The Pakistani auto market is buzzing with excitement as leaked images of the Deepal K50 Hybrid Pickup have surfaced online. The photos show the new vehicle parked near a shipping port, suggesting it has recently arrived in the country for testing. Industry experts believe this could mark the beginning of a new era for hybrid pickup trucks in Pakistan.
A New Hybrid Contender for the Local Market
The Deepal K50, also known as the K50 Hunter, is a Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) that blends electric innovation with practical performance. Unlike traditional hybrids, the K50’s 2000cc petrol engine doesn’t drive the wheels directly. Instead, it acts as a generator to recharge the 31.8 kWh battery, which powers the electric motors. This setup delivers an impressive 268 horsepower and 472 Nm of torque, offering both strong performance and reduced emissions.
Globally, the K50 is known for its fuel efficiency, smooth drive, and lower carbon footprint. If launched locally, it will cater to Pakistan’s growing demand for eco-friendly and fuel-efficient vehicles, especially among commercial and adventure-lifestyle users.
Auto enthusiasts are comparing the Deepal K50 to the upcoming BYD Shark 6, another Chinese hybrid pickup expected to enter the Pakistani market soon. Both aim to reshape the light commercial segment by introducing advanced hybrid technologies.

If confirmed, the Deepal K50 Hybrid Pickup would become Pakistan’s first hybrid pickup, signaling a strong move toward electrification in the utility sector. The growing shift toward sustainable transport options could redefine the future of commercial mobility in Pakistan.
