Naming

The name "Himla" is derived from the Himalayas mountain range. Chery also claims the word is an acronym for High performance, Innovation, Multifunctional, Longevity and All-terrain. ^[3] In China, the Himla is marketed under the Rely brand as the Rely R08 (Chinese :威麟R08; pinyin :Wēilín R08) and Rely Reaolc (Chinese :威麟捷想者; pinyin :Wēilín Jiéxiǎngzhě). ^[4]

Markets

The Himla went on sale in Chile in November 2025 in three variants, all powered by a 2.3-litre turbodiesel engine with 2WD and 4WD options, as well as 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic transmission options. ^[5]
