Chery Tiggo 9 Pro specs: one generation, two 1.5 i AT PHEV versions
Generation 1 of the Chery Tiggo 9 Pro started on 1 September 2025 and has no stop date in the data. Body type is SUV 5-doors. Modification count is 2. There is no restyling listed and no second generation, so a “which generation” decision does not exist for this model.
Generation 1 of the Chery Tiggo 9 Pro started on 1 September 2025 and has no stop date in the data. Body type is SUV 5-doors. Modification count is 2. There is no restyling listed and no second generation, so a “which generation” decision does not exist for this model. Both versions are named 1.5 i AT PHEV; they are not separated by horsepower (both 143 hp / 105 kW) and must be told apart by drive: AWD versus FWD.
Shared hardware on both 1.5 i AT PHEV cars: Plug-in, 1499 cm³, 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), compression 14.5, bore × stroke 92 x 72, fuel 95, peak 143 hp at 5200 rpm, 220 Nm at 2500 rpm, Automatic, 3 gears, independent spring front, independent spring rear, Ventilated disc front, Disc rear. Kerb weight is identical: 2308 kg. Top speed is identical: 180 km/h.
What is not shared is the point of the purchase: drive, 0–100, mixed consumption, tank, and gross weight.
Generations: what generation 1 actually changed
There is only 1 generation. It did not replace an earlier Tiggo 9 Pro in this dataset, so there is no intra-model generation-to-generation arithmetic (no older hp, no older mass, no older 0–100). Within generation 1 the factory split the line into two 1.5 i AT PHEV cars that keep the same engine card and split the chassis by AWD versus FWD.
That split is the whole generation story: same 143 hp, same 220 Nm, same 2308 kg kerb, different drive, different 0–100, different mixed figure, different gross mass, tank measured only on AWD.
Engine specs and horsepower: the two 1.5 i AT PHEV versions
Displacement is 1499 cm³ on both, so specific output is 143 ÷ 1.499 ≈ 95.4 hp per litre (105 kW on 1.499 L ≈ 70.0 kW per litre). Torque density is 220 ÷ 1.499 ≈ 146.8 Nm per litre. Those ratios are the same on AWD and FWD because the engine line is the same.
| Version (exact name) | Drive | hp / kW @ rpm | Nm @ rpm | cm³ | Fuel | Cylinders / layout | Boost | Gearbox / gears |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 i AT PHEV | AWD | 143 / 105 @ 5200 | 220 @ 2500 | 1499 | 95 | 4 / Inline | Turbo | Automatic / 3 |
| 1.5 i AT PHEV | FWD | 143 / 105 @ 5200 | 220 @ 2500 | 1499 | 95 | 4 / Inline | Turbo | Automatic / 3 |
Engine type on both rows is Plug-in. Position is Front, transverse. Injection is Direct injection (direct). Compression is 14.5. Bore and stroke are 92 x 72. None of those fields differ between the two 1.5 i AT PHEV cars.
Power-to-weight is also the same: 2308 kg ÷ 143 hp ≈ 16.14 kg per hp, or 143 ÷ 2308 ≈ 0.0620 hp per kg. The AWD car does not buy more horsepower or a lighter kerb; it buys AWD and a different 0–100 and gross-weight card.
Performance and economy: what 0–100 and mixed consumption actually buy
1.5 i AT PHEV AWD: 0–100 in 5.4 s, top speed 180 km/h, mixed 1.7, city not measured, highway not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured.
1.5 i AT PHEV FWD: 0–100 in 8.9 s, top speed 180 km/h, mixed 0.5, city not measured, highway not measured, CO2 not measured, eco class not measured.
Arithmetic on those figures:
- 0–100 gap: 8.9 − 5.4 = 3.5 s. FWD needs about 8.9 ÷ 5.4 ≈ 1.65 times as long to 100 km/h.
- Top speed gap: 180 − 180 = 0. Both versions stop at the same 180 km/h, so AWD does not buy a higher limiter in this data.
- Mixed gap: 1.7 − 0.5 = 1.2. AWD’s listed mixed figure is 1.7 ÷ 0.5 = 3.4 times the FWD mixed figure. City and highway remain not measured on both, so the mixed column is the only consumption comparison available.
If the buying question is “which 1.5 i AT PHEV is the quicker car to 100 km/h,” the answer is AWD at 5.4 s. If the question is “which listed mixed figure is lower,” the answer is FWD at 0.5. Those two answers point at opposite versions; the data does not contain a single winner on both axes.
Dimensions, weight, tank, clearance: PHEV weight and what is not measured
Exterior dimensions (length, width, height, wheelbase) are not measured for either 1.5 i AT PHEV. Ground clearance is not measured. Wheel sizes are not measured. A size comparison with another model is not possible from this dataset.
What is measured:
| Version | Drive | Kerb, kg | Gross, kg | Payload (gross − kerb), kg | Tank, L | Clearance | Wheels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 i AT PHEV | AWD | 2308 | 2886 | 578 | 70 | not measured | not measured |
| 1.5 i AT PHEV | FWD | 2308 | 2722 | 414 | not measured | not measured | not measured |
Kerb is 2308 kg on both, so PHEV weight as a kerb figure does not choose a version. Gross mass does: AWD is 2886 − 2722 = 164 kg heavier on the plated maximum, which is exactly the payload gap (578 − 414 = 164 kg). AWD therefore buys 164 kg more legal load at the same 2308 kg kerb.
Tank: 70 litres on 1.5 i AT PHEV AWD; not measured on 1.5 i AT PHEV FWD. That is not a proof that FWD has no tank; it is a missing measurement.
Gross-to-kerb ratio: AWD 2886 ÷ 2308 ≈ 1.25; FWD 2722 ÷ 2308 ≈ 1.18. AWD is allowed about 25% above kerb, FWD about 18%.
Which version to choose: 1.5 i AT PHEV AWD vs 1.5 i AT PHEV FWD
There is no generation ladder and no restyle. Both cars are generation 1, SUV 5-doors, from 1 September 2025, both 1.5 i AT PHEV, both 143 hp, both 220 Nm, both 1499 cm³ Plug-in Turbo Inline 4, both Automatic 3, both 2308 kg kerb, both 180 km/h.
Choose 1.5 i AT PHEV AWD when the numbers that matter are 5.4 s to 100 km/h, AWD, 2886 kg gross, 578 kg payload, and a measured 70-litre tank. That version does not add horsepower and does not cut kerb weight; it adds drive and 164 kg of plated capacity, and it cuts 3.5 s off the FWD 0–100 time. Mixed consumption on this version is 1.7.
Choose 1.5 i AT PHEV FWD when the numbers that matter are the 0.5 mixed figure and a lower gross mass of 2722 kg. That version keeps the same 143 hp and the same 2308 kg kerb. It gives up AWD, gives up 3.5 s to 100 km/h (8.9 s), and gives up 164 kg of payload (414 kg). Tank is not measured.
What extra money would buy is not in this dataset: there is no price for Bangladesh, Pakistan, South Africa, or anywhere else. The only “extra” that can be counted is extra seconds, extra kilograms, extra mixed units, and the presence or absence of AWD.
If 0–100 and payload dominate, 1.5 i AT PHEV AWD is the version the numbers support. If the listed mixed figure dominates and FWD is acceptable, 1.5 i AT PHEV FWD is the version the numbers support. Clearance, wheels, dimensions, city mpg, highway mpg, CO2, and eco class cannot break the tie: they are not measured on either car.
