The new-energy vehicle segment in Pakistan got its real boost with the arrival of two Chery-backed models: the all-electric SUV Omoda E5 and a locally made plug-in hybrid, Jaecoo J7. Both are imported into Pakistan under the partnership between Chery International and NextGen Auto, which is a part of the Nishat Group, which already assembles hybrids in the country.
Let’s take a closer look at the current pricing, specs and booking procedures for each.

The Omoda E5 provides an entry-level all-electric vehicle, and is suited to drivers who make mostly short commute trips in cities and have a reliable access to charging at home/place of work.
