Pakistan’s automobile industry posted a strong recovery in September 2025, with total car sales surging 67% year-on-year (YoY) and 22% month-on-month (MoM) to 17,174 units, according to data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) compiled by Topline Research.
The rebound was driven by lower interest rates, easing inflation, improved consumer confidence, and a more stable macroeconomic environment. During the first quarter of FY26, car sales reached 42,267 units, up 53% YoY from 27,585 units in the same period last year.
Honda Atlas Cars (HCAR) led the market with an 82% YoY and 2.15x MoM increase in sales, reaching 2,307 units in September.
Its City and Civic models recorded a 73% YoY and 2.8x MoM jump to 1,977 units, while BR-V and HR-V models rose 2.6x YoY but declined 12% MoM to 330 units. Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) followed with a 79% YoY and 26% MoM rise to 8,997 units, led by robust Alto, Cultus, Swift, and Ravi sales.
Sazgar Engineering (SAZEW) posted 73% YoY and 36% MoM growth to 1,429 units, driven by strong demand for its new Haval H6 PHEV model. Hyundai Nishat sales grew 56% YoY but fell 3% MoM to 1,175 units, while Indus Motor Company (INDU) reported 33% YoY growth and a 7% MoM dip to 3,152 units.
Sales of two- and three-wheelers reached 158,941 units, up 21% YoY and 7% MoM, with Atlas Honda achieving record sales of 136,000 units.
In contrast, tractor sales dropped 27% YoY and 21% MoM to 790 units, largely due to flood impacts and weak farm economics. However, truck and bus sales surged 2.6x YoY and 24% MoM to 824 units, marking an 88-month high and signaling a rebound in Pakistan’s heavy vehicle sector.
