In the midst of a severe economic downturn, rupee devaluation, and prolonged import restrictions, local car manufacturers in Pakistan face uncertain prospects. The recent depreciation of the rupee against the US dollar has cast a shadow over hopes for economic stability in the near future.
Car Companies’ Survival Strategies
To counter the economic challenges, car companies in Pakistan have rolled out a series of offers aimed at sustaining their sales volumes and ensuring their survival.
Kia Motors’ Price Lock Offer
Kia Lucky Motors, for instance, has introduced a unique “price lock” offer. This offer allows customers to secure a new Kia Picanto, Stonic, Sportage, or Sorento with an assured locked-in price and immediate delivery, although delivery times for SUVs remain uncertain.
Pak Suzuki’s Array of Offers
Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) finds itself particularly challenged by the economic situation, leading it to unveil a series of offers exceeding those of its competitors.
Price Lock and More from PSMC
PSMC’s latest offer extends a “price lock” benefit to all new bookings made this month. It’s worth noting that this offer applies to all vehicle models except the popular Suzuki Alto VX and Cultus VXR.
