Pakistan Suzuki Unveils the Alto VXR AGS With ABS

September 17, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Pak Suzuki has now introduced Suzuki Alto VXR with AGS technology.

In order to draw in more buyers, Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) has unveiled a brand-new variation of their best-selling car, the “Suzuki Alto VXR AGS.”
Pak Suzuki automobiles have been warmly appreciated by consumers since they first debuted 40 years ago, and even now, Suzuki’s Alto is the most popular vehicle in Pakistan.

But with its most recent modification to an already popular automobile, the company’s commitment to ongoing development and outstanding customer service is clear.

The Suzuki Alto VXR AGS is equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System in addition to the company’s Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology, which is apparent from the name (ABS).

Suzuki Alto VXR AGS Price in Pakistan

The Suzuki Alto VXR AGS’s Rs. 2,120,000 starting price in Pakistan makes sense given that the automaker has introduced two new features to the car, including the Auto Gear Shift (AGS) and Anti-Lock Breaking System (ABS), which increases safety.

VARIANT	ENGINE	PRICE
Suzuki Alto VXR AGS/ABS	660cc	Rs. 2,120,000 EST

Muva Electric Rickshaw Made In Pakistan l Pakistan Auto Show 2022 l

August 4, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

MUVA (Rethink Urban Mobility)

YES Electromotive, an entirely original producer of electric vehicles (EVs), participated in the Pakistan Auto Show (PAS) 2022 with plans to deploy MUVA electric rikshaws in Pakistan.

According to a company official, Lahore, Pakistan is the exclusive manufacturing and assembly location for MUVA electric rickshaws.

Before it is formally introduced to the general public or the market, the corporation is fine-tuning it through testing, research, and development.

At its state-of-the-art facility in Lahore, Pakistan, MUVA Electric Rickshaws are made entirely from scratch

A firm representative said that Pakistan’s cutting-edge plant in Lahore produces MUVA electric rickshaws fully from scratch.

The firm is presently fine-tuning the product through testing and in-depth research and development before publicly launching these rickshaws on the market, the spokesperson stated.

Modular Utility Vehicle Architecture, sometimes known as MUVA, is a program for creating light commercial vehicles. With no exhaust emissions and nearly seven times cheaper running expenses than a three-wheeled petrol vehicle, these small electric vehicles (EVs) will serve the same purpose as a typical rickshaw.

Muva Electric Rickshaw Specification:

MODEL	TYPE	SEATING
MUVA-Passenger	Ultra Light Commercial Vehicle	Driver+3

Detail Specifications:

Type	Permanent Magnet
Rated/Peak Power	4kw/8kw
Wheel Size	12″
Grade Ability	20%
Turning Radius	3.9m

Battery Type:

Type	Lithium Iron Phosphate
Range	150km

Weight & Capacities:

Gross Vehicle Weight	250Kgs
Chassis Weight	300Kgs
Pay Load (Incl. Driver)	300Kgs

Dimensions:

Length	2800mm
Width	1400mm
Height	1500mm

MUVA, an abbreviation for Modular Utility Vehicle Architecture, refers to a programme for developing light commercial vehicles. These small electric vehicles (EVs) will perform the same function as a traditional rickshaw, but with no tailpipe emissions and at roughly seven times lower operating costs than a three-wheeled petrol vehicle.

A driver and three passengers can ride in the MUVA electric rickshaw, a commercial EV that is incredibly light. Its curb weight is 450 KG, and its maximum payload capacity is 300 KG. It has a single electric permanent magnet motor with a maximum output of 10.7 horsepower.

The firm will only sell the MUVA rickshaw as a commercial electric vehicle, and the company will focus on fleet sales, the company spokesman continued. He continued by saying that YES Electromotive also plans to adopt a ride-hailing service operating model, allowing customers to request these rickshaws using a smartphone app.

In Japan, A Brand New Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Matte Black Edition Debuts

August 4, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The SUV Receives Several New Trim Pieces

The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado continues to serve its purpose and is now offered in Japan in a new Matte Black Edition. This comes after the 70th Anniversary Edition, which went on sale last year just in time for the unveiling of the new Land Cruiser.

The new Matte Black Edition adds some style to the SUV but doesn’t improve performance. Toyota has added matte black trim elements all around the vehicle, including the headlamp garnish, fog light bezels, and the grille and grille insert. The SUV also gets 18-inch matte black six-spoke metal alloys.

Gallery:

The outdated SUV need a major renovation, so the upgrades aren’t really big. It is smaller than the Land Cruiser, which was introduced for the 2010 model year and entered a new generation last year. Since then, the SUV industry has undergone tremendous shift, and a new LC Prado may be in the works.

For The Fourth Time In 2022, Pak Suzuki Have Raise Bike Prices

Last year, Toyota introduced the brand-new Land Cruiser LC300, giving it brand-new foundations in the shape of Toyota’s TNGA platform.

The SUV had a significant exterior redesign and a thorough interior makeover to bring it into line with the other SUV models in the market. When the redesigned Land Cruiser Prado is released, we anticipate it will be built on the Land Cruiser’s new platform.

Specifications:

Only white or black are offered in the Land Cruiser Prado. The SUV’s powertrain looks to remain unchanged and will likely continue to be either the 163 horsepower (121 kW) 2.7-liter gasoline engine or the 201 horsepower (149 kW) 2.8-liter diesel engine. A six-speed automatic transmission transmits power to all four wheels.

Price Tag:

For between $32,662 and $38,739 at the current exchange rate, Toyota is asking for between 4.3 and 5.1 million for the Land Cruiser Prado Matte Black Edition. The Lexus GX sold in the US is comparable to the Land Cruiser Prado. It is a little less sturdy than its full-sized sister and smaller than a normal Land Cruiser.

Honda Will Launch HR-V In Pakistan Soon

July 30, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

In the near future, Honda Atlas Cars Limited intends to introduce Pakistan to the brand-new HR-V. Without providing a specific debut date, the business announced “HR-V All New 2022 Coming Soon” on a digital banner at Pakistan Auto Show (PAS) 2022.

Last month, HACL started testing the HR-V in Pakistan, which excited auto fans. The 11th generation Honda Civic test vehicle was seen to be wrapped in the same camouflage as the SUV. Later updates made it clear that HACL had indeed imported the SUV for testing.

2022 Honda Price List In Pakistan

HONDA HR-V DETAILS:

Early in 2021, Honda introduced the HR-V, also known as the Honda Vezel in Japan, to compete with crossovers like the Toyota C-HR, Corolla Cross, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, and others.

It offers a variety of powertrains for different markets, including an electric hybrid option. A 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automated braking, traffic sign reading, lane departure warning, and other contemporary Honda Sensing technology are all included in the HR-V.

The SUV was listed as costing Rs. 6.05 million on the import invoice, which seems like a reasonable price. However, considering the continued local currency devaluation and increasing operating costs, the manufacturer is probably going to launch at a significantly higher price.

Government Has Imposed 1% Capital Value Tax (CVT) On Cars Above 1300cc

July 6, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Beginning on July 1st, 2022, the government will apply a 1 percent Capital Value Tax (CVT) on all vehicles with engines larger than 1300 cc and battery packs larger than 50 kWh.

In an effort to include automobiles with relatively tiny yet turbocharged engines under the tax net, the government had earlier suggested a 2 percent CVT on vehicles with price tags exceeding PKR 5 Million, according to the details. Later, the plan was scaled back to a 1% CVT.

CAR IMPACT OF CVT

Changan Alsvin
Toyota Yaris
Honda City (1.5L variants)
Toyota Corolla
Honda Civic
KIA Stonic
KIA Sportage
Hyundai Tucson
Proton X70
Chery Tiggo 4 Pro
Chery Tiggo 8 Pro
Changan Oshan X7
KIA Sorento
DFSK Glory 580 Pro
Hyundai Elantra
Hyundai Sonata
Haval Jolion
Haval H6

The tax requirements are now predicated on the engine displacement above 1300cc, and the price tag beyond PKR 5 Million is therefore wholly meaningless. Although FBR’s decrease of CVT from 2% to 1% was to the benefit of customers, these recent conditions mean that the impact on consumers will be considerably greater.

Although there has been a significant rise in the number of automobiles brought into the CVT tax net, the value of tax collection has undoubtedly decreased. Thus, the government benefits from this arrangement!

(PSMC) Has Reportedly Decided To Discontinue Cultus

June 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Suzuki Cultus will reportedly no longer be sold in Pakistan by Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC). They have been informed by a source that one of the company’s best-selling vehicles would be discontinued in the coming months. According to reports, Cultus will be officially discontinued in the coming months.

2022 Suzuki Price List In Pakistan

Sources claim that the firm intends to highlight the recently released Suzuki Swift as their main offering. The corporation wanted customers to flock to the new Swift because “Cultus was dangling midway between sales of Alto and Swift,” they continued.

According to reports, Alto and Swift sales had an impact on Cultus sales, and the business intended to heavily market Swift while boosting Alto sales.

It further stated that Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) wanted to increase sales of the Suzuki Alto. The Suzuki Alto sold 9,814 units in March 2022, 5,009 units in April, and then a small increase to 5,461 units in May 2022, according to the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA).

The Suzuki Cultus will no longer be sold in Pakistan, but Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) has not yet officially announced this. The Suzuki Cultus is one of the company’s best-selling vehicles and was just introduced in 2019, thus it seems quite improbable that they will move forward with the choice.

Tesla’s India Entrance Strategy Would Be Put On Hold

May 16, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

According to three people familiar with the issue, Tesla has put plans to sell electric cars in India on hold, abandoned a search for showroom space, and moved members of its domestic staff after failing to negotiate reduced import taxes.

Tesla planned to gauge demand by offering lower taxes on electric cars (EVs) imported from production hubs in the United States and China, which resulted in a year of deadlock negotiations with government officials.

The Indian government, on the other hand, is urging Tesla to commit to local manufacturing before lowering import levies, which can be as high as 100%.

According to people familiar with Tesla’s plan, the business set a deadline of February 1 to see if their lobbying paid off, the day India announces its budget and reveals tax revisions.

According to the persons who asked anonymity because the conversations were private, Tesla put its plans to import cars into India on hold when Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government refused to compromise.

According to two sources, Tesla had been exploring for real estate options in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru for months, but that plan has also been put on hold.

Tesla did not reply to an email request for comment. The Indian government did not respond to a request for comment right away. Tesla’s modest team in India has been handed additional responsibilities for other markets.

According to his LinkedIn page, Manuj Khurana, the company’s India policy head, has been working in a new “product” function in San Francisco since March.

In January, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed the business was still “working through a lot of challenges with the government” in terms of sales in India. Increased demand for Tesla automobiles in other countries, as well as a dispute over import levies, prompted the adjustment in strategy. Modi has attempted to woo businesses with a “Make in India” campaign, but his transport minister, Nitin Gadkari, claimed in April that Tesla importing vehicles from China would be a “bad suggestion.”

New Delhi, on the other hand, won a triumph in January when Mercedes-Benz announced that it will begin manufacturing one of its electric cars in India.

Tesla had intended to gain a competitive advantage in India’s small but growing electric car industry, which is now dominated by Tata Motors.

Tesla’s starting price of $40,000 (about Rs. 31 lakh) would put it in the premium segment of the Indian market, where sales account just a small proportion of the country’s almost 3 million annual automobile sales.

Prince-DFSK Announces the Second Price Increase for 2022

April 21, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

In Pakistan, all vehicle firms are raising prices, claiming currency devaluation, rising freight expenses, and rising raw material costs as reasons. The latest to enter the battle is Regal Motors, which has raised the cost of Prince-DFSK automobiles.

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

The following are the new Prince-DFSK car pricing, which take effect immediately:

Variants	Current Price (Rs.)	Expected Price (Rs.)	Increase (Rs.)
Prince Pearl M/T	1,334,000	1,534,000	200,000
DFSK Glory 580 1.5T CVT	4,649,000	5,009,000	360,000
DFSK Glory 580 1.8 CVT	4,800,000	5,160,000	360,000
DFSK Glory 580 Pro	5,040,000	5,400,000	360,000
Prince K07	1,749,000	2,039,000	290,000

Regal Motors has been a major competitor in the industry since its inception in 2018. This was largely due to the success of the DFSK Glory 580, which provides practicality, advanced features, and comfort at a low cost.

Proton Announces a Price Increase for Only One Vehicle

Even at a price of over Rs. 5 million, the Glory 580 is Pakistan’s cheapest subcompact SUV. It also maintains its advantage in terms of practicality, with seven seats and a solid feature set. Prince Pearl, on the other hand, is expected to see a sales downturn now that its price has surpassed Rs. 1.5 million.
