ISLAMABAD (Web Desk): Car sales in Pakistan jumped 39.85% while production surged 70.88% during the first four months of the financial year 2025-26, showing a strong rebound in the country’s auto industry.

According to the Pakistan Automobile Manufacturing Association (PAMA), from July to October 2025, a total of 42,831 cars were sold compared to 30,625 units last year. Meanwhile, car production increased from 29,977 units to 51,226 units.

Toyota Corolla and Toyota Yaris sales together rose sharply by 70.81%, reaching 11,368 units compared to 6,655 units last year. Honda cars also showed strong performance with a 37.11% jump, climbing from 4,424 units to 6,066 units.

Suzuki Swift remained the top performer, with its sales soaring by 128.51% from 1,999 units to 4,568 units. Hyundai Elantra sales also improved to 742 units from 308 units, while Hyundai Sonata grew by 14.68%, selling 227 units compared to 198 earlier.

Among small cars, Suzuki Cultus sales increased to 1,680 units from 629, and Suzuki Alto sales rose to 16,169 units from 12,723 units last year. PAMA also reported that 115 units of the newly launched “Dewan Honri-VE” electric vehicle were sold during this period.

Production figures tell a similar story of growth. Honda’s production rose 53.02% to 6,427 units, while Toyota Corolla and Yaris output increased 66.59% to 11,615 units. Suzuki Swift production grew 81.05% to 4,711 units, and Hyundai Elantra’s jumped to 1,152 units from 330 units.

Hyundai Sonata production climbed from 269 to 337 units, and Suzuki Cultus from 581 to 1,548 units. Suzuki Alto led the pack with a 105.64% rise in production, reaching 23,760 units compared to 11,554 units last year. Additionally, 95 units of the new “Dewan Honri-VE” were manufactured in July-October 2025.

The numbers show a clear recovery in Pakistan’s automobile sector after a sluggish period. Strong local demand, easing import issues, and new model launches have pushed sales up. However, rising costs and economic uncertainty may still test the industry’s sustainability in the coming months.
