List of Upcoming Cars Launches in Pakistan in 2017
Pakistan’s fresh five-year auto policy, announced by the Ministry of Finance, Government of Pakistan in March 2016, has proved to be a game changer as far as the automobile industry in Pakistan is worried. The fresh auto policy, Mumshad Ali – the chairman of Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers (Paapam), opined to be “narrowly focused on fresh entrants.” In the wake of fresh auto policy, Pakistan market predominated by the Japanese automobile companies: Suzuki, Toyota & Honda, experienced real competition by the fresh players in the market for the very first time. In attempts to update their portfolio against the upcoming competition, the local manufacturers have geared up for fairly a few car launches in 2017.
In the space below, we have compiled for you a list of cars expected to be launched in two thousand seventeen in Pakistan:
Cars By Suzuki
Suzuki Vitara (2017 Model Launched in Late 2016)
Launched in December 2016, Suzuki Vitara 2016-17 is a compact SUV and is now in its 4th generation the world over.
The 2016-17 Suzuki Vitara is available in two models. Vitara GLX is available for PKR Three,799,000 and the Vitara GL+ is available for PKR Three,490,000.
Vitara comes with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine which produces 118bhp at 6,000 revs. The USP of this product, as the company insists, is its weight. Weighing in at only one thousand one hundred eighty five kilos the Vitara is one of the lightest SUV’s on suggest. Its power to weight ratio stands in at one hundred four bhp/ton. The six speed Automatic transmission is enabled with a manual mode which permits the driver to have the manual switching sensation with the spanking paddle shifters tooled on the steering wheel. The infotainment system features Ten.1 inch touch screen with Android OS. The system also has the capability to connect to user’s mobile phone using Bluetooth and mirror link. The hi-spec Vitara also comes tooled with a panoramic sunroof which makes the drive even more pleasurable. Keyless entry is also enabled for the hi-spec variant along with automatic headlamps and wipers for driver’s convenience.
Suzuki Ciaz
Fairly similar to the fresh Honda City (2016-17), the very first generation Suzuki Ciaz comes with a 1400cc engine supported by a decent range of features. With a mileage of 20-28km/l, the car is touted as a competition to Toyota Corolla XLi and GLi. Ciaz offers two variants: petrol and diesel, with 20-28km/l fuel efficiency, 1.4L and 1.3L engine capacity, respectively. The car is expected to launch in February 2017 and has an expected price in the proximity of PKR Two,000,000.
Suzuki Celerio
Marketed as the replacement of Suzuki Cultus, Celerio is an affordable 1,000cc engine manual car which offers 5-speeds and resembles to Suzuki Swift in terms of the exterior. The car gives the mileage of ten to fourteen kilometers per liter, on average. The car is expected to launch in March two thousand seventeen and has an expected price around PKR 1,250,000 – 1,300,000 .
Cars By Toyota
Toyota Corolla 2017
Expected to be launched in Pakistan within the later half of 2017, Toyota’s fresh face lifted line-up of Corolla has been designed on the company’s fresh ‘Under Priority and Keen Look’ design language. The fresh Toyota Corolla provides a bolder facelift & athletic look, and offers a few mechanical upgrades including refined electrified steering and tweaked suspension system. The updated model comes in two variants of XLi (Basic and L.E), two variants of GLi (Manual and Automatic) and five variants of Altis.
The fresh Corolla line-up is rumored to proceed with the current engine and power train options, however, the exterior and interior will be all fresh. The expected price range across the variants is PKR 1,800,000 – Two,500,000.
Toyota Fortuner
For the two thousand seventeen model of Toyota Fortuner, the Indus Motor Company is all set to disclose this product’s details on a private event, which will be organized on 25th January, 2017. The fresh Fortuner will be priced at (ex-Factory) PKR Five,249,000 and will be a totally revamped vehicle. From bod works to its interior, the vehicle is being marketed to be suggesting fresh and modern facelift. However, the engine will remain the same; Two.7L 2TR-FE inline-4, DOHC with VVT-I.
A stand-out feature is that Toyota Fortuner is the only locally assembled SUV in Pakistan.
Cars By Honda
Honda BR-V
After the launch of the 10th generation Honda Civic last year, Honda Atlas has determined to take on Suzuki Vitara and Toyota Fortuner by the horns and is expected to formally announce the launch of Honda BR-V. The 1.5L engine BR-V is is expected to come standard with six speed CVT-i transmission, seven seats, keyless entry feature and roof railings.
Observing Vitara’s launch only a few weeks back and Fortuner launching in within a next few days, Honda’s teaser campaign at the website is a clear indicator of how the automobile sector is now shifting its concentrate towards the range of smaller SUV’s in Pakistan.
BR-V is rumored to be priced in the range of PKR Two.2-2.Five million, which – if true – can be a deep-throat to Vitara’s sales. and is expected to be launched before mid March this year.
Honda City
Okay, this one is downright off the rumor mill, and it works over the basic assumption that Suzuki introducing Ciaz could trigger Honda to launch a facelifted City to keep its dominance over the 1300cc range market. The two thousand seventeen model sixth generation City, supposedly, launching in Pakistan, is Honda’s 2nd model to incorporate the fresh “Titillating H” design which was very first seen on the third generation Honda Fit/Jazz that launched in September 2016.
Car By FAW
FAW B50
From the house of Al-Haj FAW Motors, the leading automotive supplier of Chinese brand FAW,
an extension in the base of operations is fairly imminent by the plans of stepping into the country’s Sedan market. The company is expected to introduce FAW B50 by mid of 2017.
Loaded with with a 1600cc Volkswagen engine and an automatic transmission, FAW B50 can be a raunchy competition to Honda’s City and Suzuki’s Ciaz, because FAW B30 is expected to be priced at PKR 1,500,000. Ciaz, and City, on the other mitt are at the meatier side of the price bracket.
Cars By Audi
Audi A5 Sportback
Suggesting the elegance of a coupé along with the versatility of an Avant, the Audi A5 Sportback is being described as the trimmed down Audi A7. Loaded with a Two.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinders, this car is aimed to cater the medium-higher end German sedan consumers. Priced at PKR 6,600,000, Audi A5 is expected to be launched in very first quarter of 2017.
Meantime, Kia and Renault have already announced setting up assembly plants in Pakistan, and Volkswagen, Fiat, Dacia & Nissan have voiced interest in coming in the Pakistan automobile market. It is safe to assume that the possibility of fresh entrants can persuade the existing auto-industry moguls to rethink their strategy.
The more is merrier, and in in terms of automobile choices, it is merrier with an M in caps!
