In a surprising move that sets it apart from major competitors, Sazgar Engineering has announced that it will not increase prices for its Haval vehicles, despite the new taxes introduced in the Federal Budget 2025–26.
While leading automakers like Pak Suzuki and Kia Lucky Motors have raised car prices in response to the recently imposed New Energy Vehicles (NEV) Adoption Levy, Sazgar has decided to absorb the cost of the new levy instead of passing it on to consumers.
In an official statement, Sazgar reaffirmed its commitment to customers, stating:
“As a responsible and customer-focused organization, Sazgar has always taken proactive steps to safeguard the interests of our valued Haval family.”
Industry Reactions
Pak Suzuki recently announced price hikes for its Alto, Cultus, and Swift models, while Kia has increased prices for Sportage, Picanto, and other vehicles, citing a rise in sales tax and additional levies introduced in the new fiscal policy.
Sazgar’s decision has been welcomed by consumers, as it not only offers relief in the face of rising inflation but also reinforces the company’s customer-first approach in a challenging market environment.
By maintaining current prices for Haval models, Sazgar positions itself as an outlier in Pakistan’s auto industry, standing firm on its commitment to affordability and value for customers.
