Honda and Hyundai Announce Major Car Price Increases in Pakistan from July 2025

New Auto Price Hikes Affect Honda and Hyundai Models

Effective July 1, 2025, both Honda and Hyundai Pakistan have increased prices across key models following government tax changes and industry cost pressures.

Honda Price Adjustments (Up to Rs 201,000)

Honda Atlas Cars Pakistan implemented hikes ranging from Rs 47,000 to Rs 201,000 across popular models:

• Civic Turbo RS: from Rs 9,899,000 to Rs 10,100,000 (+Rs 201,000)

• Civic Oriel: from Rs 8,659,000 to Rs 8,834,000 (+Rs 175,000)

• BR-V 1.5 CVT S: from Rs 6,299,000 to Rs 6,429,000 (+Rs 130,000)

Hyundai Increases Prices (Up to Rs 631,000)

Hyundai Nishat Motors announced hikes in both passenger and commercial models:

• Porter (all variants): +Rs 46,000

• Elantra Hybrid: +Rs 286,000

• Tucson Hybrid: +Rs 221,000 to Rs 241,000

• Sonata Series: +Rs 210,000 (2.0), +Rs 340,000 (2.5), and +Rs 631,000 (Sonata N Line).

Key Reasons for the Price Hikes

1. NEV Adoption Levy: Introduced in Pakistan’s 2025-26 budget, this levy targets non-electric vehicles.

2. Currency Depreciation: The weakening rupee is adding to import costs.

3. Increased Duties and Freight: Higher taxes and shipping charges are pressuring the auto industry.

What This Means for Buyers

• Reevaluate Purchase Timing: Buyers looking to book before July should act quickly.

• Budget Adjustments Needed: Expect to pay an extra Rs 50,000–600,000 depending on the model.

• Monitor Future Changes: Industry experts warn that continued economic pressure may trigger more increases.

Conclusion

The mid-2025 price hikes from Honda and Hyundai reflect broader economic trends—new taxes, inflation, and a weaker rupee. For Pakistani car buyers, this means higher budgets, swifter purchasing decisions, and closer attention to market updates.
