KARACHI — Chery Master Pakistan has officially rolled off its first locally assembled Tiggo 7 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). This strategic move introduces a third advanced hybrid option to the company’s local production lines. By expanding its assembly operations, the brand is actively strengthening its footprint in the country’s fast-growing new energy vehicle market.
The launch represents a major step forward for local car buyers who face volatile fuel expenses. According to recent market insights published by Dawn News, the Tiggo 7 PHEV aims to provide a practical solution to the country’s ongoing fuel crisis by lowering standard running costs significantly. It enters a crowded crossover market with a distinct competitive edge in fuel economy.
Key Takeaways
- Triple Threat Lineup: Chery Master Pakistan now produces three locally assembled PHEVs, covering the C, D, and E-SUV market categories.
- Rapid Production Scale: The rollout follows the quick back-to-back assembly lines of the larger Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 9 PHEV models.
- Fuel Import Reduction: These plug-in hybrids can drive over 90 kilometers on pure electric power, heavily reducing daily fuel costs.
- Strong Local Backing: Production is supported by the Master Group, which leverages over 60 years of industrial manufacturing experience in Pakistan.
Complete Market Coverage for Eco-Conscious Buyers
With the rollout of the Tiggo 7 PHEV, Chery Master Pakistan now offers a highly diverse lineup of locally assembled hybrid SUVs. Their current production vehicles include the five-seater Tiggo 7, the seven-seater Tiggo 8, and the premium flagship Tiggo 9 PHEV. These three unique vehicles span across the C, D, and E-SUV market categories, respectively.
This diverse selection gives the company one of the most comprehensive hybrid portfolios in the country. Car buyers can easily choose a size and price point that fits their family’s needs. According to data tracked by PakWheels, this systematic expansion allows the brand to capture different layers of consumer demand while moving past traditional petrol options.
Speed and Reliability in Assembly Plants
The addition of the Tiggo 7 PHEV follows an impressively fast manufacturing timeline set by the auto assembler earlier this year. The company successfully rolled out its premium Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 9 models within five days of each other. Furthermore, the brand commenced official customer deliveries well ahead of its original promised schedules.
Company executives state that this latest production milestone highlights their focus on localized manufacturing capabilities. The rapid assembly timeline proves that the local plant is fully prepared for high-tech green vehicles. It also reassures waiting customers that the company can deliver advanced technology without unexpected factory delays.
The newly introduced five-seater SUV is built on Chery’s modern 5th Generation Super Hybrid architecture. This purpose-built system pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with an 18.3 kilowatt-hour battery pack. Together, they generate an impressive 342 horsepower, delivering sports-car acceleration alongside excellent commuter efficiency.
For daily city trips, drivers can travel more than 90 kilometers without burning a single drop of fuel. When embarking on long family road trips, the combined gas and electric range extends to over 1,200 kilometers. This hybrid system eliminates any range anxiety while shielding vehicle owners from the rising costs at traditional fuel stations.
Premium Features Meet Sustainable Design
Beyond its efficient hybrid powertrain, the vehicle comes packed with high-end cabin technology. The interior features a massive 24.6-inch dual curved digital display that acts as the driver’s main control hub. It also includes heated and ventilated seats, a premium Sony audio system, and a panoramic sunroof.
Safety remains a top focus for the local assembler as well. The car offers eight standard safety airbags and an advanced Level 2 Driver Assistance System to protect passengers in heavy city traffic. Additionally, the built-in Vehicle-to-Load system allows owners to power external electronics directly from the car’s main hybrid battery.
Chery Master Pakistan
Chery Master Pakistan is a joint venture between China’s leading automobile exporter, Chery, and Pakistan’s Master Group (through Master Auto Engineering). It assembles and markets a range of modern SUVs, with a strong focus on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and new energy vehicles tailored to Pakistani conditions.
The company has rapidly expanded its local CKD (completely knocked down) production, recently achieving the milestone of launching three locally assembled PHEV SUV models — including the Tiggo 7, Tiggo 8, and Tiggo 9 — within just a few months, creating Pakistan’s largest CKD PHEV SUV lineup.
Backed by Master Group’s decades of automotive expertise and Chery’s global innovation in safety, hybrid technology, and intelligent mobility, Chery Master Pakistan is driving the country’s shift toward premium, efficient, and future-ready vehicles, supported by an expanding dealership and service network.
