AI generated from our expert reviews

If you need a large family SUV, both the Chery Tiggo 9 and the Hyundai Santa Fe provide pretty good all-round visibility and a totally flat floor for your middle-row passengers. The Tiggo 9 brings more power and gives you more luggage space once you fold the third-row seats away. However, you will find more space for grown-ups in the Santa Fe's third row. When you head onto winding roads, the Santa Fe keeps body lean well contained, whereas the Tiggo 9 leans a lot in the bends.
