**Key Details:**

- The vehicle features a lidar sensor on the roof, suggesting it will be equipped with the Falcon 700 or higher-level driver assistance system (compared to the current Falcon 500)
- Exterior design closely mirrors the new Tiggo 9, including front and rear bumpers, headlight styling, and grille design, with dual charging ports indicating hybrid powertrain
- Interior layout matches the new Tiggo 9 with an extended center display, island layout, and a sensor array above the steering wheel for driver fatigue detection
- Suspension maintains the current setup with MacPherson struts at the front and multi-link at the rear
- Powertrain uses a plug-in hybrid system with a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor, delivering 381 horsepower and 610 newton-meters of torque

**Why It Matters:** The addition of lidar technology signals Chery’s commitment to enhancing autonomous driving capabilities in the Tiggo 9 lineup, positioning it more competitively in the premium SUV segment with advanced safety and driver assistance features.
