Nishat Motors has officially unveiled the JAECOO J7 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) in Pakistan. The SUV marks the brand’s entry into the plug-in hybrid market, combining efficiency, power, and modern design. The launch happened at 6 pm as scheduled earlier.
A Step Towards Practical Electrification
Following the debut of the JAECOO J6 and OMODA E5 earlier this year, Nishat Motors has now introduced the J7 PHEV, a perfect balance between electric innovation and practicality. With Pakistan’s EV infrastructure still in development, this mid-size hybrid SUV aims to provide the best of both worlds: electric range for city drives and petrol reliability for longer trips.
Price, Bookings, and Deliveries
The introductory ex-factory price of the Premium variant is set at Rs 99,99,000 (~1 Crore), valid till November 30, 2025. Bookings are now open across Pakistan with an advance payment of Rs 20,00,000. Deliveries will begin from mid-December 2025.
Buyers can reserve the vehicle through official Omoda–JAECOO dealerships, online booking portals, or display locations at Dolmen Mall (Lahore and Karachi), Centaurus Mall (Islamabad), and OJ Dealership (Multan).
Warranty and Support
The company offers a 6-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind for customers.
