Sitting right at the very top of the local Tiggo lineup, Chery Tiggo 9 is a massive 7-seater SUV that brings a fresh design language to the family. With an estimated price tag below RM189,000, it isn’t just larger and sleeker on the outside; it packs a cabin layout that completely transforms the premium driving experience.

If you’re tired of generic vehicle cockpits, here are 5 high-end cabin perks that prove the Tiggo 9 is a true luxury flagship:


1. A Standalone 15.6-Inch 2.5K Screen Powered By A Snapdragon Chip

Silky-smooth tablet mechanics that finally step away from the conjoined-screen trend. Instead of the standard continuous glass panel, the Tiggo 9 separates its screens entirely. 


You get a massive, ultra-crisp 15.6-inch 2.5K central tablet that handles your navigation and settings, sitting beautifully alongside a separate 10.25-inch digital meter cluster. Best of all? The center screen runs on a high-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, meaning zero lag when jumping between wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.


2. A 14-Speaker Sony System (With Speakers Built Directly Into Your Headrest!)

Complete, first-class audio immersion that blocks out the entire outside world. Most SUVs in this price bracket give you a standard 6 or 8-speaker setup. The Tiggo 9 bumps that up to a premium 14-speaker Sony sound system. 


For a true luxury touch, Chery has actually integrated custom speakers directly into the driver’s headrest. Pair that with the car's built-in acoustic double-glazed glass, and you get an ultra-quiet, concert-hall experience on long highway hauls.


3. Power-Adjustable Steering Wheel (A Total Rarity Under RM189k)

A mechanical flex usually gatekept by cars costing double the price. Think about the last time you adjusted a steering wheel, you probably had to reach down, pull a manual plastic lever, and physically yank it into place. 


The Tiggo 9 replaces that with a fully electronic power-adjustable steering column. It’s a minor, incredibly premium detail that you almost never see on an internal combustion engine car below the RM200k mark.


4. Seat Massagers & A "Boss Switch"

Pure, unadulterated executive chauffeur energy for the front and second rows. Long family road trips just got a lot more comfortable. The front synthetic leather seats come fully equipped with heating, ventilation, and a built-in massage function (featuring a 10-way powered adjustment with memory for the driver). 


CariCarz-CarzAutomedia-SN-Chery-Tiggo-9-Launched-Malaysia-Studio-45.jpgCariCarz-CarzAutomedia-SN-Chery-Tiggo-9-Launched-Malaysia-Studio-44.jpg


In a stunning premium move, even the second-row seats come fully equipped with ventilation and heating functions, a comfort tier usually completely gatekept by high-end luxury MPVs.

Plus, the front passenger seat features an outer "boss switch" toggle, a practical feature popularized by luxury executive sedans like the Toyota Camry, allowing the driver or second-row passenger to effortlessly slide the front seat forward for maximum legroom.


5. B-Pillar Air Vents, Roof Ducts, & A Cooled Console Box

CariCarz-CarzAutomedia-SN-Chery-Tiggo-9-Launched-Malaysia-Studio-71.jpgCariCarz-CarzAutomedia-SN-Chery-Tiggo-9-Launched-Malaysia-Studio-118.jpg


The ultimate defense system against the brutal Malaysian afternoon heat. Rear passenger comfort is usually an afterthought in many 7-seaters, but the Tiggo 9 takes climate control seriously. 


Aside from the standard dual-zone automatic AC up front, second-row occupants get dedicated air vents mounted on both the center console and the side B-pillars, plus manual pull-up sunshades. 


The third-row passengers get their own dedicated vents mounted on the roof. And for the final touch? The central armrest console box features an integrated cooling function to keep your drinks chilled while you drive!

CariCarz-CarzAutomedia-SN-Chery-Tiggo-9-Launched-Malaysia-Studio-17.jpgCariCarz-CarzAutomedia-SN-Chery-Tiggo-9-Launched-Malaysia-Studio-9.jpg


For an estimated price under RM189,000, the Chery Tiggo 9 is making a lot of premium European alternatives look seriously overpriced. By moving away from copy-paste conjoined screen layouts and putting real money into high-end mechanical details, like power steering adjustment, headrest audio, and multi-zone pillar ventilation, Chery has created a space that genuinely feels like a luxury executive lounge. If you want a massive 7-seater fortress that prioritizes cabin refinement without crossing the RM200k barrier, this flagship demands to be on your shortlist.
