Pakistan’s automobile industry has undergone a major transformation in recent years, driven by rising consumer demand and investor confidence. Government incentives under the Auto Policy 2016–2021 encouraged global and local manufacturers to expand operations, making Pakistan one of the fastest-growing car markets in the region.
In 2016 alone, over 230,000 vehicles were sold nationwide. Since mid-2016, more than 150,000 cars and jeeps have been sold, while total vehicle sales—including buses, trucks, and tractors—exceeded 200,000 units. The market showed a strong annual growth rate of 10–15 percent.
Toyota, Suzuki, and Honda Dominate Sales

Honda City & Civic
Combined sales of Honda City and Civic reached 28,120 units, reflecting a 50 percent growth compared to the previous year, driven by the Civic’s new sporty design.
