Chery Towing Hitch Calculator: Tiggo 2 to Tiggo 9, Sorted by Market
Chery has quietly become one of the biggest exporters of crossovers on the planet, and the Tiggo family alone spans a compact runabout up to a genuinely capable flagship. Add the Omoda and Jaecoo sub-brands sharing the same underlying engineering, and you have a lineup that deserves better than a single guessed number. Pick a model or decode your VIN, and get a payload-first six-check verdict instead.

Why one badge covers three different-feeling towing stories
If you already have the keys in hand, checking Chery towing capacity by VIN gets you past the model-name guesswork entirely, since the VIN carries the exact engine and drivetrain combination that actually sets your certified figure. The Tiggo 2 sits at the compact end with a modest rating, the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 occupy the family-crossover middle ground where most buyers actually shop, and the Tiggo 9 tops the range as the genuinely capable flagship. The Arrizo sedan line, sensibly, was never given a hitch at all.
Compact to flagship
Tiggo 2 through Tiggo 9, towing figures scaling from a modest 800 kg up to 2,000 kg on the flagship hybrid AWD.
The sportier sibling
Omoda 5 carries a competitive 1,300 kg figure with a more design-led interior than the equivalent Tiggo.
The rugged-styled sibling
Jaecoo J7 pushes to 1,500 kg on AWD, positioned as the outdoorsy option in the family.
No invented numbers
Arrizo sedans get an honest not-rated flag rather than a fabricated towing figure.

VIN structure (ISO 3779)
The 17-position VIN carries WMI, VDS and VIS segments that encode the model, engine and equipment fitment used to look up your true towing figure.
Payload-first logic

Frequently asked questions
What is the Chery Tiggo 8 towing capacity?
The Tiggo 8 is rated to tow up to 1,600 kg braked on properly equipped AWD variants, a strong figure for a three-row family crossover. Front-wheel-drive variants carry a lower figure, so drivetrain matters as much as the model badge.
What is the Chery Tiggo 9 towing capacity?
The Tiggo 9, Chery's flagship, carries a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg braked on its hybrid AWD variant, the highest figure in the current Tiggo range.
Do the Omoda 5 and Jaecoo J7 have a towing capacity?
Yes. The Omoda 5 is rated to tow up to 1,300 kg and the Jaecoo J7 carries a rating up to 1,500 kg on AWD variants, both sharing underlying Chery engineering.
Does my Chery VIN tell me my exact towing capacity?
Yes, meaningfully. The VIN encodes model, engine, model year and factory options including tow bar fitment, which together determine your exact certified figure rather than a general model-wide number.
