Chery HIMAVA's Rugged Design And Comfort Interior: What UAE Buyers Get

Dubai: The Chery HIMAVA has arrived in the UAE, aiming to blend the utility of a traditional pickup with the comforts more commonly found in a family SUV. The design approach is clear: a tough exterior and a cabin filled with large screens and creature comforts, so every journey feels more comfortable and convenient. 

No one needs telling that the pickup market in the region is competitive in the UAE. However, Chery is betting on a specific mix of practicality and premium-feel features with the new HIMAVA.

Quick read:

• Exterior styling is defined by a large, bold front grille and lighting that illuminates up to 190 metres.
• The cabin offers SUV-like comforts, including faux leather, massage seats, and a panoramic sunroof.
• A large digital cockpit features a 12.3-inch driver display and a 15.6-inch central screen.
• At over 5.3 metres long, the HIMAVA is a large pickup with a significant road presence in the UAE.

Chery HIMAVA Exterior Gets A Rugged Pickup Look

From the outside, the HIMAVA is recognisably a modern pickup. The shape is dominated by a large, bold front grille that gives it a substantial road presence, something that matters on UAE highways. Moreover, the long-wheelbase body sits on 17-inch rims, completing a look that seems intended to be as capable as it appears.

Chery HIMAVA Gets A Large Digital Cockpit

The dashboard is dominated by two large screens. In front of the driver is a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, while a much larger, 15.6-inch screen for infotainment sits in the centre, ensuring both passenger and driver stay connected. 

For added convenience, the vehicle includes a wireless phone charger and a head-up display, projecting key information onto the windscreen so the driver’s eyes can stay on the road. It’s a technology offering that feels current and should meet the expectations of most buyers.

Chery HIMAVA Dimensions And Size

There's no getting around the fact that the HIMAVA is a large vehicle. The number of dimensions translates into a pickup with a very noticeable presence on the road and plenty of room inside for its five occupants.

The size is a core part of its appeal, contributing to both its rugged image and its practical cargo-carrying ability. Of course, its length will be a consideration for anyone who frequently has to navigate tight underground car parks or busy urban streets in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. 

Our Take

The Chery HIMAVA presents a clear proposition for buyers in the UAE. It combines the tough, practical exterior expected of a pickup with an interior that borrows heavily from the family SUV playbook. The focus on comfort, with features like reclining rear seats and a large sunroof, makes it a more versatile option than a simple workhorse. 

Also, the brand has added the modern digital cockpit with good connectivity to complete the package. This blend could find an audience with buyers who need the load capacity of a pickup but don't want to sacrifice the comfort and technology they are used to in their daily driver.
