Chery Master Pakistan Sets A New Industry Benchmark with Tiggo 8 & Tiggo 9 PHEV CKD Line-Off in 5 Days

Chery Master Pakistan has achieved the record-breaking CKD line-off of Tiggo 8 PHEV and Tiggo 9 PHEV within a span of five days, marking a defining milestone in its back-to-back rollout of plug-in hybrid models and setting a new industry benchmark for how quickly advanced vehicles are brought to market in Pakistan.

Chery Master Pakistan has launched three globally benchmark plug-in hybrid models in the local market within a span of four months, establishing Pakistan’s largest plug-in hybrid CKD lineup. Delivered at a critical time when rising fuel costs and limited charging infrastructure make plug-in hybrids the only practical solution without range anxiety, this rollout has translated into record-setting early deliveries, further reinforced by the CKD line-off of Tiggo 9 PHEV within just five days of Tiggo 8 PHEV.

Backed by the manufacturing strength of Master Auto Engineering and supported by Chery Automobile’s core technical team, the line-off reflects execution at speed while maintaining global engineering precision and quality standards. With Start of Volume Production underway, vehicles are undergoing rigorous validation across Pakistan’s driving conditions.

Positioned as Pakistan’s first premium plug-in hybrid E-SUV, Tiggo 9 PHEV stands as the flagship of Chery’s PHEV lineup and a category-defining product, combining high performance, advanced safety and elevated comfort.

Alongside Tiggo 8 PHEV and Tiggo 7 PHEV, it forms part of a continuous rollout, bringing Chery’s world’s best plug-in hybrid technology closer to Pakistani customers at an unprecedented pace. Powered by Chery Super Hybrid technology, it delivers up to 170 km of electric driving and up to 1,400 km total range. With 610 horsepower, 920 Nm of torque, and all-wheel drive, it offers performance and efficiency suited for both daily commuting and long-distance travel.

With running costs as low as PKR 2 to 10 per kilometre, it enables fuel-free daily driving while eliminating range anxiety and reducing reliance on charging infrastructure. Inside, it features a 15.6-inch infotainment display, 14 speaker Sony audio system, front-row massage seats, and heated and ventilated seating across both the first and second rows. Safety is a key strength, with 10 airbags, Level 2 Plus ADAS with over 27 functions, and automatic parking, positioning it among the safest and most advanced SUVs in Pakistan.

Following the highly successful launch of Tiggo 7 PHEV, this milestone builds on an exceptional market response, with strong customer demand reflecting a clear shift toward plug-in hybrid mobility in Pakistan.

Commenting on the achievement, Samir Malik, CEO of Master Auto Engineering, said: “This is a proud moment for us. What we are building is not just a product lineup, but a shift in how quickly global technologies can reach Pakistani customers. What we have achieved reflects a new level of speed, precision and execution in the local industry. By combining global capability with local manufacturing strength, we are accelerating this transition while ensuring these solutions remain practical and relevant for Pakistan.”
