Pakistan’s First EV Maker to Launch Electric SUV in 2025

Jaxeri Automotive, Pakistan’s first indigenous electric car manufacturer, is set to introduce a fully-electric compact SUV in the country by 2025. The Chairman of Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), Muhammad Najeeb Haroon, visited the company’s local Research and Development (R&D) facility, where the progress on car manufacturing and the upcoming electric SUV was discussed.

Jaxeri aims to design and manufacture the SUV locally, with a targeted launch date of 2025.In addition to this, Jaxeri had previously unveiled the Nur-E 75 electric hatchback prototype in Pakistan in August 2022.

The prototype, developed by the US-based DICE Foundation, aimed to tap into the economy car market. The Nur-E 75 features a 107HP/200Nm single electric motor with a top speed of 127 Km/hr.
