New Vehicle Launches in Pakistan! October 2025:

October 2025 felt like a turning point for the Auto industry in Pakistan. With fuel prices climbing, petrol just hit Rs. 264.50 per liter, people are hunting for smarter ways to get around. And sales numbers back that up. New energy vehicles, like hybrids and full electrics, jumped about 40% year-over-year in the third quarter, based on Pakistan Automobile Manufacturers Association data. That's no small thing in a market where total car sales hit 17,174 units in September alone, up 67% from last year.

Two launches stole the show this month. Nishat Motors rolled out the Jaecoo J7 PHEV on October 21, a plug-in hybrid SUV that's locally built and priced to draw in families tired of gas bills. Then, on October 11, Capital Smart Motors dropped pricing for three Zeekr models: the compact X, the family-focused 7X, and the ultra-fancy 009 MPV. These aren't just imports; they're bets on a greener future, mixing tech and comfort without skimping on power.

Acceptability & Affordability:

All things going smoothly, but here's a question: Do they fit Pakistani roads and budgets? Zeekrs, on the other hand, go all-electric and require chargers that aren't yet available everywhere, while hybrids like the J7 make it easier to get used to. Over the next sections, we'll break it down specs, prices, who they're for, and what they mean for you. If you're eyeing a new ride, this could help sort the hype from the real deal.

Jaecoo J7 PHEV: Hybrid SUV for Everyday Drives

Imagine this: you're dodging Lahore traffic, but your tank isn't sweating it. The Jaecoo J7 PHEV makes that possible. Nishat Motors unveiled it on October 21 in Lahore, kicking off a push into plug-ins after their electric J6 and Omoda E5. It's assembled right here, which keeps costs down and supports local jobs. Bookings opened that day with a Rs. 2 million down payment. Deliveries start mid-December.

Launch Details and Pricing

The introductory price tags the Premium variant at Rs. 9,999,000, good until November 30. That's ex-factory, so add taxes and fees for the on-road cost, likely pushing it near Rs. 11 million. The Comfort trim has the same features as the Premium, with the exception of a few safety features. Nishat sweetens coming with warranties which are shocking, why not ?: six years or 150,000 km on the vehicle, eight years or 160,000 km on the battery. You can book it online, and other malls like Dolmen in Karachi or Centaurus in Islamabad, or dealerships.

Why now? Fuel hikes make hybrids hot. This one's for folks who want electric perks without full commitment. Test drives are already on at four spots: Lahore's Emporium Mall, Karachi's Dolmen, Islamabad's Centaurus, and Multan's dealership.

Key Features that Appeal to Some Special

Wheelbase: Amazing dimensions that 4,509 mm long with a 2,672 mm

Boot space?

500 liters, expanding to 1,300 with seats down. Ground clearance sits at 210 mm, handy for our bumpy streets.

Moreover, the power comes from a 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine plus an electric motor: 347 horsepower total, 510 Nm torque. It zips 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds.

Pure electric range?

90 km on the 18.3 kWh battery is enough for most commutes. Combined, it hits 25 km per liter. Charge in 2.5 hours on Level 2.

Inside, a 14.8-inch touchscreen runs the show with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Nappa leather seats, panoramic sunroof, and 12-speaker audio feel upscale.

Safety?

Seven airbags, Level 2 ADAS (adaptive cruise, lane keep), and 360 cameras.

How It Fits the Market and Your Life

This J7 targets the Haval H6 HEV (Rs. 8.5M) and MG HS PHEV (Rs. 9.8M). It's for range-worried families: electric for short trips, petrol for highways. Pros? Affordable entry to PHEVs, solid warranty, and local assembly mean cheaper parts. Cons? Charging spots are sparse outside cities, and that big screen controls too much, AC, mirrors, you name it.

Owners might love the quiet EV mode in traffic. But resale? As a new brand, it'll build over time. If you're upgrading from a Corolla Cross, this adds height and tech without the full EV leap.

Zeekr X: Compact EV for Urban Buzz

Urban drivers, this one's for you. The Zeekr X landed with pricing on October 11 at Capital Smart Motors' EVOLVE event in Lahore. It's a sub-compact crossover, nimble for Karachi alleys or Islamabad parking wars. Deliveries? Late November.

Pricing and Booking Basics

Premium trim: Rs. 17,990,000. Flagship AWD: Rs. 18,990,000. Ex-factory, so on-road adds up. Bookings are open, expect a Rs. 1-2 million deposit, though not specified yet. It's pricier than the BYD Atto 3 (Rs. 13M), but Zeekr bets on premium vibes.

Who It's Built For

Young pros ditching hatchbacks. Vs. Atto 3 wins on speed and screens. Hook: That 3.8-second sprint in a city car? Pure thrill, zero fumes. But high price and charging needs might pause budget buyers. If you live near a plug, it's a sleek upgrade.
