In a previous comparison, we did a quick comparison of all popular mid-sized plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles of Pakistan, e.g., JAECOO J7 PHEV, HAVAL H6 PHEV, and MG HS PHEV.
Now, it’s time to dive deeper into a 1 vs. 1 comparison.
Firstly, we’ll compare the JAECOO J7 PHEV against the most renowned mid-size SUV contender, the HAVAL H6 PHEV.
First of all, for those unfamiliar, the JAECOO J7 is a newly launched, locally assembled mid-sized plug-in hybrid PHEV SUV from the Nishat Group in Pakistan. It features a PHEV powertrain and comes with a very competitive price tag.
On the other hand, the HAVAL H6 PHEV, launched two months ago, is also a locally assembled mid-sized SUV with a similar PHEV powertrain.
Let’s now take a closer look at these two PHEV vehicles in a head-to-head comparison:
