Jaecoo J6 Electric SUV Officially Launched in Pakistan as the ‘Bad Boys’ Ride

The five-month-old alliance between Chery International and Hyundai Nishat’s NextGen Auto has produced its first retail model for Pakistan: the battery-powered Jaecoo J6 SUV. The launch signals real headway for the partnership, which Chery forged in February 2025 after ending a long relationship with Ghandhara Automotive.

This launch follows a significant shake-up earlier this year. In February 2025, Chery ended its long-time collaboration with Ghandhara Automotive and signed a new agreement with NextGen Auto, a subsidiary of Hyundai Nishat Motors. This alliance marked Chery’s push to introduce electric and hybrid models from its Omoda and Jaecoo sub-brands, both specializing in New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), including Battery EVs (BEVs), Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs), and Fuel Cell EVs (FCEVs).

Dimensions

The Jaecoo J6 measures 4,406 mm long, 1,910 mm wide and 1,715 mm high, riding on a 2,715-mm wheelbase with 195 mm of ground clearance. Two trims use 225/60 R18 tyres, while the range-topping version upgrades to 225/55 R19 rubber.

Exterior highlights include matrix adaptive headlights with high-beam control, LED DRLs and rear lamps, follow-me-home lighting, automatic headlights, heated and folding mirrors with indicators, panoramic sunroof, roof rails, rear fog lamp, NFC key access, and an electric charging port cover.

Safety-focused touches like the emergency stop signal, LED high-mount brake light, and rear-view mirror floor lights round out the exterior package.
