Reports of Chery’s arrival in Pakistan have been circulating on the internet for some time now, and the company has finally affirmed via a recent Facebook post that it will arrive in Pakistan soon.
Ghandhara Nissan Limited (GNL) had recently been in talks with the Chinese automaker, Chery Automobile Company Ltd. Additionally, it has been reported that the first vehicle that it will launch in Pakistan is the Tiggo 8, which is a midsize crossover SUV. It is likely to instantly compete against the Toyota Fortuner and the Kia Sorento.

عام آدمی ابھی تک چائنہ موٹر سائیکل پر ہی گزارا کرے ✌️✌️
Why every company seems to be interested in crossover or SUV? For less than 1% population. I clicked on this news because I was expecting some good news but rather its quite disappointing.
Look at the roads, loaded with SUVs,
Kia Sportage success has given them direction
کیونکہ یہ ایک پرسنٹ لوگ ننانوے پرسنٹ دولت کے مالک ہیں
Kion k choti gari mein profit margin itna nahi jitna suv aur cross over mein hai. Itni companies aanay k bawajood abhi tak demand poori nahi ho rhi sab ko lagta hai k asal juice bari gari mein hai. Jab wo market saturated ho jai gi tab ye sedan ki taraf aayrn gay aur us k baad choti gari mein.
Despite price increases, sales are going high for Auto Makers. Moreover SUVs worth 5 million are selling like hot cakes. Still, buying a new car is becoming more difficult for common man and he has to look for used cars 15 to 20 years old to fit the budget.
This clearly shows that rich are getting richer while the common man is getting poorer.
