Pakistan’s Biggest Car Year Since 2022: 45 Launches, Facelifts, and Reveals of 2025

2025 turned out to be one of the strongest years for car launches in Pakistan in recent memory.

It marked the largest wave of launches since 2022, driven by relative economic stability, easing import conditions, and renewed confidence among automakers.

As the year comes to a close, we’re continuing our annual PakWheels tradition of the “Cars Wrap” — a complete roundup of every car that launched, was unveiled, or received a facelift in 2025.

This list includes locally assembled (CKD) models, fully imported (CBU) vehicles, facelifts, and unveilings with prices yet to be announced.

Quick Stats: Cars Wrap 2025

• Total cars covered: 45

• 21 CBU (imported) models

• 14 CKD (locally assembled) models

• 5 facelifts of existing vehicles

• 5 unveiled models (prices not announced yet)

Together, these make up the most comprehensive record of Pakistan’s 2025 automotive activity.

Here’s the detailed list of all the cars, starting from January 1st to the present date. We’ll keep adding newly launched cars in this list until December 31st:

JAC T9 Hunter 

Launch Price: Rs. 9,750,000

Launch Date: January 8th, 2025

The year started with a solid addition to the pickup market, which was untouched by other companies before. Still, JAC decided to take the risk and introduced the T9 Hunter with a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine. 

At the time, its biggest selling point was being the cheapest diesel truck you could buy. Although JAC later introduced the even cheaper FRISON 2X, the Hunter is the one that kicked off the momentum.

Hyundai Sonata N-Line

Launch Price: Rs. 15,890,000

Launch Date: January 12th, 2025

If you need speed, this was the highlight of the year. The Sonata N-Line claimed the crown as the fastest brand-new car assembled in Pakistan. While it certainly isn’t cheap, relative to the market, it offers incredible value if compared with German performance giants like the BMW M-series or the Mercedes-AMG line. 

This sedan comes with a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine that produces 290 hp, taking it from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds, and has a good engine growl in the exhaust, boosted by artificial sound inside the cabin through the speakers. The interior is also plush, with leather throughout the cabin and all the tech goodies you’d expect from a D-segment flagship.

Kia Sportage L 

Launch Price: Rs. 12,850,000

Launch Date: February 6th, 2025

The long-awaited upgrade from the old 4th-generation Sportage finally arrived this year. This new generation of hybrids is a considerable step up in tech. 

The price was definitely higher than before, but given the massive improvements and the hybrid engine, it justifies the jump for many buyers looking for a Korean crossover SUV with a HEV powertrain. 

Kia EV9 

Launch Price: Rs. 43,200,000

Launch Date: February 6th, 2025

Launched the same day as the Sportage L, this electric SUV is a complete head-turner thanks to its exterior, which looks like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie. Since it is a fully imported unit, the ex-factory price exceeds Rs. 4 crore, placing it in the ultra-premium category.

GuGo Box 

Launch Price: Rs. 7,500,000

Launch Date: February 6th, 2025

The GuGo Box was the first all-electric B-segment hatchback in Pakistan. While cheaper options like the GuGo GiGi or Honri Ve were already available, they belong to the micro-category: cars much smaller in size with a lower range. The GuGo Box steps in to bridge that gap, and it could be a good choice for buyers who want a proper, standard-sized hatchback rather than a micro-vehicle.

MG HS Trophy Facelift 

Launch Price: Rs. 8,399,000

Launch Date: February 10th, 2025

Initially introduced in 2020, the HS established a strong reputation through offering high-tech features like ADAS, a turbo engine, and an impressive interior in the compact SUV segment at an aggressive price point. It was arguably one of the few vehicles that demonstrated the potential of new Chinese entrants. Later, in December 2022, MG began local assembly of the HS. By February, the company unveiled a facelift with cosmetic updates and a new interior color option, dubbing it the “Trophy” variant. This is now the sole variant offered in the MG HS lineup.

Jetour Dashing and Jetour X70 Plus 

Launch Price of Jetour Dashing: Rs. 8,295,000 and Jetour X70 Plus: Rs. 8,495,000

Launch Date: February 20th, 2025

United Motors made a comeback in the passenger car space with the launch of the Jetour Dashing and Jetour X70 Plus. Both models use a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine and come loaded with all the modern features you would expect from a competitive Chinese brand today.

These launches were noteworthy given the context. While United Motors’ earlier attempts with the Alpha and Bravo faced challenges regarding build quality, the Jetour models are distinct products from a separate company (Chery’s group in China) introduced by United in Pakistan, ensuring no such issues with build quality and reliability.

Isuzu D-Max 

Launch Price: Rs. 12,975,000

Launch Date: March 24th, 2025

Following the arrival of JAC’s diesel pickup earlier in the year, ISUZU entered the market with the 3rd generation D-Max. ISUZU’s older 2nd-generation D-Max couldn’t succeed in the market for various reasons. Still, this new generation tried to resolve those issues and brought much-needed competition to a segment long dominated by a single player.

Dongfeng Box 

Launch Price: Rs. 6,800,000

Launch Date: April 11th, 2025

In reality, this was essentially the exact vehicle as the GuGo Box, as both are based on the same international model, the Nammi 01. Although there are minor changes between them, the backbone remains the same.

What made the launch enjoyable was the competition. Shortly after Chawla introduced the Dongfeng Box, pricing pressure intensified, prompting a noticeable adjustment from its competitor, GuGo, which dropped the price of its BOX just days after the Dongfeng’s launch.

Hyundai Tucson Hybrid 

Launch Price: Rs. 11,999,000

Launch Date: April 13th, 2025

After years of anticipation, Hyundai finally introduced the 4th-generation Tucson with a hybrid powertrain. This was more than just a generational update; it marked Hyundai’s serious entry into the hybrid SUV market in Pakistan. The new model offered better efficiency, advanced technology, and a clear step up from the 3rd-generation, naturally aspirated 2.0-liter model.

Suzuki Alto Facelift 

Launch Price: Rs. 3,140,000

Launch Date: April 18th, 2025

The Alto received a minor refresh. Suzuki added power windows with pinch protection, Hill Hold Control (HHC) on AGS trims, airbags, ABS, EBD, a rear chrome grille across all trims, and other changes. Read the blog we linked Please reador the launch date and more details.

Haval H6 Facelift 

No price increase

Launch Date: April 30th, 2025

GWM updated the H6, focusing on exterior tweaks and a few interior refinements while keeping the price unchanged. This decision was significant in a market where facelifts often arrive with hefty premiums. By holding the line on pricing, the brand earned goodwill and reinforced the H6’s value proposition in the mid-size SUV category.

Kia Sorento 

Launch Price: Rs.15,999,000

Launch Date: May 10th, 2025

Kia raised the bar with the new 4th-generation Sorento, delivering a clear upgrade over the previous model. This one came with three options: 3.6-liter V6, 1.6-liter FWD HEV, and the top-spec 1.6-liter AWD HEV.

Inverex Xio

Launch Price: Rs. 4,999,000

Launch Date: May 16th, 2025

Inverex surprised many by stepping into the EV space with the Xio, a tiny electric hatchback even smaller than the Alto. Known primarily as a solar and energy solutions company, Inverex’s move into electric mobility reflected the fact that EVs are attracting players from outside the traditional auto industry.

Honda HR-V e: HEV 

Launch Price: Rs. 8,999,000

Launch Date: July 14th, 2025

After years of speculation and countless rumors, Honda finally delivered the hybrid HR-V. Branded as e: HEV, this version marked Honda’s first locally assembled hybrid compact SUV.

BYD Shark 6

Launch Price: Rs. 19,950,000

Launch Date: July 25th, 2025

The BYD Shark 6 is the country’s first-ever plug-in hybrid pickup truck. It represents a shift in a segment traditionally dominated by rugged diesel engines, offering a more sophisticated, lifestyle-oriented alternative for buyers who can afford it. However, the nearly Rs. 2 crore price bracket places it firmly in a niche buyer segment.

Riddara RD6 

Launch Price: PKR 16,999,000 

Launch Date: July 26th, 2025 

The Riddara RD6 is Pakistan’s first-ever all-electric pickup truck, challenging the decades-long dominance of diesel and petrol engines in the segment. It is curated for a new breed of urban adventurers who need the utility of a flatbed truck in an all-electric option. That said, its pricing positions it squarely for a very specific, premium audience.

Haval H6 PHEV 

Launch Price: PKR 12,895,000 

Launch Date: July 28th, 2025 

After the H6 HEV, Sazgar introduced the PHEV trim for the H6. It’s also a locally assembled option, with a good 19 kWh battery and a lot of hi-tech goodies you’d expect from a competitive Chinese brand.

Peugeot 2008 Facelift 

Launch Price: PKR 7,799,000

Launch Date: August 1st, 2025 

The 2008 Facelift is the “French boutique” option in the market, favoring European flair and high-street fashion over raw utility. The facelift changes were mainly on the exterior, with a few on the interior as well.

Omoda E5 and Jaecoo J6 

Launch Price of Omoda E5: Rs. 8,900,000 and Jaecoo J6: Rs. 10,799,000

Launch Date: August 1st, 2025

On August 1st, Chery’s export brands entered Pakistan under the Nishat Group. They started with two all-electric imported models, the Omoda E5 and the Jaecoo J6. Both added fresh options to the growing local electric SUV market.

Changan Karvaan Facelift 

Launch Price: Rs. 3,299,000

Launch Date: August 6th, 2025

Changan gave its 7-seater some minor upgrades, mainly for commercial use. The facelift included black accents on the headlights and, more importantly, ABS and airbags. These additions increased the price by Rs. 200,000, but it is still the cheapest 7-seater MPV available with a 1.0L+ engine and these essential safety features.

Forthing Friday 

Launch Price: Rs. 10,999,000

Launch Date: August 14th, 2025

This marked Capital Smart Motors’ entry into the Pakistani market. The Forthing Friday holds the title of the first officially launched REEV (Range Extended Electric Vehicle) in Pakistan. Basically, if you don’t know what a REEV is, it is similar to a PHEV, but with one key difference: only the electric motors drive the wheels, while the engine works solely as a generator to charge the batteries.

Although the Nissan Note e-Power was available in the market before Friday, it also featured a REEV powertrain, but it arrived via private imports rather than through an official company launch like this one.

JMEV Elight

Launch Price: Rs. 9,999,999

Launch Date: September 2nd, 2025

Another offering from Capital Smart Motors, the JMEV Elight grabbed attention as the country’s cheapest all-electric sedan. It is a C-segment car similar in size to a Toyota Corolla but fully electric. JMEV is a new name in the Pakistani market, but before arriving here, it had already launched in markets of China, Europe, and Singapore.

Honda City Aspire S  

Launch Price: Rs. 6,149,000

Launch Date: September 5th, 2025

Honda refreshed the City with a light facelift, branding it the ‘Aspire S,’ with a focus on minor visual and feature updates. These additions included new color options, a new emblem, a rear spoiler, a new alloy wheel design, and other changes. Read the blog we linked to for the launch date and more details.

ZEEKR 009, ZEEKR X, and ZEEKR 7X 

Launch Price of ZEEKR 009: Rs. 48,999,000, ZEEKR X: Rs. 18,990,000 and ZEEKR 7X: Rs. 26,990,000

Launch Date: September 29th, 2025

One of the year’s most headline-grabbing launches came from Capital Smart Motors with the introduction of ZEEKR. The flagship 009 MPV became the most expensive Chinese vehicle ever launched in Pakistan, drawing comparisons to ultra-luxury brands due to its design, performance, and interior experience. 

Launched alongside it were the ZEEKR X and 7X, premium compact and mid-size SUVs that showcased the brand’s range and ambition. Notably, the 7X holds the title of the fastest brand-new Chinese car officially launched in Pakistan.

JAC T9 FRIXON 2X 

Launch Price: Rs. 8,775,000

Launch Date: October 9th, 2025

Later in the year, JAC returned to the spotlight with the FRIXON 2X. Built on the same platform as the earlier Hunter but configured as a 4×2 instead of a 4×4, the FRIXON 2X undercut its sibling to become the most affordable diesel passenger truck available. While minor cosmetic tweaks differentiated it, the real story was its pricing and accessibility.

Hyundai Elantra 2.0 Limited Edition 

Launch Price: Rs. 6,850,000

Launch Date: October 10th, 2025

Hyundai brought back the Elantra in a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated form, targeting buyers seeking a sedan without stretching into higher price brackets. Positioned against sedans like the City and Yaris, this version focused on simplicity and value rather than hybrid technology or turbocharging.

Deepal S05 

Launch Price: Rs. 9,999,000

Launch Date: October 31st, 2025

The Deepal S05 marked a historic moment as Pakistan’s first locally assembled REEV. Previous REEVs in the market were all imported units, but Deepal confirmed that S05 deliveries would consist of locally assembled units.

AION UT and V 

Launch Price of AION UT: Rs. 8,499,000 AION V: Rs. 12,990,000

Launch Date: November 6th, 2025

GuGo expanded its electric portfolio with two upper-budget models. The UT catered to buyers looking for an upper-segment electric hatchback, while the V targeted the electric SUV audience.

Price not revealed

Launch Date: November 7th, 2025

At PAPS, Chery unveiled the Tiggo 7, 8, and 9 as plug-in hybrid SUVs. While prices were not announced, the reveals hinted at Chery’s long-term strategy to cover multiple SUV segments with electrified options. Chery states that these three models will be launched next year, along with pricing and booking details, and, most importantly, they will be locally assembled.

Deepal E07

Launch Price: 19,000,000

Launch Date: November 11th, 2025

Deepal E07 (dubbed the “E-Transformer”) is a unique mix of a crossover SUV and a pickup truck. In simple language, it’s a body of a crossover SUV with a bed like a pickup truck. It was unveiled a few days before the PAPS, and the price was revealed during the PAPS event.

Deepal K50 Hunter 

Launch Price: Not Yet Disclosed 

Launch Date: November 11th, 2025

The K50 Hunter is the first-ever REEV pickup truck in Pakistan. Unlike traditional diesel vehicles like the Hilux Revo or D-Max, the Hunter appeals to a new generation of buyers who demand the rugged capability of a body-on-frame truck, paired with the smoothness and efficiency of a PHEV.

MG U9 

Launch Price: Rs. 23,949,000

Launch Date: November 13th, 2025

MG surprised everyone at the PAPS Auto Show by unveiling a 2.5-liter turbo diesel pickup truck. The twist? Unlike the Revo or D-Max, which use a rigid “ladder-frame” chassis, the U9 is built on a unibody chassis. If you want to know the difference between the two chassis, we’ve linked this guide for your convenience.

Wuling Binguo 

Launch Price: Rs. 5,999,000 

Launch Date: November 14th, 2025

Alongside the truck, MG also unveiled this compact electric hatchback. It competes directly with the GuGo Box and Dongfeng Box. One interesting fact we would like to tell you is that in China, the Binguo is made by Wuling, which is owned by SAIC Motor, the same parent company that owns MG. This explains why they are being showcased under the same umbrella.

Suzuki Fronx 

Price not revealed

Launch Date: November 14th, 2025

After a long time, Suzuki unveiled a new addition to its portfolio at PAPS: the Fronx. Although currently just an unveiling, the company hasn’t launched it yet. But when it’s launched, it will be Suzuki’s first-ever locally assembled SUV in Pakistan. Not just that, it will feature mild-hybrid technology, marking the brand’s first entry into the hybrid segment, and it will be the most expensive option in Suzuki’s local lineup.

Jaecoo J7 PHEV

Launch Price: Rs. 9,999,000

Launch Date: October 21st, 2025

Following the J6, the brand introduced the J7, a PHEV SUV designed to target hybrid competitors in the sub-10-million-rupee price bracket. The most notable aspect of this model is its assembly: the J7 is Jaecoo’s first-ever locally assembled vehicle in Pakistan, a strategic move that has enabled highly competitive pricing.

Dongfeng 007 

Launch Price: PKR 13,900,000 

Launch Date: November 15th, 2025 

007 (launched internationally as the eπ 007) is an all-electric D-segment flagship-level electric vehicle from Chawla Green Motors, which also launched Dongfeng BOX earlier this year. It competes with BYD Seal and, yes, not to forget about its scissor doors, which are the showstopper.

Alektra Metro

Launch Price: Rs. 1,295,000

Launch Date: November 27th, 2025

It’s more of a quadricycle than a passenger car; it occupies a unique niche for urban commuters, students, and small families looking for a weather-protected alternative to motorcycles or aging used hatchbacks.

AVATR 11

Price not revealed

Launch Date: December 20th, 2025

Just yesterday, Changan unveiled its flagship brand, AVATR, in Pakistan, launching its first model, the ’11.’ This super-luxury, mid-size electric SUV is built on the CHN (Changan + Huawei + CATL) architecture and features Huawei’s proprietary DriveONE iTRACK 800V system for ultra-fast charging. In fact, with a supercharger, you can add 200 km of range in just 10 minutes.

Besides these goodies, the vehicle offers an impressive range of 680 km (NEDC) or 578 km (WLTP). It is packed with a jaw-dropping list of high-tech and luxury features, including Nappa leather interior, three screens, 25 Meridian speakers, and massive 22″ rims with Brembo brakes.

Interestingly, the model name ’11’ is pronounced ‘One-One,’ not ‘Eleven,‘ because Changan says it’s a one-of-a-kind vehicle and hence they name it ‘One-One.’

Verdict
