In recent years, import taxes and duties on Completely Built-Up (CBU) cars have increased significantly, with customs duties ranging from 1.3 million PKR (for cars under 800cc) to a staggering 7.5 million PKR (for cars above 1600cc). Given this scenario, purchasing a new imported car may not be a cost-effective option in 2024, leading you to consider locally-made vehicles. Here, we present the best locally assembled Completely Knocked Down (CKD) cars under 1000cc.
Suzuki Alto
The Suzuki Alto is among the most popular locally assembled cars in Pakistan, with sales of 66,427 units in 2022, marking a record for PSMC. It is favored for its excellent fuel efficiency, with a small 658cc R04 engine, lightweight 600 Kg body, and thin tires providing an economy of 20-25 Km/l.
In Pakistan, the base variant of the Alto, VX, is priced at 2.3 million PKR, while the top-of-the-line variant, VXL AGS, goes up to 3.0 million PKR.
The base model may still be considered affordable, given the prevailing inflation, making it the cheapest brand-new car available in Pakistan.
Pak Suzuki offers four variant options:
Pricing:
Alto VX | PKR 2,331,000/- |
Alto VXR | PKR 2,707,000/- |

Alto VXL-AGS | PKR 3,045,000/- |
Differences in Variants
