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.

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.

At The Lahore Expo, The “Made in Pakistan” Vehicle Display Will Open On 29 July 2022

July 27, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Pakistan Auto Show was established to give our industry a stage from which to present Pakistan’s capabilities and promise to the outside world. The whole auto engineering sector is together under one roof for the three-day event.

High-ranking members of the government, local and foreign buyers and manufacturers, producers of machinery, suppliers of raw materials, service providers, and much more may all be found at the event.

The Pakistan Auto Show 2022 (PAPS-22), which will be held at the International Expo Centre in Lahore on the 29th, 30th, and 31st of July 2022 with the theme “MADE IN PAKISTAN,” is all ready to enchant auto enthusiasts and well-known automakers with the display of their inventions.

In Pakistan, Have Toyota’s Days Come To An End?

July 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Toyota Indus is said to be ceasing automobile manufacture in Pakistan and may be required to reimburse advance payments made for reserved vehicles.
Toyota has earlier said that the major cause of the production hiccup was the restrictions on the LC permission for CKD (completely knocked down units) imports from the State Bank of Pakistan. In June and July, the corporation also noticed two weeks of idle manufacturing, which delayed production.

The business will probably soon make a formal announcement in this respect.

The predicament of Toyota IMC has given rise to rumours that suggest its time in Pakistan may be numbered.

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!

2023 Porsche 963 LMDh Racecar

June 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

In the biggest endurance races in the world, the Porsche Penske Motorsport team enters the brand-new Porsche 963 in search of overall victories. Two hybrid LMDh-spec prototypes will compete in both the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship starting in 2023.

The racing car, which had its public debut at Goodwood in England, is painted in the traditional Porsche racing colours of white, red, and black. Experienced prototype drivers who have won championships share the cockpits of the 500 kW (680 PS) race cars with seasoned professionals from Porsche’s works driver squad. Porsche Penske Motorsport works in two places to get ready for these missions: The FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship are handled by the branch in Mannheim, Germany.

We’re on a very good route after 7,889 test kilometres in the first half of 2022, but there is still work to be done before the start of the next season, says Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President of Motorsport.

“Our brand-new Porsche 963 should carry on the tradition of iconic cars like the 917, 935, 956, and 962 as well as the 919 Hybrid. I’m certain that we’ll be well-positioned technologically, and we’ve established the appropriate team structures to prepare us for success in the exciting competition between several manufacturers and various models.”

The Porsche 963 will make its official racing debut at the USA’s 24 Hours of Daytona in January 2023. In the interim, testing is permitted as a component of the 2022 world championship events, according to the FIA WEC. At the season-ending race in Bahrain in November 2022, Porsche Penske Motorsport hopes to do a non-competitive dress rehearsal.

According to Urs Kuratle, Director Factory Motorsport LMDh, “Over the past several months, our colleagues at Porsche Motorsport and Team Penske have matured into an effective and dedicated squad — the Porsche Penske Motorsport Team.” “In the four factory cars, we’ll have strong driver teams. The relationship we have with our dependable tyre supplier Michelin and the chassis maker Multimatic is perfect. This fall, the Porsche 963 should receive homologation. We want to continue moving forward with test drives till then and collect more knowledge. We are really eager for our first adventure.”

At its headquarters in Mooresville (North Carolina) and Mannheim, Porsche Penske Motorsport prepares a total of four 963s for the most significant sports car events in the world (Germany). The WEC site in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, was once Penske Automotive Porsche Center and was constructed to the highest industry standards. The data interchange between Porsche Penske Motorsport’s three high-tech centers happens practically instantly. In the fall of 2022, the WEC team will occupy the Mannheim space.

The Porsche 963 is built on an LMP2-category chassis to comply with LMDh rules. The Canadian high-tech firm Multimatic is the supplier of this newly created vehicle chassis. The common hybrid parts are provided by Bosch, Williams Advanced Engineering, and Xtrac. A 4.6-liter V8 Biturbo is the engine’s core component. The high-performance hybrid sports vehicle 918 Spyder serves as the foundation for the engine. Its ancestry may be traced back to the RS Spyder racing vehicle, which was driven to several victories between 2005 and 2008 by Porsche and Team Penske. The winning 956 and 962 classics from the 1980s are the design inspiration for the new Porsche 963. The distinguishing characteristic of the most recent 992-generation 911 is echoed by a continuous strip of illumination at the back.

(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.

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.
