Chery prepares the launch of the Jaecoo 9 in Europe, a luxury SUV with six seats and 469 horsepower that promises up to 1,400 kilometers of combined range. The model is presented as an alternative to heavyweights like the BMW X7 or Mercedes GLS, combining electrified mechanics with an interior full of screens and massage systems for passengers.
The technical formula: a plug-in hybrid with 469 HP and two motors 🚗
Under the hood, the Jaecoo 9 mounts a plug-in hybrid system that combines a 2.0-liter thermal engine with two electric units. Total power reaches 469 horsepower, while the battery allows an electric range close to 200 kilometers. The combined figure of 1,400 kilometers is achieved by adding the fuel tank and the electric charge. Inside, the driver finds a dashboard dominated by a 15.6-inch central screen and another for the passenger, as well as seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions.
Massage, screens, and let's see who pays the insurance 😅
The Jaecoo 9 arrives with seats that give massages, screens for each passenger, and a trunk that seems designed to carry a month's worth of groceries. All very cute, until you call the insurance and they tell you the policy price is almost that of a small car. But hey, at least you can stretch out in the six seats while waiting for the tow truck, because with that combined range you might even make it to the next charging station.
