Pakistan needs quality cars at affordable prices. Pakistan should cancel the contract/permit for Pakistan Suzuki. It has been providing very low quality cars on exuberant prices. Pure and simple theft.
Any company which does not provide similar specs available in the world should not be allowed to operate in Pakistan.
There is no point companies moving their obsolete production plants to Pakistan to produce substandard and yester years cars for the Pakistan at very high prices.

In what world are BMWs affordable? Their basic sedan 300 series is roughly 40,000 USD.

We don't have that many rich people who will form a sizeable enough market for BMW.

Doubt it,

Audi was planning to make an entry back in 2016 but I believe the government rejected their entry because instead of setting up local supply chains they only wanted to import 90% completed cars, throw the doors on and call it day.

I thought it's already well established in Pakistan.

If memory serves, it was with Dewan Motors and was located Schön Circle, adjacent to Agha's Super.

My dad worked for BMW (UAE) from 1991 to 2018 and was offered a job from Dewan Motors, but for some reason he just didn't trust 'em.

Don’t just import them, making them here would be beneficial for us.

A very fair request. Audi has a showroom here in Lahore though.

Dewan are just importers. They have a showroom here on Davis Road in Lahore. What is probably being talked about is setting up assembly/manufacturing.

If mention of Suzuki substandard cars produced in Pakistan on old assembly plants wasn't a clear enough clue.

What is the latest on Proton cars? Protons will be more affordable for Pakistani's than bmw's.

Saga is being tested ahead of introduction. Al-Haj is the local partner.

Word is that the Saga will introduced by Proton’s local partner Al-Haj Automotive initially as CBU import from Malaysia, before local assembly kicks off in 2021. In April 2019, Proton and Al-Haj signed a licensing and technical assistance agreement related to the building of a factory in Karachi to assemble Proton cars there.​

​

Then, it was announced that the Karachi plant will be built on a greenfield site with an initial investment of US$30 million (RM124 million). Operations are expected to start before the end of 2020. (Source)​
