Everyone knows that the Toyota Yaris has been a huge success in Pakistan. In just a year, the automobile has surpassed the Corolla, Civic, and City as the most popular sedan. 

Apart from the other budget sedans, the Yaris has everything fans love about Toyota cars: a fuel-efficient engine, modern tech and safety features, parts availability, easy maintenance, and prompt delivery. Yaris' initial generation, designated XP10, was introduced in 1999. In 2005, it was discontinued. The global market was given sedan, hatchback, and coupe body options. In various countries, hatchback vehicles were referred to as Vitz.

In Pakistan, the Toyota Yaris 2022 costs between PKR 3,039,000 for the base GLI MT 1.3 and PKR 3,659,000 for the top-of-the-line ATIV X CVT 1.5.

Normal, Eco, and Sport are the three drive modes available on the top-of-the-line Toyota Yaris. These three modes allow you to control the power of your vehicle and achieve the desired performance.

The automobile is set to normal mode by default. By tapping the appropriate button, you can switch to Eco or Sport mode. This function is exclusively available on the Yaris; no other sedan, including the City, Alsvin, or Saga, has it.

The exterior of the Toyota Yaris 2022 is similar to that of the defunct Xli and GLi models, but it is a little more aggressive. The modest front grille, which has been seen on earlier Toyota models, is also present on the new Yaris. Only the top types include daytime running lights, half chrome plating, and fog lamps, while all others have four-beam halogen headlamps.

The Toyota Yaris 2022 has a modern and tidy cabin. Only the top four types have control switches on the steering wheel, which allow for tilting and adjustment. The steering wheel controls radio and Bluetooth in the 1.3L ATIV trims, as well as the top two models' multi information display (MID).

Two airbags and an immobiliser are included in the Yaris 2022 safety features. Vehicle safety control with traction control and hill start aid are among the vehicle's enhanced safety features. All variations include an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake force distribution (EBD) and brake assist. All variants come with a key reminder and a flash reminder warning.

In Pakistan, the Toyota Yaris 2022 faces a number of competitors, since many manufacturers provide sedans with the newest amenities, although the Proton Saga, Changan Alsvin, and Honda City are the market leaders.

The 6th generation City, which first appeared on the international market in 2014 and was replaced by the 7th generation the following year, in 2020, arrived in Pakistan in 2021. Consumers in Pakistan were unhappy because they expected the 7th generation to be released locally, but instead received the prior one. 

Honda City 2021 is now available for pre-order in five variants: Honda City 1.2 MT, Honda City 1.2 CVT, Honda City 1.5 CVT, Honda City 1.5 Aspire MT, and Honda City 1.5 Aspire CVT.

The standard 1.2L M/T variant of the Honda City 2022 costs PKR 3,264,000, while the top-of-the-line 1.5L ASPIRE CVT variant costs PKR 3,899,000.

With this new City model, Honda has gone all out. It has taken the City's dependability and given it a complete facelift, elevating it to the premium sedan market. The additional improvements will delight Honda City aficionados, who will be eager to get their hands on the new model. Honda is correct in asserting that the new City has not only arrived; it has thoroughly engulfed the city.

Dual Airbags, ABS with EBD, ECU Immobilizer, Rear Camera, and ISOFIX Compatible Rear Seats are standard on the new City. Impact Mitigation Headrest, ACE Body Structure, and Pedestrian Injury Mitigation Technology are three additional safety elements offered by Honda Pakistan in the new City that are not available from its competitors. In Pakistan, Honda produces EURO-4 emissions-standard engines, making our variations environmentally friendly.

In Interior the 9-inch Infotainment System is the first thing you notice, and no other automobile manufacturer in this segment offers a screen of this size. Cruise Control, Push Start System, ECON Driving Mode, One Touch Winker, and Multi Information Combination Meter were among the other fantastic options.

Electronic Power Steering with Mounted Audio Control and Tilt and Telescopic Steering are available from the manufacturer. These features make driving quite comfortable and simple, allowing you to fully enjoy the ride.

Moving on,  which boasts several remarkable and intriguing elements. First, there's Smart Entry, which includes a secure immobiliser. In two 1500cc variations, the business offers retractable door mirrors, a feature not found in any other car in this market. It also sports Alloy Wheels and Halogen Headlights with LED DRLs, giving the car a beautiful front end.

Honda has also included a High Ground Clearance (171.88mm) option in the automobile, making it ideal for local vehicles that require high ground clearance. Finally, the automobile features a large trunk with a capacity of 510 litres, making it ideal for family travel.

Swift has always stood out from other small cars thanks to its distinctive and sporty appearance. Swift provides more of everything while maintaining elegance and performance. Swift is a fun-loving, youthful, and dynamic vehicle. You'll enjoy the ride and your life more than you ever imagined possible with Swift.

Pak Suzuki announced the new Suzuki Swift as a "luxury hatchback" two months ago. The new 4th generation model took the place of the decade-old 3rd generation model in the market. Suzuki has sold 2,273 new Swifts so far, according to the PAMA auto sales report. 

By the end of February, Suzuki had opened reservations for the new Swift. That means Swift sold over 2,000 devices in March and April, a new high in the company's 11-year history of sales. From start to finish, the old Swift model only managed to sell 678 units in March and April of its first year (2010) and 536 units in March and April of its final year (2021).

Suzuki Swift has progressed from an entry-level hatchback to a luxury model. The new model offers a number of unexpected feature enhancements. 

Surprisingly, the Swift has nearly all of the features seen in international vehicles, which is another reason the owners choose this vehicle. Push start, cruise control, rear parking sensors, automatic LED headlights with height adjustment, digital climate control, 16-inch alloy wheels with Bridgestone tyres, steering controls, and more are included in the amenities. Six airbags, traction control, ABS brakes, hill start assist, and other safety features are included. Meanwhile, an armrest, mud flaps, and a rear spoiler are available as options.

As part of the latest price hike, Suzuki raised the costs of the recently released Swift. The new prices for three Swift models are listed below. The Swift GL Manual costs Rs. 2,774,000, the Swift GL CVT costs Rs. 2,998,000, and the Swift GLX CVT costs Rs. 3,298,000.

All three variations are available for booking at full price with a four-month delivery schedule.

Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL) has officially released the all-new Civic in Pakistan, making the compact sedan category in Pakistan significantly more intriguing. The new Civic was also unveiled in a digital launch, presented by Aamir H. Shirazi, President of Atlas Group, Hironobu Yoshimura, CEO of HACL, and Aamir Nazir, General Manager Sales and Marketing at HACL, who informed the audience about the vehicle's numerous features. 

Unlike the 6th generation Honda City, which was released last year, the 11th-generation Civic is the most recent model on the market, and it outperforms its competitors, such as the Toyota Corolla and Hyundai, in terms of performance and characteristics.

Customers can choose from three different Honda Civic models. RS, Oriel, and Standard The base variant and mid-level variants will be powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 127 horsepower (hp) and 180 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque and an M-CVT automatic transmission, with the base variant being a hardtop.

This time, all of their models are RS turbo; the Honda Atlas does not offer a naturally aspirated engine. A 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 176 horsepower and 220 Newton-meters of torque is connected to an LL-CVT automatic transmission in the top-tier edition. 

For safety, it has a Collision Breaking System that will break the vehicle if an obstruction comes in the way, lane assist, road departure warning, and lead car departure warning, but only two airbags for the occupants.

According to our market, the price difference between all of these Honda Civics is unreasonably large, but when we look at it globally, the corporation has maintained their rates here as well. The base variant costs 53.99 lakhs, while the Oriel variation costs 56.49 lakhs and the top-of-the-line RS variant costs 64.99 lakhs.

Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited has confirmed to Business Recorder on Tuesday that two higher-end variations of its 11th-generation Civic will be delivered in February 2023, a development that comes after the business debuted the new model earlier this month.

The 11-month delay applies to the Civic Oriel 1.5L (now priced at Rs5,399,000) and Civic RS 1.5L (currently priced at Rs6,149,000), while the'standard' Civic model is currently scheduled for delivery in August. "We're informing our clients that the delivery times for the two high-end variants are February next year, but we're also informing them that there may be a price change by then," a dealership told Business Recorder on condition of anonymity.

According to papers accessible with Business Recorder, the booking fee for the Civic base variation is presently Rs1 million, rising to Rs1.1 million for the Oriel and Rs1.2 million for the Turbo models. The news is surprising because the business, which is publicly traded, just launched its next-generation Civic earlier this month. 

Dealers warned the lengthy delivery time might stymie sales in a market that is becoming increasingly competitive due to the introduction of numerous other vehicles in the same price range, as well as turn off customers who may face a "significant price hike" by then. Honda Atlas has revealed the 'tentative' prices for the Civic 2022. In Pakistan, Honda Atlas had previously discontinued its 10th Generation Civic.

However, when it comes to Pakistan's automotive industry in general, and the motorbike industry in particular, the situation is rather different and also seems to be like in a dilemma. Honda is a daily ridden motorcycle and leading bike manufacturers in Pakistan built by Honda of Japan. It has been manufactured in Pakistan since 1992. 

The Honda 125 was first produced in Japan, but in 1985. Honda 125 has a single-cylinder, four-stroke, 124 cc engine with overhead valves. Atlas Honda Ltd continues to produce the Honda CG125. Except for a few cosmetic changes, the Pakistani version of the CG125 has remained virtually unchanged since its introduction in the 1980s, and people continue to buy it because the CG engine was developed specifically to address the issue of harsh use of this small but powerful engine. 

As Honda realised that riders in developing countries performed little or no maintenance. The CG125 has overhead valves with push-rods, a washable foam air filter, and a fully enclosed chain to make it more reliable with minimum maintenance. The exterior decorations, as well as the seat and indicator clusters arrangement, have been overhauled to offer this long-lasting model a new look. 

Honda has ruled and still ruling in Pakistan’s Motorbike Industry but now advancements and good things are coming. As world is focusing more on eco and environment friendly technologies the main producer and distributor in Pakistan is Atlas Honda Ltd, a joint venture between Honda Motor Company and Atlas Group Pakistan focuses on Euro 2 technology, which still results in significant CO2 emissions and dirty air, rather than the European Union's normal requirements, which range from Euro 3 through Euro 4 and Euro 6. 

Another joint venture with a reputable Japanese company, Pak Suzuki Motor Company, is the country's largest vehicle producer and one of the leading motorbike manufacturers. The business continues to produce 125-150 cc motorcycles that are ideal for city streets. It has, however, recently begun to develop and distribute several lower-emission vehicles.

This problem can be solved if the government adopts an auto policy that encourages motorcycle producers to develop in-house products with improved engine technology and suitable features.   Technology and innovation are in high demand, and the Pakistani motorcycle industry has a lot of room to grow in a short period of time by focusing on affordable yet advanced bikes.

On the other hand, people who criticise these mafias end up buying these motor vehicles because they know prices will and have increased like past and they buy for investment point of view because Pakistan is the only country where vehicles prices will increase no matter how old the car is also there is no check and balance of old and wrecked up cars and there is no surety whether vehicles should be on the road or not.

Pakistani Automobile industry always make fool out of people and also cannot justify their prices, instead you can buy a fully optional and comfortable car in almost half of the prices what these 3 monopolistic companies are offering. Also these companies don’t want Government to allow import of these vehicles because people prefer JDM model cars upon locally assembled cars.

To fill out these gaps Proton, MG, and Volkswagen are among the automakers that have yet to begin production and could have a major impact on the local vehicle industry. Meanwhile, KIA, Hyundai, Changan, and Prince DFSK have already made waves in the market due to the fact that they have manufactured and delivered cars among which are Changan Alsvin, Kia Sportage, DFSK Glory, Hyundai Alantra, and Sunata are making their names in Pakistan. 

Pakistan is a paradise on earth for local assemblers because the government imposes no limitations or causes any issues. Prices can be raised at any time, consumers are required to pay in full up front, deliveries are made in 4 to 6 months, and local assemblers can take advantage of unlimited black market and duty exemptions.

To overcome this monopoly more new competitors in the automobile sector should be encouraged to enter the market, and used car imports should be opened on a commercial scale to put this business under regulation as well. This will provide a level playing field for all stakeholders, including the Pakistani customer, who will be able to purchase a vehicle of his choice and affordability, which is currently unavailable to him.

In addition, the Pakistani government and the Supreme Court should establish an accountability sector for automobile industries in order to restrict the rising rates of these vehicles, which are increasing every year despite no big upgrades or additions compared to previous models of vehicles.

Suzuki Mehran was first introduced to the Pakistani market in 1989, with a selling price of PKR.90,000 and was sold for about PKR 860000.in 2019. Boss has ruled in Pakistani market for about 32 years Despite the lack of basic safety features like airbags, ABS, rear window defogger, side air conditioner vents, seat belt reminder, and even rear seat belts.

Seat belts for the front row were initially placed in the mid-2000s. Aside from the suspension system, which was built on a low-cost, the car had stayed virtually unchanged throughout its 32-year production run, with no substantial interior or exterior changes.

In 2013, Pak Suzuki released a Euro-II Mehran, representing the only significant update in Mehran's 30-year history. The carburetor engine was replaced with an Electronic Fuel Injection System in this facelift variant of Suzuki Mehran Pakistan. Other minor changes included a new front radiator grille, crystal lights, and a few body modifications.

Suzuki Mehran experienced strong sales throughout its existence. According to data, Suzuki Mehran sold 35,526 units in 2007-08, compared to only 13,421 in 2008-09. The release of the Euro-II model in 2013 helped to stabilise Suzuki Mehran Pakistan's sales.

The company has sold around 29,000 units per year since then. In April 2019 Suzuki announced that the famous hatchback would be phased out of production in replace of 8th generation Alto in Pakistan. However, it did sell the units that had already been built for the next year until June 2020. People are still looking for used Suzuki Mehran prices in Pakistan, and used Mehran car prices in Pakistan are still inexpensive.

The car was first sold for Rs. 90,000 32 years ago, and the last sale price for the VX model was Rs. 825,000 in February of 2019. That's a huge 817 percent increase in price.

Mehran remained and ruled like a boss and a highly sought-after car for the most of its manufacturing years, despite the moderate but steady increase in price. Now we have to wait and see can Alto be the next Boss of Pakistani Automobile Industry or Not.
