Only sales of locally-produced models are available monthly in Pakistan, giving us an insight into what should form roughly 80-90% of the overall Pakistani market given very high import taxes prevent a significant amount of foreign new cars from rolling into the country. 19.176 locally-produced light vehicles found a buyer in Pakistan in April, a 57% year-on-year jump lifting the year-to-date total to 75.388 units, up 47% on 2014. Below the Toyota Corolla still very solid at 28.2% share and doubling its sales year-on-year, the Suzuki Bolan soars 182% to 2nd place with 3.248 units while its pickup twin the Ravi is up an equally impressive 176% to 3.147 sales in 3rd position. Seems like a price readjustment has unlocked significant sales potential for these two models that have been around for decades, giving Suzuki a welcome sales surge.
