Chery Master Pakistan has rolled off the locally assembled Tiggo 7 PHEV, adding a third plug-in hybrid SUV to its domestic production lineup and further expanding its footprint in Pakistan’s growing new energy vehicle market.
The rollout, announced on June 25 in Karachi, means the company now locally assembles three PHEV SUVs — the Tiggo 7 PHEV, Tiggo 8 PHEV and Tiggo 9 PHEV — spanning the C, D and E-SUV segments respectively. The company describes this as one of the most extensive locally assembled plug-in hybrid SUV portfolios currently available in Pakistan.
Production Milestone and Delivery Timeline
The Tiggo 7 PHEV line-off follows the earlier rollout of the Tiggo 8 PHEV and Tiggo 9 PHEV, which were put into production within five days of each other. Chery Master Pakistan said customer deliveries for those models were completed ahead of committed timelines, and it aims to replicate that track record with the Tiggo 7 PHEV.
The company has also moved to double-shift operations and increased overall production capacity to accommodate deliveries for existing customers and new bookings placed during June across its full model range. The move comes as the Pakistani auto sector monitors potential policy and tax changes that could affect vehicle pricing in the near term.
Pricing and Availability
The Tiggo 7 PHEV carries an introductory ex-factory price of PKR 9,499,000, with a booking amount of PKR 1,500,000. Test drives and bookings are open at Chery dealerships across the country.
Specifications and Technology
The Tiggo 7 PHEV is powered by Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) technology, producing 342 horsepower and 525 Nm of torque. The vehicle offers up to 90 km of pure electric driving range and a combined range of up to 1,200 km on a full tank and full charge, making it geared toward both urban commuters and long-distance travellers.
On the safety front, the SUV comes equipped with eight airbags, Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and carries a five-star safety rating.
Executive Comment
Samir Malik, CEO of Master Auto Engineering, said the milestone reflects the company’s long-term commitment to the Pakistani market. “The successful rollout of Tiggo 8 PHEV, Tiggo 9 PHEV and now Tiggo 7 PHEV reflects our ability to combine global technology, manufacturing quality and customer value with rapid execution,” he said. “We have increased production capacity and moved to double-shift operations to facilitate deliveries for existing customers as well as new bookings placed during June.”
