In a bold move to challenge the dominance of established players like Toyota and Ford in the global pickup market, Chery has unveiled its all-new HIMLA pickup. Debuting at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, the HIMLA is equipped with a cutting-edge 2.3T diesel engine paired with an 8AT automatic transmission, delivering 120 kW of power and 420 N·m of torque. With a cargo bed capacity of 1,276 liters and a payload exceeding 1,000 kg, HIMLA sets new benchmarks in the mid-to-large pickup segment. Its advanced powertrain ensures exceptional towing capacity, hill-climbing ability, and fuel efficiency, making it a versatile choice for both commercial and leisure users. Designed to tackle challenging terrains with ease, HIMLA boasts a 33° approach angle, 24° departure angle, and 220 mm ground clearance, complemented by an optional rear differential lock for enhanced traction. Set to launch in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, HIMLA represents a significant milestone in Chery’s global strategy, offering a fresh alternative to traditional utility pickups.
