OMODA & JAECOO cross 15,000 locally assembled vehicles in Pakistan

The OMODA JAECOO Pakistan venture has crossed 15,000 locally assembled vehicles at its Faisalabad plant, hitting the milestone just over a year after the brands entered the country. The achievement, backed by the Nishat Group, marks one of the fastest production ramp-ups by a new entrant in Pakistan’s auto industry.

The 15,000-unit line-off ceremony was held at the company’s CKD plant in Faisalabad, where the Jaecoo J7 — the brand’s flagship SUV — also marked its first anniversary in the Pakistani market. To celebrate, the company has introduced a special Beige Interior Anniversary Edition of the J7, along with a new Royal British Green exterior shade.

OMODA JAECOO Pakistan: a one-year sprint from zero to 15,000

The pace of the rollout stands out in a market known for low volumes and slow launches. OMODA & JAECOO entered Pakistan on August 1, 2025, under the Nishat Group’s Next Gen Auto setup. The first locally assembled Jaecoo J7 rolled off the Faisalabad line on December 2, 2025, as PakWheels reported.

From there, the milestones came quickly. The company crossed 5,000 units by April 16, 2026, covering the Jaecoo J7 and the J5. It announced 10,000 locally assembled vehicles in August 2026. The latest figure adds another 5,000 units to that total, taking the count past 15,000.

Few automotive players in Pakistan have locally assembled that many vehicles within a single year. The numbers suggest strong buyer demand for the brand’s SUVs, particularly the hybrid variants.

Anniversary editions and expanding range

The Jaecoo J7’s first anniversary brings two additions to the lineup. The Special Beige Interior Edition gives buyers a new cabin option aimed at the premium end of the local SUV segment, where interior comfort increasingly drives purchase decisions.

The new Royal British Green exterior shade, detailed by Sunday, adds a bolder colour to the J7’s palette. Both moves keep the model fresh as competition intensifies in Pakistan’s SUV space, where new entrants are refreshing lineups aggressively — Toyota just updated the Corolla across five variants.

The brand’s electrified range is doing much of the heavy lifting. The JAECOO J7 Plug-in Hybrid and the JAECOO J5 Hybrid introduced new hybrid mobility options to Pakistani buyers, and the earlier 10,000-unit milestone was driven largely by demand for these intelligent hybrid models. That matters for buyers watching running costs — petrol prices remain near Rs400 per litre — and for cities fighting smog, where Punjab is already pushing schools to promote carpooling as Lahore’s AQI nears 200.

Dealer network reaches 20 outlets

An expanding nationwide dealer network now counts 20 dealerships across the country, giving the brand reach in Pakistan’s major cities and a service footprint that new car buyers watch closely before trusting an unfamiliar badge.

Sustained demand will depend on the ownership experience — reliable servicing, parts availability and timely deliveries. A successful launch attracts attention; consistent after-sales support keeps customers.

The milestone also fits a bigger regional story. Chinese automotive brands are expanding fast across emerging markets, from Southeast Asia to the Middle East and Africa, winning share with modern design, generous features and aggressive pricing. Pakistan, with over 240 million people and a deeply undersupplied car market, is a natural next frontier — and the OMODA & JAECOO numbers suggest the strategy is working there too.
