Verdict

The Tiggo 9 makes a clear case for buyers who specifically want a seven-seat petrol SUV with AWD, 256 PS and 390 Nm. But it is not the lowest-priced D-segment SUV: the Proton X90, Jetour VT9, Leapmotor C10 and Chery Tiggo 8 all cost less. Its RM166,800 price sits close to the Mazda CX-8 at RM165,360 and below the Omoda Jaecoo C9 at RM168,800.
