The only Peugeot 2008 crossover in the country, Peugeot Lucky Motor Corporation (PLMC), has resumed taking orders despite having announced a price increase of Rs. 500,000.
The company states that a car is available for reservation with a delivery date of March 2023.
It is important to remember that on Friday, KIA Lucky Motors stopped taking reservations for any of its cars, and shortly after that, PLMC stopped taking orders for Peugeot 2008.

According to the company’s official statement, “We are forced to temporarily postpone the bookings of all Kia vehicles due to the recent substantial fluctuation of the US Dollar versus the Pakistani Rupee.” We want to be clear that we’ll keep making reservations once the USD/PKR exchange rate has stabilized.
The cycle of price increases through 2023 is currently in full force. By increasing the price of its lone crossover Peugeot 2008 versions, the French automaker Peugeot followed the example set by the Japanese automakers Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, and KIA.
