Pakistani auto industry has been ruled by three main automakers for thepast three decades. One of the three automakers is Pak Suzuki Motor Company(PSMC).

For a long time, the automaker was known for offering cars that werecheaper than the competition and could fulfill the needs of the people on atight budget, but now the company seems to have lost its plot. Mostlybecause the automaker keeps on introducing multiple price hikes while notintroducing any new products or improving the current lineup.

The latest case in point is the price increase of the Suzuki APV. In thelatest update, it has been revealed that PSMC has increased the price ofthe APV by a massive Rs. 1,115,000 bringing its latest price up from Rs.3,460,000 to Rs. 4,575,000.——————————

The APV is sold in Pakistan as a CBU imported from Indonesia. Hence, it isone of the vehicles that become more expensive on arrival due to importedduties and taxes. The vehicle made its debut in Pakistan and foreignmarkets back in 2004, and there has not been any change in the vehicle eversince, apart from a few styling updates.

It bears mentioning here that at the price point, there are now betteroptions available in the market that offer much more value compared to a15-year-old minivan. For the same price or less, you can get a DFSK Glory580 or a Honda BR-V, both of which can accommodate seven passengers andoffer more features.

With that said, much like the rest of the expensive yet unexciting productsin the market, the days of the Suzuki APV might be numbered in Pakistan.
