Key Data: ICE Vehicles Still Dominate the Market

According to data cited by Chery, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are projected to account for 52.1% of China’s total vehicle sales in 2025, and an even higher share of 60%–70% in overseas markets, highlighting their strategic global importance.

Strategic Foundation: Dual-Track Approach for ICE and EV Without Following Trends

As a cornerstone of Chery’s “New ICE” strategy, the Tiggo 9 plays a critical role in the brand’s push into the midsize SUV segment, signaling Chery’s firm commitment to advancing ICE technology and its differentiated path of rejecting a blanket shift to electrification.
