Pakistan Market Perspective

Pakistan’s SUV segment continues shifting toward hybrid and electrified vehicles, led by models such as:

Haval H6 HEV
Kia Sorento HEV
Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
BYD Sealion 7
Deepal S07

The refreshed Omoda C9 could become a competitive option if introduced locally with aggressive pricing and after-sales support.

Chery’s Global Expansion Strategy

Although Exeed sales inside China remain relatively weak, Chery’s international expansion through Omoda and Jaecoo continues gaining momentum across Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Industry analysts believe refreshed products like the Omoda C9 are primarily designed for export growth rather than domestic dominance.

According to China EV Datatracker, Exeed delivered only 1,504 units domestically in April 2026, highlighting the brand’s declining presence in China’s highly competitive EV and SUV market.

Still, Chery’s overseas strategy appears increasingly aggressive, particularly in right-hand-drive markets that could eventually include Pakistan.
