Chery unveiled a double-cab ute from its new Himla series on April 23, among a plethora of product announcements at the Shanghai Auto Show.
Alongside the global premiere of the Himla series, the Chinese brand also introduced its new Tiggo 9 SUV flagship powered by its new Chery Super Hybrid system.
A Tiggo 7 CHS which is bound for New Zealand and Australia was also on display at Auto Shanghai.
The Himla series is destined for the Middle East, Central and South America and Europe. It will offer compact to mid-size, and large pickups with petrol, diesel, and pure electric variants on offer. Chery says it will cater to commercial utility, family transportation and off-road adventure.
