Chery is Launching Its Most Affordable PHEV SUV in Pakistan

Chery Master Pakistan is set to introduce the Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV in Pakistan on April 10, making its entry into the country’s C-segment plug-in hybrid SUV space.

The company is expanding its locally assembled new energy vehicle lineup and aims to strengthen its position in the growing SUV market.

The Tiggo 7 PHEV will be offered as a completely knocked down (CKD) model from launch. Deliveries are expected to begin by June 2026, depending on booking volumes.

Powertrain and Performance

The vehicle is built on Chery’s fifth-generation Super Hybrid architecture. It combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an 18.3 kWh battery and a dedicated hybrid transmission.

The system produces 255 kW (342 horsepower) and 525 Nm of torque. The company claims the SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds.

Range and Efficiency

According to the company, the Tiggo 7 PHEV offers over 90 kilometres of pure electric driving range and a combined range exceeding 1,200 kilometres.

It is positioned as a dual-use vehicle for daily commuting and long-distance travel. The company said the vehicle can reduce fuel costs by more than 70% compared to conventional petrol SUVs when driven in electric mode for everyday use.

Features and Safety

The Tiggo 7 PHEV is equipped with eight airbags and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Other features include a 24.6-inch dual display, a Sony audio system, and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability.

The launch comes as fuel prices continue to rise in Pakistan. Plug-in hybrid options remain limited in this segment, positioning the Tiggo 7 PHEV as an alternative to traditional petrol and hybrid SUVs.

Master Auto Engineering, part of the Master Group, manages Chery’s operations in Pakistan. The company has established a dealership and after-sales infrastructure nationwide, with test drives available across its network.

Pricing and booking details will be announced on April 10. The company indicated that early deliveries are being prioritised ahead of potential government policy changes affecting hybrid vehicles.
