Civic & City Sales Surge
Honda City and Civic, two iconic models, have taken center stage, and their combined sales performance is nothing short of impressive.

Car Sales Increase Last Month
The overall automotive industry in Pakistan has faced its share of challenges in recent times. However, there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Following the government's decision to ease import restrictions, the nation saw a marginal increase in car sales last month. Nonetheless, economic challenges continue to persist, and the automotive sector is not immune to the fluctuations in economic graphs.
According to the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) report, car sales increased by 10% in September 2023, with 8,312 vehicles sold, compared to 7,579 units in August. However, it's important to note that, when viewed year-on-year (YoY), car sales experienced a 26% decline. In September 2022, car manufacturers sold 11,288 vehicles, emphasizing the impact of the economic climate on the industry's performance.
Two-Wheelers Surge, Honda and Suzuki's Diverging Paths
Two-wheelers are a vital component of Pakistan's transportation landscape, and their sales have witnessed a significant surge as well. In September, two-wheeler sales increased by 22%, with 105,479 units sold, compared to 86,504 bikes in August. Notably, Japanese motorcycle maker Honda saw its sales rise substantially, with 95,056 bikes sold last month compared to 75,071 units in August. This remarkable surge underscores the enduring popularity of motorcycles in Pakistan, often considered an efficient mode of transportation.
On the other hand, Pak Suzuki experienced a decline in sales, with a 36% decrease. The company sold 1,096 units last month, compared to 1,722 in August. The diverging paths of Honda and Suzuki in the motorcycle market reflect the complex dynamics at play in Pakistan's automotive industry.
In conclusion, the resurgence of
Honda City and
Honda Civic in the sales charts is a testament to the enduring appeal of these iconic models. While the automotive industry is navigating economic challenges and fluctuations, the latest report from Honda Atlas provides a glimmer of hope and celebrates the success of these beloved vehicles in Pakistan. The broader industry, marked by both challenges and opportunities, continues to evolve as it adapts to the ever-changing economic landscape.
