Jaecoo, the premium off-road-inspired sub-brand of Chery introduced to Pakistan by a subsidiary of the Nishat Group in 2025 and quickly expanded with locally assembled hybrids.

Both come with a 6-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty, plus deliveries through authorized dealerships nationwide.
