Pak Suzuki increases car prices 'owing to mini-budget'

  • Company attributes hike to recent amendments passed by govt
Published January 19, 2022

Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) increased prices across its passenger car line-up, confirmed the company in a response to Business Recorder on Wednesday, attributing the hike to the recent ‘mini-budget’.

“Due to the recent mini budget, the government increased different taxes on almost all variants, so Pak Suzuki has increased only those taxes,” a company statement said.

“The Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) has requested concerned authorities for exemption with reference to pending orders up to date of approval of mini budget. A reply is awaited,” added PSMC, referring to deliveries that are being made currently.

Suzuki’s Cultus AGS variant saw the biggest hike of Rs150,000. Its price is now Rs2,422,000.

Following are the revised retail prices (exclusive of Advance Income Tax) of Suzuki vehicles:

Suzuki Alto

Alto VX saw a price hike of Rs32,000. The new price is Rs1,306,000 against the old one of Rs1,274,000.

The price of Alto VXR has increased by Rs38,000. The car now costs Rs1,546,000, compared to the old price of Rs1,508,000.

With a Rs43,000-hike, the price of Alto VXL/AGS has surged to Rs1,747,000 from Rs1,704,000.
