KARACHI (Special Correspondent): Chery Master Pakistan has commenced deliveries of its Tiggo 8 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) to pre-registered customers, as per the April 2026 delivery timeline, the company said on Friday.

The Tiggo 8 PHEV was opened for advance bookings in January 2026 at an introductory price of Rs10,999,000 but following the strong demand, the price was revised to Rs11,299,000 effective February 1, 2026.

The early rollout marks a key milestone for Chery Master Pakistan, reflecting execution on committed delivery timelines and readiness across production, supply chain, and aftersales infrastructure. The company said the deliveries are aligned with its “HELLO CHERY” customer-first approach, focused on technology-led ownership and service readiness from day one.

Positioned as Pakistan’s only 7-seater plug-in hybrid in the D-SUV segment, the Tiggo 8 PHEV is powered by Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) technology. The vehicle produces 496 horsepower and 735 Nm of torque, offering an electric-only range of up to 90 kilometres and a combined driving range of approximately 1,200 kilometres.

The SUV integrates a range of premium and technology features, including a three-row cabin configuration, advanced infotainment system, and Sony sound system. Interior highlights include a “Queen Co-Pilot” zero-gravity passenger seat with massage functionality, heating and ventilation options, and a cabin with 78.9% soft-wrap materials. A driver-focused audio system is also included.

On safety, the Tiggo 8 PHEV carries a five-star global safety rating and is equipped with 10 airbags along with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), positioning it among the more feature-rich offerings in its category.

To support deliveries, the company has established a nationwide 3S dealership network comprising 10 operational outlets, with plans to expand to 20 locations by 2027.

Chery entered the Pakistani market through a partnership with Master Auto Engineering, part of the Master Group, which has over six decades of manufacturing experience in the country. The collaboration agreement was signed in May 2025.
Globally, Chery operates in more than 120 countries with a user base exceeding 18.5 million and has remained China’s largest automobile exporter for 23 consecutive years.

The early deliveries come as Pakistan’s auto market increasingly shifts towards hybrid and electrified mobility, driven by rising fuel costs and evolving consumer demand.
