Chery’s Big Comeback: Local Assembly of Tiggo-7 and Tiggo-9 SUVs to Begin in Pakistan by January 2026

There are big games on in 2026. Your observation can be fired with a new shape of car. Are you ready to see a brand-new car design hit the roads in Pakistan? It looks like 2026 is going to be an exciting year for car lovers! Chery is making a big comeback, and this could shake up Pakistan’s growing SUV market. Hope to see more frequent choices, better prices, and top-quality cars.

Chinese car company Chery, working together with Master Group, has officially announced that it will start making its Tiggo-7 and Tiggo-9 SUVs in Pakistan. The production will begin in January 2026 at a brand-new, 60-acre high-tech factory.

A $150 Million Bet on Pakistan’s Auto Future

Chery isn’t just dipping its toes; it’s diving in. The company has committed a USD 150 million investment to establish a full-scale local assembly plant under the Master Chery joint venture.

By shifting from imported units (CBUs) to locally assembled SUVs (CKD), Chery aims to make its cars more affordable, while strengthening Pakistan’s automotive ecosystem with jobs, skills, and technology transfer.

For car buyers, that means one thing: premium SUVs without the painful import markup.

Meet the Stars: Tiggo-7 and Tiggo-9

If you’ve spotted a Chery Tiggo on global car blogs, you already know what the buzz is about.

Tiggo-7 is a sporty, compact SUV that blends comfort and performance with a modern, tech-rich cabin ideal for city driving and weekend getaways.

Tiggo-9, on the other hand, is the flagship a large, luxury SUV with bold styling, plush interiors, and advanced driver-assist tech aimed at premium buyers.

For now, Chery has confirmed that the Tiggo-9’s petrol (ICE) version will be the first to roll out locally. The company has hinted at introducing hybrid (PHEV) options later, but those plans are still under wraps.

Either way, both models will be fine-tuned for Pakistani roads and climate, ensuring smoother rides and better durability in local conditions.

Reaching You Faster: 10 New Dealerships Nationwide

Chery isn’t stopping at manufacturing; it’s expanding access.

The brand plans to launch 10 new dealerships across major cities, including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and Multan.

This means easier test drives, faster service, and genuine after-sales support, something Pakistani buyers often miss from newer brands.

With a growing network and locally produced parts, Chery is clearly here to stay.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just about two new SUVs; it’s about confidence in Pakistan’s potential.

Chery’s local assembly plan will:

• Create hundreds of skilled jobs,

• Strengthen local suppliers, and

• Contribute to industrial growth in Punjab and beyond.

For Pakistani families, it could mean modern SUVs at lower prices, with reliable local service and better spare part availability, a win-win for both consumers and the economy.

The Road Ahead

With production kicking off in early 2026, all eyes are now on how Chery performs against established rivals like Kia, Hyundai, and MG.

If the brand delivers on its promises of quality, value, and after-sales support, it could easily become Pakistan’s next big SUV success story.

The countdown has begun, and the roads of 2026 might just belong to Tiggo-7 and Tiggo-9.

DrivePK’s Verdict

Chery’s return isn’t just another corporate announcement; it’s a spark of optimism for Pakistan’s auto sector.

From local jobs to affordable innovation, it’s the kind of progress car enthusiasts have been waiting for.
