To further enhance buyer confidence, Nishat Motors is backing the Jaecoo J7 PHEV with an extensive warranty package. This includes a 6-year or 150,000-kilometre warranty for the vehicle and an 8-year or 160,000-kilometre warranty for the battery, positioning the SUV as a competitive option in Pakistan’s growing hybrid and electric vehicle segment despite the recent price hike.
