Amazing cars launching in Pakistan in 2021

The new entrants in the industry have increased the choices for local buyers and as a result, after years, Pakistan got new vehicles other than ‘Big Three’. Hence, even more, cars are expected this year as the year moves on.

Over the past few years, Pakistan’s automobile sector has witnessed an eruption of choices. This is because previously Pakistanis were stuck with three Japanese brands namely Suzuki, Toyota, and Honda, who ruled the industry with exorbitant prices and largely low-quality products.

The change is welcomed, so let us see what models of cars would be launching in Pakistan by the end of the current calendar year, 2021.

It must be mentioned that Hyundai Elantra and Proton Saga have already been launched.

KIA Cerato:

Now the brand is all set to bring its highly popular KIA Cerato to the Pakistan market. In November last year, the sedan was spotted in Karachi.
