Last year, the business started using social media to promote the GS3 subcompact crossover SUV. However, the business has been inactive on social media as well since May 2022.
According to credible market sources, All About Cars has found that SUPERPAK’s plans are presently in limbo as a result of the continued economic climate, local currency depreciation, tax rate increases, and import limitations from the State Bank of Pakistan for the automobile sector (SBP).
We made an attempt to get in touch with Ahmad to ask him about this news and are currently waiting for a response.
Launch Delays
Additionally, we just learnt that the introduction of the HR-V and Every Wagon, respectively, are being delayed by Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL) and Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC). Both businesses made suggestions that their new products might debut at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAS) in 2022.
All automakers have postponed the introduction of new vehicles as a result of these issues. The insider also said that until the current upheaval ends, which might not be until Q2, 2023, auto-sector activity will stay subdued.
