Consul John Francis S. Herrera and Philippine Trade and Investment Center, Shanghai Chief Jose Ma. S. Dinsay represented the Philippine Consulate General at the unveiling.

Chery Auto launched a total of 16 new models, but only four (4) crème de la crème models were featured during the unveiling with the main spotlight on Chery’s first venture into the pickup truck market, the very masculine Himla pickup truck which looks ready to take on the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger. The other new featured vehicles are the Exeed Exlantix ES, a sleek electric SUV, the Omoda C7, a smaller but no less impressive compact crossover SUV and the iCar V23, a more affordable and compact SUV with the features and pricetag that would appeal to millenials and Gen Z folk wanting to go out on weekend excursions.

The featured vehicles are set to hit the Philippine market either in late 2025 or early 2026. END
