Sazgar Reveals Official Booking Timeline for Tank 500 HEV and PHEV
Haval Pakistan has taken a major step in the premium SUV segment as Sazgar to launch locally assembled GWM Tank 500 HEV and PHEV in the country.
The company has officially confirmed that bookings for the locally produced Tank 500 Hi4-T 4×4 2.0L Turbo AT will open on Monday, January 26, 2026, marking a major shift toward hybrid technology in Pakistan’s full-size SUV market.
This move brings Pakistan its first locally assembled premium hybrid SUV in the 4×4 category—a segment previously dominated by imported models such as the Prado and Fortuner.
Expected Price in Pakistan
While official pricing will be revealed on launch day through Sazgar’s digital platforms, market expectations suggest figures around Rs. 2 crore, considerably lower than CBU imports.
Localization is expected to make the SUV more accessible for buyers in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, and other urban centers.
