressive, can be distracting and occasionally sluggish, with too few physical buttons for day-to-day convenience. Practical storage is limited, and taller drivers might struggle with restricted steering adjustments. There are also previous reports about quality and feature discrepancies in global variants, showing importance of confirming the exact spec before making purchase of Chery Tiggo 9. So is the Tiggo 9 Pakistan’s future-ready SUV or a flashy gamble? Its powerful hybrid system, plush interior, and cutting-edge features make it a marvel on paper, but families who travel long distances or crave practicality may find themselves thinking twice.
