Pakistan’s auto industry showed mixed results in November 2025, as car sales fell compared to the previous month but remained much higher than last year.
Data released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association showed that total car sales dropped by 11 percent, declining from 17,333 units in October to 15,442 units in November.
The monthly fall highlights ongoing challenges for the sector, including high car prices, high interest rates, and cautious spending by buyers.
Leading carmakers such as Toyota Indus, Pak Suzuki, Hyundai Nishat, and Honda Atlas all reported lower sales compared to the previous month, pointing to weak short-term demand.
Despite the overall decline, some models continued to perform well. Cars like the Toyota Corolla Cross, Suzuki Swift, and Honda City remained popular due to strong brand trust, better availability, and relatively good resale value.
On a yearly basis, however, the situation looked much more positive. PAMA data showed that car sales increased by 51.9 percent compared to November 2024. This growth reflects a recovery from last year’s very low sales, which were affected by import restrictions, supply issues, and economic uncertainty.
A total of 15,442 cars were sold in November 2025, compared to 10,163 units in the same month last year, indicating gradual improvement in the industry.
Pak Suzuki Motor Company led the market with sales of 6,615 units, keeping its strong position in the small and affordable car segment. Toyota Indus followed with 3,833 units sold, while Honda Atlas recorded sales of 2,609 vehicles during the month.
In the SUV and hybrid segment, Sazgar Engineering sold 1,107 Haval vehicles, while Hyundai Nishat Motors recorded sales of 1,001 units, showing continued demand for crossovers and compact SUVs.
The motorcycle and three-wheeler segment also performed well, posting a 37.6 percent increase compared to last year. This growth reflects rising reliance on two-wheelers due to higher fuel prices and affordability concerns.
According to PAMA data, Honda Atlas Motorcycles remained the market leader, selling 140,382 units in November and maintaining its top position.
Although the month-on-month decline points to short-term pressure, the strong year-on-year growth suggests that Pakistan’s auto industry is slowly recovering. Experts believe that continued economic stability, lower interest rates, and better supply conditions will be key to sustaining growth in the coming months.
