TIGGO 9 and Arrizo 8: Plug-In Hybrids Made for the UAE

Dubai (Web Desk)::In the global conversation on sustainable mobility, Plug-In Hybrids (PHEVs) are emerging as the smart, practical bridge to a greener future, especially in regions like the Middle East, where extreme weather, long distances, and evolving infrastructure shape driving realities.

Built for the Region 

Plug-in hybrids offer drivers the best of both worlds: an electric motor for clean, quiet urban commutes, paired with a combustion engine that provides reassurance for longer drives. This specific design is particularly well-suited for the UAE, where daily commuting to work between emirates and weekend road trips often stretch across hundreds of kilometers, and hot summers push cars to their limits.
Chery’s new Plug-In Hybrid line-up has been engineered with these conditions in mind with both, motor power and engine power, in addition to a three-speed hybrid transmission and engine outputs designed to thrive in high temperatures. Moreover, the TIGGO 9 Plug-In Hybrid SUV is equipped with an advanced dual-motor hybrid system delivering 610 Hp and 920 Nm torque. The result is cars that feel just as confident, whether navigating downtown Abu Dhabi or gliding through desert highways.

Performance Meets Practicality

In today’s world, modern drivers value efficiency as much as performance. Equipped with a high-capacity 34.46kWh battery, the TIGGO 9 Plug-In Hybrid delivers an impressive range of up to 1,200 km on a full tank and charge, giving drivers unmatched flexibility to switch between electric, hybrid, or sport modes. The Arrizo 8 Plug-In Hybrid, meanwhile, combines sleek sedan styling with the same hybrid intelligence, offering a refined balance of efficiency and driving pleasure. Inside the cabin, both models underscore comfort and safety, with highly attractive features including up to 10 airbags, a premium sound system with up to 14 speakers in the TIGGO 9 Plug-In Hybrid, and quiet cabin technology for a luxury cocoon feel.

A Lifestyle Fit

In daily life, these cars adapt seamlessly. Electric power makes city commutes silent and stress-free, while hybrid modes ensure drivers don’t have to compromise on range during long drives.
For families and professionals alike, the convenience is undeniable: low fuel costs, reduced emissions, and peace of mind in every journey.
Driving Toward Net Zero The UAE has set bold sustainability targets with its Net Zero 2050 strategy, and plug-in hybrids represent a crucial stepping stone toward full electrification. By easing the transition for consumers who want lower emissions without sacrificing practicality, Chery’s Plug-In Hybrid models show how innovation can accelerate change.

“Plug-in hybrids offer a smooth driving experience to consumers in the Middle East,” said Zaher Sabbagh, Director of Chery UAE. “They empower drivers, offering them the confidence, flexibility, and performance they seek while aligning with the nation’s environmental goals. The TIGGO 9 Plug-In Hybrid and Arrizo 8 Plug-In Hybrid are a true statement of how sustainability and lifestyle can move forward together.”

The Road Ahead

As infrastructure continues to expand and consumers grow more environmentally conscious, plug-in hybrids are poised to play a defining role in the UAE’s mobility future. With vehicles like the TIGGO 9 Plug-In Hybrid and Arrizo 8 Plug-In Hybrid, Chery UAE is demonstrating that sustainable mobility can be as aspirational as it is practical, built for global markets, yet still tailored for the Middle East’s unique roads.
