The Suzuki Alto remains the most popular vehicle in Pakistan in March.

The year-to-date tally is now up 77% to 54.764. Note March 2021 volumes are down -9% on March 2019 pre-pandemic figures. Brand-wise, Suzuki (+280.1%) outpaces the market but its market share, at 48.8% is weaker than year-to-date at 51.3%. Toyota (+158.2%) can’t match the market growth rate but delivers a strong 32.2% share vs. 30.2% so far this year. Honda (+101.6%) is even weaker at 15.1% share while Hyundai (+803.8%) and JAC (+662.5%) shoot up.
