On August 13, 2025, the Pakistan Automobile Manufacturing Association (PAMA) announced a 21.82% increase in car sales for July 2025, marking the first month of the 2025-26 financial year compared to July 2024. A total of 7,135 vehicles were sold, up from 5,857 units the previous year. This increase was driven by strong performances from key models, despite some declines in other areas
The sales data highlights varied trends:
- Honda Civic and City: Sales rose to 1,143 units from 790, a 44.68% increase.
- Toyota Corolla and Yaris: Sales surged 118.62% to 2,418 units from 1,106.
- Suzuki Swift: Sales grew 3.98% to 522 units from 502.
- Suzuki Cultus: Sales jumped to 239 units from 96.
- Suzuki WagonR: Sales dropped to 25 units from 139.
- Suzuki Alto: Sales fell 18.89% to 2,327 units from 2,869.
- Dewan Honri-VE (Electric Vehicle): 24 units sold in its debut month.
These figures indicate a mixed market, with significant growth in premium models countered by declines in budget segments.
The rise in sales is linked to improved consumer sentiment, driven by lower interest rates and a stable rupee. However, there was a notable 49% decline in sales from June’s total of 21,773 units, which can be attributed to pre-budget buying, indicating some market volatility, according to PakWheels. Furthermore, the introduction of the Dewan Honri-VE signifies a growing interest in electric vehicles, in line with global trends.

The 21.82% year-on-year growth indicates a recovery in Pakistan’s auto industry, although challenges such as supply chain issues and economic uncertainty remain. Analysts anticipate sustained momentum, driven by new model launches and the introduction of hybrid vehicles, which could further boost sales in FY2025-26. This data highlights the importance of strategic pricing to maintain consumer demand.
