Proton Announces a Price Increase for Only One Vehicle

April 21, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Al-Haj Automotive has increased the price of the Proton Saga, joining the recent price hike trend. Proton has already raised the price of the X70, which now begins at Rs. 5.4 million.

The following are the updated pricing for Saga versions, which are effective immediately:

VARIANTS	OLD PRICE(PKR)	Price Before May 10 (PKR)	Price After May 10 (PKR)	Increase (PKR)

ACE Automatic	2,399,000	2,509,000	2,619,000	200,000

CALL FOR ON ROAD PRICE

The new pricing have been introduced in such a way that customers who book Saga before May 10 will pay 50% of the increased cost, while those who book cars after May 11 will pay 100% of the increased rate.

The price increase from Proton Saga is similar to those from Kia and Changan. Nonetheless, the Saga is Pakistan’s cheapest sedan, with the potential to become one of the country’s best-selling vehicles.

What is Causing Pakistan’s Automobile Costs to Rise?

Pakistanis could expect further price rises in the next days, since all automakers have announced price hikes one by one.

Hyundai Elantra 1.6L Is Set To Debut In Pakistan This Month

April 15, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

By the end of April 2022, Hyundai Nishat Motors Private Limited (HNMPL) plans to debut the Hyundai Elantra 1.6L model in Pakistan. New Hyundai Elantra model will be released before Eid-ul-Fitr, although the business has yet to declare a specific date.

Hyundai will launch a 1.6L Elantra version, according to our sources. In March 2021, Hyundai debuted the Elantra in Pakistan. It’s a mid-size car that competes with the Toyota Corolla Grande and Honda Civic in the C category. Elantra had a favorable reaction for a newcomer and quickly became a favorite among many. Hyundai Elantra sales surged by 186 percent from January to February 2022.

Encouraged by the strong reaction, Hyundai has chosen to introduce the Elantra 1.6L in Pakistan. This implies that in the local market, this car will compete with the top-of-the-line Toyota Yaris and Honda City models.

It is likely to cost Rs.3.5 million when it is released (approximately). This may have an influence on Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6 X sales.

Hyundai Elantra Badge — Hyundai Elantra Tail Light

According to our sources, the new 1.6L Elantra has the same external design as the 2.0L Elantra. The headlights are identical tetra-LED headlights with DRL. Despite the exterior’s similarity, the inside has been upgraded. The 2.0L variant’s instrument cluster has been replaced. This model has a smaller infotainment display. The 8-inch infotainment display screen would be standard on the Elantra 1.6L.

The Hyundai Elantra 1.6L, like its 2.0L predecessor, would include a sunroof. The sunroof is not available on the top-of-the-line Yaris and City models. There are also rear AC vents, which contribute to the rear passengers’ comfort and elegance.

The Hyundai Elantra’s exact details are yet to be revealed. We’ll let you know as soon as we have more information. However, because it is a smaller, less expensive variant of the Hyundai Elantra 2.0L, expect fewer amenities. Meanwhile, let us know what you think of this 1.6L variant of the Elantra, which is already a hit in Pakistan.

April 14, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

However, Sazgar Engineering Works Limited (SEWL) has yet to release the official specs of this version, but given that the vehicle’s business Completely Built Unit (CBU) also came with a 2.0L Turbo Engine, it’s fair to presume that features would be comparable.

Haval H6 2.0T Price in Pakistan:

The Haval H6 2.0T is priced at PKR 7,499,000/: in Pakistan, which would be a difficult sell given the growing competition in the SUV market, with more well-known companies already providing cheaper options. Due to the poor resale value, Pakistani clients are hesitant to give a new name in the automobile sector a chance.

The vehicle’s specs have yet to be verified by the business, however the Haval H6 2.0T is likely to include the following features:

Pakistan Is Now Proton’s Largest Export Market

April 7, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Proton is steadily extending its global presence, with Pakistan being its most important export market. According to Paul Tan, a famous Malaysian news site, the manufacturer exported 794 units to foreign markets in March 2021, with 690 of those going to Pakistan.

What is Causing Pakistan’s Automobile Costs to Rise?

In March 2022, Proton sold a total of 13,028 units (in Malaysia and other countries), a 41 percent increase over the previous month, with the Saga being the best-selling model with 6,422 units. The X70 SUV was the second best seller, with 2,320 units sold in a month.

Proton has a huge market share in Malaysia, but it isn’t quite as successful in Pakistan. Slow sales, delayed local manufacture, extended delivery periods, and a resulting drop in demand are some of the causes behind this.

Proton only sold 1,233 cars in Pakistan in 2021, according to data compiled by AutoJournal.pk. Only 181 of these units were locally produced, with 1,052 being CBUs.

Following the de-intensification of COVID19 limitations and the resulting ease of commerce with Malaysia, Al-Haj Automotive recently stated that it is scaling up local manufacture of Proton automobiles.

According to market sources, Proton now has a backlog of over 1,000 reservations, resulting in a delivery delay of up to a year for new reservations. Previous customers have been enraged by these faults, and new purchasers have been turned off by Proton.

100% Revised Price (Rs.)	PKR 4,799,000 EST

2022 Hyundai Price List In Pakistan

Mashood Khan, chairman of the Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers (PAAPAM), indicated last month that rising freight costs, rising raw material expenses, and the depreciation of the Pakistani rupee will continue to cause havoc on automobile pricing.

HNMPL, like a number of other automakers, will adopt the revised pricing in the following order:

Those who paid in full by April 5th, 2022, and expect delivery in June will be charged the previous price.
Those who paid in full before April 25th, 2022, and expect delivery in May or June, will face a 50% price increase.
Those who order new Elantras after April 5, 2022, will be charged the full price hike.

He, like numerous others, pointed to the current Ukraine-Russia war as a major impediment to global commerce and a contributing factor to the looming catastrophe. More price spikes are likely in the future, based on these details.

Chery Tiggo is Pakistan’s 12th Locally Manufactured SUV

March 29, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Last year, the business formed a joint venture with Chinese Chery Automobile Co Ltd. to assemble and distribute Tiggo series sports utility vehicles (SUVs) locally.

Ghandhara Nissan Limited (GNL) stated on Saturday that reservations for the Chery Tiggo 4 and 8 Pro SUVs, priced at Rs4.6 million and Rs6.6 million, are now available in Karachi.

GNL said that it had begun assembly of the SUVs and that the first batch of cars will be delivered in April and May. The Tiggo 4 is a five-seater SUV with a 1.5L Turbo engine, while the Tiggo 8 is a seven-seater SUV with a 1.6 Turbo engine. The Toyota Fortuner and BR-V were the only domestically built SUVs prior to the Auto Development Policy (ADP) 2016-21. However, since the government’s policies permitted the car sector, over a dozen SUVs were released.

In the country, they’re being put together. GNL, on the other hand, does not qualify as a greenfield or brownfield site under the program.

Chery SUV assembly has begun at GNL’s Port Qasim factory, according to Zain Afzal, director marketing and sales. He said that they had received requests for bookings of 3000 units during the pricing announcement and booking beginning event.

According to Khalid Mehr, director of sales commercial vehicles at GNL, the company’s yearly capacity on a single shift basis is 16,000 units.

He went on to say that they were now donating 250 units each month, which will be gradually raised. It was revealed that GNL will put $10 million into the project during the first four years.

Anas Mehmood Trunkwala, COO of World Automobiles, GNL approved dealers, highlighted key characteristics of the SUV and expressed his delight with its pricing. “The SUVs are reasonably priced, and their features are unrivalled.” They were confident in their ability to grab a significant portion of the SUV market.

The SUV was booked on a “first come, first served” basis, according to Shahzaib Mehmood Trunkwala, president of World Group. “We will introduce Chery in Islamabad very soon.”

At the moment, the SUV sector has the greatest number of possibilities. The car industry forecasts that by 2030, the high-priced sector would have captured the largest share of the market – around 37 percent.

The Hyundai Tucson Also Sees A Significant Price Increase

March 28, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Hyundai Tucson also sees a significant price increase. Hyundai Nishat Motors Private Limited (HNMPL) has revised the prices of the Hyundai Tucson, joining the price hike bandwagon. In barely over two months, the firm has raised its prices for the second time.

2022 Hyundai Price List In Pakistan

The following are the pricing for both Hyundai Tucson models, which are effective immediately:

Variants	Old Price (PKR)	Revised Price (PKR)	Increase (PKR)
Tucson GLS Sport FWD	5,549,000	5,799,000	250,000
Tucson Ultimate AWD	5,999,000	6,299,000	300,000

CALL FOR ON ROAD PRICE

HNMPL, like its competitors, blamed the increase on increased raw material costs, freight charges, the depreciation of the local currency, and other logistical issues.

Unlike other manufacturers, however, HNMPL has only applied the increased costs to bookings made after the price hike was announced. Those who booked before March 25, 2022, will be charged the old rate.

Hyundai, on the other hand, has merely upped the price of the Tucson. It’s worth mentioning that the SUV was HNMPL’s best-selling car in February 2022, selling approximately 800 units in the month.
