The Tiggo 7 PHEV will be offered as a locally assembled (CKD) model from the outset, with deliveries targeted within June 2026, subject to booking volumes. The launch comes at a time of rising fuel prices in Pakistan, with the company positioning the vehicle as a technologically advanced and cost-efficient mobility solution.
Fuel Efficiency and Cost Savings
Chery Master Pakistan stated that the Tiggo 7 PHEV can reduce fuel costs by over 70% compared to conventional petrol SUVs when used in pure electric mode for daily driving. The vehicle also contributes to lower fuel imports and reduced dependence on imported energy, aligning with national energy security goals.

Powertrain and Performance
Built on Chery’s fifth-generation Super Hybrid architecture—described as the world’s best plug-in hybrid technology, engineered as a purpose-built platform—the vehicle combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an 18.3 kWh battery and dedicated hybrid transmission. The system produces 255 kW (342 horsepower) and 525 Nm of torque, with a claimed 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 8.4 seconds.
The vehicle offers over 90 kilometres of pure electric driving range and a combined range of over 1,200 kilometres, positioning it as a dual-use solution for both daily commuting and long-distance travel.
Global Recognition and Local Infrastructure
The Tiggo 7 PHEV is among Chery’s highest-volume global models. The Tiggo 7 series has remained one of China’s best-selling SUVs for four consecutive years and stands among the most exported models in Chery’s global portfolio. Globally, Chery remains China’s largest automotive exporter for over two decades, with operations in more than 120 countries and a global user base exceeding 19 million.
In Pakistan, the brand operates through Master Auto Engineering, part of the Master Group with over 60 years of industrial and automotive experience. The company has established dealership and aftersales infrastructure nationwide prior to launch, with test drives available across its network.
Safety and Features
The vehicle is equipped with eight airbags and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) , along with features including a 24.6-inch dual display, Sony audio system, and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability.
Pricing and Booking
Pricing and booking details are expected to be announced separately on April 10. Management indicated that early deliveries are being prioritized to pre-empt potential changes in government policy affecting hybrid vehicles. With plug-in hybrid options still limited in the segment, the Tiggo 7 PHEV enters the market as a technologically advanced and cost-efficient alternative to conventional petrol and hybrid SUVs.
