The last time we heard about Chery was in December 2021, when the company unveiled two SUVs in Karachi. After that, the company went out of sight for a while. And now, Chery Pakistan is back and not coming slow.
On Monday, Changan launched its first crossover SUV, the Changan Oshan X7. On the same day, Chery Pakistan posted on social media saying, “That was a good move but not extraordinary!”. (Shots fired!)
The post featured the signature Chery grille asking the audience to “Stay Tuned.” The caption read, “All good things come to those who wait! Experience the real future of driving and extraordinary power. Coming soon near you.”
All the hints take us in one direction: the official launch of the first Chery crossover SUV, Chery Tiggo 8 Pro. Here are the specs and features of the upcoming car.

Crossovers have stormed market and are no more required perhaps that too Chinese. Competitive sedans are required to generate interest amongst masses n buyers. In Pakistan, we tend to follow trend rather than requirement
