Verdict
The Chery Tiggo 9 costs RM166,800 to the Jetour T2’s RM156,800, and the RM10,000 gap brings seven seats, 251 hp and 390 Nm instead of five seats, 241 hp and 375 Nm. Its 448-litre boot grows to 2,065 litres with seats folded, while the T2 lists 580 litres. The T2 is the lower-cost, wider and taller choice, with a 70-litre tank and front foglamps. For Malaysian families needing the third row and stronger standard equipment, the Tiggo 9 is the more useful buy.
Pick the Chery Tiggo 9 if you need seven seats, stronger 251 hp/390 Nm outputs and features such as auto parking, a head-up display and a powered boot.
Pick the Jetour T2 if five seats are enough and you want to save RM10,000 while gaining a 70-litre fuel tank, front foglamps and a 580-litre boot.
