Jaecoo J6 Electric SUV Officially Launches in Pakistan
Brace yourselves, Pakistan. The Jaecoo J6 Electric SUV isn’t just “another car” – it’s a silent, mud-plugging, pothole-devouring REVOLUTION on wheels. And it’s rolling into showrooms right now.
As an EV nut who’s test-driven everything from Mehran conversions to Teslas, this? This had my jaw on the floor. Let’s geek out on who brought it, why it’s making so much noise, and how it could turn your daily grind into an actual joyride. Let’s dive in.
The Brains Behind the Launch: Nishat Group x Chery’s Power Play
So, who’s responsible for this beauty? Nishat Group, the giants behind Hyundai Nishat Motors, teamed up with Chery International (yes, the Chinese auto titan) to form NextGen Auto. This dynamic duo shook up the market earlier this year when Chery split from Ghandhara Automotive and chose Nishat as its new partner.
Why does this matter? Simple:
-
Nishat brings local market savvy, dealership networks, and service force.
-
Chery delivers cutting-edge EV tech from its dedicated sub-brand, Jaecoo.
Fun fact: Jaecoo’s name fuses the German “Jager” (hunter) and English “cool”—and cool is exactly what this SUV is.
Meet the Star: Jaecoo J6 Electric SUV – More Than Just a Pretty Face
Picture a Land Rover Defender meets a Tesla. That’s the J6. With its boxy, rugged silhouette, 195 mm ground clearance, and glowing Jaecoo emblem, it screams “adventure-ready”. But under that retro-modern shell? Pure innovation.
