There is a for market for low end cheap cars. Not everything has to be fancy and technologically superior. United is one of the companies that broke the monopoly of the Japanese motorcycle industry in Pakistan by producing low priced clones. The motorcycle industry became cottage industry and production increased from a few hundred thousand to more than two million. They can do the same in the car industry. They know the consumers in that segment and already have the sales network. BTW seven years is good life for a car.

You need to update yourself with the price of cars in the market at moment. 1300CC cars by companies Suzuki, Honda and Toyata are going touching Rs 2 Million and beyond, while 800CC cars even like Mehran have exceeded Rs 0.8 Million and some have exceeded even Rs 1 Million, and their body structure is horrible, they don't have features presented in 1300CC cars. This car, although 800CC not only is way better than these other 800CC cars launched by Suzuki, who by the way are selling their cars overpriced thanks to the dominancy they hold in the market for 800CC cars which has a high demand and due to no competitors, but this car with these features is also a lot cheaper than these other options at Rs 0.8 million. This car is not meant to compete with the market of cars like Corolla, Honda and others, it's meant to compete with cars like Vitz, Mehran and Cultus and other such 800CC hatchbacks by Suzuki.

Toyota Vitz (Yaris), Suzuki Cultus (Celerio) and Suzuki Mehran are not in the same class.

Vitz and Cultus are well-equipped cars with 1000 CC engine minimum. Vitz, in particular, is robust and spacious.

The government should Set Guidelines what a Modem car should be. Take bidding. Mass produce it. Fufill our needs.

Log sexy headlights kay liye nayi gari Le rahe ha.

Fuzool kharchi ki intehai. 35 lac ki Honda Civic.

Dafuqs wrong with peepalz man

to qawaneen hone chaiye aur koi body honi chaiye jo is baat ka andaza laga sake kay konsa material forge karke behtar rahega for Pakistani climate.

There is a for market for low end cheap cars. Not everything has to be fancy and technologically superior. United is one of the companies that broke the monopoly of the Japanese motorcycle industry in Pakistan by producing low priced clones.

They know the consumers in that segment and already have the sales network. BTW seven years is good life for a car.

Government owned car manufacturing, and slap high taxes on all assembled and higher taxes on imported.

The Solution is to have laws as other countries have. even more so .

for example , All car dealers should should offer a 5 years drive train and body warranty. and 2 year rest of systems.

Any car that has been repaired under warranty more than 3 times for same or similar problem should be bought back by the manufacturing company.
Warranty is from the dealer not the manufacturer because dealers also sell imported cars. and used and reconditioned cars. They will work out themselves with the manufacturers how they will do it.

This can be implemented in stages like start with 2 years warranty to begin and the after 4 years extend the drive train and body to 4 years. Same should be extended to motorcycles.

This will weed out poor manufacturing practices

@ Verve Govt owned state owned companies are nothing but a drain on the people or you havent seen enough failed of those yet ? Steel mills / PIA / Railways /etc etc.

Second hand in a western country even that above the 8.5 lakh figure for a new Bravo

In Pakistan luxury cars have high taxes on them(as they should) so you wont see tjem at this price here

Start ups should start in the current day and age not 60 years in the history. If you don't compete with what's out there today, you are doomed from the get go. Adam motors also entered the market about 10 years ago with their Revo, where is that now?

This is where the (mid tier) tech is headed to

@MastanKhan what's your take on this, I am seriously thinking of buying this one.

Its actually a Pakistani car its design is registered in Pakistan lets not shit on start ups give it chance hope government gives it tax break and helps it grow so more companies make cars in Pakistan

Around the world governments give incentives/subsidies to encourage hybrid/electric vehicle use. It reduces the carbon foot print, reduces your dependence on oil imports and helps the environment. I think **** government should give incentive for making hybrid/full electric cars in Pakistan, it will bring new investment, new jobs and long term benefits for environment and oil import/consumption.

I have lost relatives to that dajjalic plague.

The state should sue Suzuki for deaths.

Suzuki mehran is not suppose to be driven on highway.
It's a car for commuting from home to school or work or local market or clinic.
If govt. is not controlling the type and condition of cars rolling on highways, than people should use their own head and avoid driving mehran type beyond 60-70km /hr. beyond that, it's most certain to die in case of accident.
