The Chery Rely R08 is a mid-size, body-on-frame double-cab pickup marketed under Chery’s Rely commercial vehicle brand. In export markets, it is also sold as the Chery Himla. The vehicle is positioned for mixed commercial and personal use, including cargo transport, field operations, and daily driving.
The R08 is offered with two engine options. The diesel variant uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 120 kW and 420 N·m of torque, available with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. The petrol variant uses a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 118 kW and 230 N·m, paired exclusively with a five-speed manual transmission. Drive configurations include rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, depending on trim and market.
The vehicle rides on a ladder-frame chassis with double-wishbone front suspension and leaf-spring rear suspension. Payload capacity is rated at up to 1,000 kg, and the fuel tank holds 80 liters. The cargo bed measures 1,530 mm in length, 1,620 mm in width, and 515 mm in height for the standard wheelbase variant.
Equipment levels vary significantly by market and trim. Base configurations are oriented toward commercial use, with fabric seats, manual adjustment, rear parking sensors, air conditioning, and a basic audio system. Higher trims may include a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, wireless charging, 360-degree camera, and advanced driver assistance features, but these are not standard across the range. The R08 should not be confused with the separately marketed R08 Pro, a distinct off-road-oriented variant that adds features such as front and rear differential locks, BorgWarner part-time four-wheel drive, increased ground clearance, and a factory snorkel.

Rely R08 / Chery Himla: Certifications, Market Access, and Export Status
Scope note: This document distinguishes between the standard R08 (sold as Chery Himla in export markets) and the separately marketed R08 Pro. The R08 is produced in left-hand drive only; right-hand-drive markets are served by a different, unrelated Chery pickup platform .
Certifications and Homologation
| Certification / Homologation | Status | Applicable Market / Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| China MIIT Type Approval | Confirmed | China domestic (Rely R08) | Listed in MIIT’s 395th batch of vehicle product announcements |
| GCC Specification | Confirmed | UAE, Saudi Arabia, Gulf markets | Explicitly marketed as “GCC Specs” in UAE dealer listings; GCC debut via Al Ghurair Mobility |
| Euro V Emissions | Confirmed | Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, UAE (diesel) | Uruguay launch materials specify “Euro V” for the 2.3L diesel |
| Euro 6 Emissions | Not confirmed | — | No authoritative source found confirming Euro 6 homologation for export versions |
| Third-party Crash Rating (Euro NCAP / ANCAP / ASEAN NCAP) | None found | All markets | No public record of testing by any major independent crash assessment body |
| CE Mark | Unverified | R08 EV only | Listed by a commercial B2B supplier for the electric variant; not an authoritative whole-vehicle certification for the ICE pickup |
Confirmed Export / Launched Markets
| Market | Status | Powertrain | Key Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| UAE | Launched (Feb 2026) | Petrol & Diesel | GCC spec; exclusive distributor Al Ghurair Mobility; from AED 59,900 excl. VAT |
| Uruguay | Launched (Mar 2026) | Petrol & Diesel | Sold as Rely R8 / Himla; Euro V diesel; 5-year/150,000 km warranty |
| Argentina | Launched (May 2026) | Diesel only | Sold as Rely R8; Comfort / Luxury / Limited trims; 4WD only |
| Chile | Launched (Nov 2025) | Diesel | Sold as Chery Himla; 2WD and 4WD; 6MT / 8AT |
| Ethiopia | Delivered (Jul 2026) | EV only (R08 EV) | 150 units shipped; largest single order of Chinese electric pickups to Africa |
| Nigeria | Launched (Jul 2026) | Diesel | Sold as Rely R8; L2+ ADAS and 12.3-inch screen standard |
Chery’s stated coverage: As of early 2026, the Rely brand claims entry into over 30 countries and regions, with product launches completed in over 20 markets . Individual country breakdowns beyond those confirmed above are not publicly itemized.
Planned / Announced Markets (Not Yet Confirmed Launched)
| Market | Status | Powertrain | Caveats |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Africa | Announced for 2026 | Diesel | Chery South Africa confirmed the Himla for local arrival; RHD conversion required. Timing not finalized |
| Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia) | Customer interest stage (EV) | EV | Chery states it has “received customer interest” for R08 EV; no formal launch timeline |
| Brazil, Mexico | Customer interest stage (EV) | EV | Same as above; exploratory discussions only |
| Middle East, Africa, Australia | Strategic target regions | Diesel / PHEV | Chery targets these regions broadly; Australia will receive a different PHEV pickup (P3X platform), not the R08 |
Explicit Exclusions
| Market | Reason |
|---|---|
| Australia / New Zealand | Chery International confirmed the Himla will not be sold in ANZ; it is LHD-only. A separate PHEV ute based on the P3X platform is planned instead |
Summary Assessment
Certification posture: The R08 holds GCC specification approval for Gulf markets and Euro V emissions compliance for South American and Gulf export versions. China domestic market entry is confirmed via MIIT. No independent crash safety rating exists for this vehicle. Any “five-star safety” language in promotional materials should be treated as a manufacturer claim, not a certified result.
Market reality: The R08 is a left-hand-drive-only export product concentrated in Latin America, the Gulf, and Africa. Right-hand-drive markets (South Africa, Southeast Asia, ANZ) require a different production configuration; Chery’s RHD pickup strategy relies on a separate platform, not the R08. The “30+ countries” figure reflects Rely brand presence broadly, not R08-specific homologation in each market.
