[Max Pain]

It seems as if the shadows are dissipating from the automotive market of Pakistan, where the country’s second hand market is flourishing, the existing automakers are putting in extra funds and resources to maintain their market share in Pakistan, as improving economic conditions are attracting other investors in automotive market and others. So far, IMC has introduced Revo and Fortuner, likewise Pak-Suzuki has introduced Vitara; the fact however remains that the Pakistanis are going to see a lot of new developments and car launches. Following are 4 cars that you need to watch out this year.


1: Suzuki Ciaz:

Yes, ladies and gentleman, it’s about time that Pakistan receives a much-needed option in its redundant entry-level sedan market. Suzuki Ciaz is expected to be priced competitively and will be launching in the first quarter of 2017.

2: Audi A5 Sports back:

The coupe cum sedan cum coupe is being described as the trimmed down Audi A7. This car is aimed to cater the medium-higher end German sedan consumers. Audi Pakistan will be announcing its tariff in the first quarter of 2017.

Al-Haj FAW extended its base of operations to the wide majority of Pakistani consumers, when the company introduced FAW V2; a car which was approached with caution by many Pakistanis but with the time, local consumers have started to appreciate it in a more positive light. The company is planning to diversify country’s sedan market by introducing a new car and is likely to introduce FAW B50 in the third-fourth quarter of 2017.

Are they booking the facelift already? I thought bookings are for current shape so far. How much time did they give you?

 

[Hyde]

Audi A5... Definitely gonna buy that..

Audi A5 is an amazing car, no doubt in that but I think in Pakistan A4 and A6 makes a lot more sense as most of us keep the family in mind before purchasing such luxury cars and the design of A5 is sport-oriented with a lot of attention given to Front seat passengers. It is a very nice car no doubt in that but only if you plan to drive alone or with your partner. Its more suited for British or European culture

Well... did you know Pakistanis can fit 3 generations of a single khandaan in a mehran?! ... so an audi of any class is like a boeing 747... we can fit 6 generations

But Mehran got acres of space around the car to fit extra load of bags (passengers in our case)... But Audi cars are not very generous when it comes to giving extra amount of space. Even their glove boxes are tiny compared to non-germany brands.

People won't fit 20 people in 7 million luxury car... it happens with budget cars only in my opinion...

and when they would already have the option of A4 and A6 why would they buy A5 which is definitely better looking car but not idea for family

Except for the ubiquitous Corolla, are all the others CBU imports and hence subject to high taxes that will elevate their on-the-road prices to ridiculous levels?

I am not sure Sir,

I do know that Suzuki plans to phase out Mehran and Cultus to introduce Suzuki Ciaz and Celerio but I am not sure if they will be assembled locally or import

Importing a car with the present tax levies makes for insane prices. Local assembly and manufacturing are needed to comparatively reduce prices and provide relief to the hapless Pakistani consumers in this sector.
