Following suit, Al-Haj FAW has increased prices for its entire lineup and is the fourth company to increase their prices for the second time this year – first one being Pak Suzuki, then Toyota Indus and recently Honda Pakistan. Their previous price hike was 3 months ago.
Yet again, this price hike has been attributed to rupee’s devaluation and rising import exchange rates. It’s true that Pakistan’s auto industry lacks localization and in-house component manufacturing – a significant portion of raw material is imported and any fluctuation in currency values or taxes increases costs incurred per unit.

Unlike its competitors, FAW has not increased the prices as much, here are the new prices,

Is the Recent Increase in Car Prices Justified? [Analysis]
Moreover, if you have ordered a FAW vehicle before this price increase, you should know that it’s company policy for the customer to pay any post-booking increments in prices and tax rates.
The prices of all FAW vehicles are subject to change without notice and prices prevailing at the time of delivery shall apply if rates of existing duties/taxes are increased or new duties/taxes are levied by the government then such increase would be paid by the customer prior to the delivery of the vehicles.
As written in each contract sealed between the customer and the company, the amount written in the “invoice” is paid by the customer – invoice is received after goods are shipped, which is why any fluctuations have to be paid by the customer to realize the contract.
Still Cheaper Than Suzuki Cars, and still having more features than Suzuki Cars in this Price range

LAND OF PURE
Apni qabar khud khod rahi FAW. Wait a few months & see the flood of new entrants.
BTW build quality of FAW is …. well no words. People going for features should check & compare the condition of a 2005 year Suzuki bolan & 2005 FAW roma… Suzuki itself is garbage but Chinese are second to none in providing junk by offering lot of features & ruining the market
offering junk? where do you think apple and samsung phone are made in??? wake up its china, they can only offer so many qualities you can ever imagine, back then Roma was not there to compete anyone, it was there just for the sake of being there, now FAW V2 and XPV are actually turning heads, V2 sold 373 units this feb, this is better sales figures against suzuki’s swift. u cant even compare quality without knowing about it, V2 scores 3 stars in ASEAN NCAP crash test ratings, therefore, this time FAW is here with some serious intentions, we might as well give them a chance like we did to shitzuki’s expired vehicles…
