Changan Begins Local Assembly of Nevo Hunter REEV 4×4 Pickup in Pakistan

Master Changan Motors Limited (MCML) has started local production of the Nevo Hunter REEV 4×4 pickup at its Karachi plant. The company held a line-off ceremony as it prepares to begin customer deliveries. According to MCML, the pickup is fully booked until February 2027. Dedicated Assembly Line Established Changan established a dedicated assembly line for the range-extended electric pickup in less than 90 days. The Hunter is the first model introduced under the company's Nevo brand in Pakistan. The company launched it at Rs10.99 million. Moreover, Changan plans to provide sales and aftersales services through its nationwide dealership network, including dedicated electric vehicle support.
