Automaq Expands Its SUV Portfolio With Kaiyi

The Kaiyi Launch in Paraguay announced by Automaq on August 7 expands the company's automotive portfolio with a new SUV lineup featuring plug-in hybrid technology. The initial range includes the X3, X3 Pro, X7, and X7 plug-in hybrid, with prices starting at USD 13,990. Automaq said the addition supports its long-term strategy to diversify its product offering and introduce additional brands in the future. The launch therefore combines broader product coverage with an entry point aimed at the Paraguayan market, while adding electrified technology to the company's existing vehicle portfolio.

X7 Plug-in Hybrid Leads the Launch Strategy

Automaq has positioned the X7 plug-in hybrid as a key model, citing a total driving range of 1,100-1,200 km and an electric-only range exceeding 120 km. The company believes hybrid vehicles can provide an attractive mobility solution in Paraguay as charging infrastructure continues to expand. To support the new lineup, Automaq will use its nationwide commercial and aftersales network and provide financing plans starting at USD 199 per month. The strategy combines vehicle availability, electrified mobility and established sales and service coverage to support Kaiyi's introduction in the market.
