The King is Dead! Suzuki Sold Less than 50 Altos in January

The recent struggles of the auto industry have resulted in car sales dropping off a cliff. According to the monthly sales data from Pakistan Automotive Manufacturer’s Association (PAMA), Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) was the prime victim of theseĀ irregularities.

PSMC sold only 44 units of the Alto last month, making it one of the worst sellers during the month. Comparatively, the automaker sold 3,864 units of Alto in December 2022. This is especially interesting as the company has sold around 5,000 Altos every month for the past one and a half years.

According to details, PSMC observed multiple non-production days (NPDs) in the past few months, which dampened sales of all of its cars. In January, the company’s best-selling car was Wagon R, with only 671 units sold.

Overall, PSMC sold only 2,946 units last month, recording a Month over Month (MoM) sales decline of 74% compared to January. Given the recent car and fuel price hikes as well as production cuts, this downward trend will likely continue.


  • At the current price, even the most opulent person with plentiful money would think twice before buying this crap.

    • Your comment is misleading in my view. Suzuki has stopped production on its own(despite the fact that people want to buy Alto VX, VXR and VXL).

      People are still willing to buy but Suzuki is not taking any bookings of Alto (any variant). So that is why this slump is there. Go to any Suzuki center and they will tell you that you cannot book most of the low end cars now.

      • SUZUKI STARTED ITS PRODUCTION IN PAKISTAN IN 1979 WITH THE COMMITMENT THAT COMPLETE SUZUKI CARS SHALL BE MANUFACTURED IN PAKISTAN AFTER 5 YEARS. THERE CARS ARE SUB STANDARD AND WAY OVER PRICED. ANY COMPANY THAT DOES NOT STARTS COMPLETE MANUFACTURING OF VEHICLES IN 5 YEARS SHOULD BE ASKED TO QUIT PAKISTAN. COMMISSION MAFIA WHICH IS PROTECTING THESE COMPANIES SHOULD BE GIVEN EXEMPLARY PUNISHMENTS AS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING THE COUNTRY TO ITS KNEES.

    • i am surprised over the peopleā€™s wisdom that how much awam of this country is stupid that TEEN KA DABBA MATERIAL cost 25 lacs 30 lacs ALLAH KO MANO bohat haram ki daulat hai logon kay pas to waste . now a days all vehicles either corolla, honda or suzuki are TEEN KA DABBA check the material and features of any car poorly manufactured ONLY FOR PAKISTANIS. India is far ahead from us there the prices are less and quality material. in pakistan y these car manufacturing companies importing the all parts and only they are assembling here in too much cost. Although GOVT HAS DIED BUT I THINK PEOPLE ARE ALIVE AND THEY SHOULD BE. LOGON KAY PAS KHANAY KO NAHI BUT 30 35 LAC KI GARI ZAROORI HAI. SHAME ON ALL

    • Sir ye teen dabba kon le ga itney mein. Hum pakistani hain hi pagal jo bus ankhain band kar k lag jatey hain .

      • Ap kiya ye soch saktey hain k Honda 70CC 137 ki ho gae hay. koi pagal hi hoga jo 137 laga dey is pe.

  • Haan tou price 30 lac par Le jaayein.. chaadar jaisi gaariyaan arahi hain, 1 bike ghus jaaye, poori gaari ka naqsha bigarr jaata hai.. acha hai na sale ho..

    • @Muhammad Jan Ali Bhai I have driven Alto VXR. It gives you 28 Km on long. It is like a CD 70 of cars. So people are still willing to buy this car. But Suzuki has stopped all bookings of its variants. Go to any dealership and they have a long list of bookings.

      Point is that Suzuki and other manufacturers fear a Srilanka styled bankruptcy of Pakistan in 6 months. Dollar can reach 4-500 Rs per dollar in that case. So that is why it is better for them not to manufacture any car as they cannot book CKDs in advance and then pay almost 40-50% more amount from their own pocket (due to dollar depreciation).

      • THEY STOPPED ASSEMBLING BECAUSE OF SHORTAGE OF ORDERS. WE SHOULD WATCH PAKISTAN’S INTEREST AND ACT ON FORMULA OF :

        BE PAKISTANI BUY PAKISTANI

        LABOR IN JAPAN IS AMONG THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE WORLD AND PAKISTAN HAS THE CHEAPEST LABOR FORCE. WHEN ALL OF US SHALL BOYCOTT THESE HIGH PRICED VEHICLES AND BOYCOTT ALL IMPORTED STUFF PAKISTAN SHALL START STANDING ON ITS FEET AGAIN.

  • Wow… That’s really good and unexpected news… Pakistani awaam mein shukar hai itni sense hai ke ye kachra 30 lakh mein nhi khareed rahay… Totally boycott this crap until they are forced to reduce it by half at least.

  • Unnecessary expensive.
    Sell is something else but here sell only remain in books. They rise the price without any means.

  • Alhumdolillah.
    Allah Pak Pakistan k tamam car manufacturers to tabah o barbad kr dy.
    Prices increase ki in k pass koi reason nhi.
    Pakistan ma manufacturing na krny ki koi reason nhi.
    Pakistani consumers ko lootna aur bad quality products bechnay, bureaucrats aur ministers ko haram khila kr hr anti Pakistani consumers step krwaty hy.
    Allah ki laant in pr.

  • Who will buy this crap which is not deserve More than 10 lakhs .. pathetic country taxes plus car mafia’s. This is the results. Intimr to sell these car on kilo

  • PSMC should reduce the price…. Otherwise Pakistanis should boycott to purchase Suzuki

  • every ones blaming suzuki for the price hike yet it still holds the spot of still selling the most cheapest brand new car in the market, this eff govt has ruined every thing and every business, this qoum deserves all this as the leaders have divided and conquered them…. crap slaves complaining!

  • I think there is a solid reason of price increase
    Although alto is the third class varient with huge price increase
    PSMC has to think about it and launch 660 cc Suzuki every immediately to fill their sale

  • ham kafi din se 1 budget car dhundh rahe hain lene ke liye 12 se 13 lakh mein use kar ke section mein to hamen koi bhi ek value for money gadi Nahin mili aur Suzuki alto ko humne Dekha hai ki showroom per itni jyada khadi hai itni jyada khadi hai koi leke jaane ko taiyar Nahin hai isko itni jyada over price ho chuki hai ki koi bhi shak se shuru ki alto ko prefer nahin kar raha hai is time shuru ki alto ki market totally down ho chuki hai aur jitne logon ne yah lesing per shuru ki alto li hai pichhle sal ya 1 2 sal pahle vah Sare case Dene ke bhi kabil Nahin rah gai jitni mahangai ho chuki hai isliye shuru ki alto aane Wale time bahut buri Tarah Jo hogi value down karegi apni ruki alto ko koi parchase nahin karega kyunki Chinese players aane lage Hain category mein kabhi bhi nahin chalne denge ab Pakistan mein

  • Actually price of alto should be Rs.1300000 in Pakistan as per material used for this alto. Than its sale will definitely rise upto 500%.

  • Very good, they should realise selling substandard, pathetic quality, no features car for a premium price is not gonna fly with customers. I will be very happy if they go into losses and have tons of stock leftover that they’re forced to sell for cheap. Stopping production of mehran for sales of this car will bite them in the ass. Overpriced piece of shit car.

  • A huge number of Pakistani compare everything with PKR, so price high is number one issue. 2nd, a huge number of alto pre-booking. 3rdly, including me a lot of people aren’t buying by its quality. I have car in dubai and i know automobile very well. So, alti quality is very poor. Rest economic collapse or dollar high rise is not a matter. Mostly people getting in hard cash rest, who are getting in bank finance, they are liable to pay in any condition.

  • Price to value ratio wise its the worst car to buy, drive and ride quality feels like its from 2010. Under powered, any person with sense would buy an old Japanese over this.

  • The current stock in showroom has a terrible build and extremely poor quality. Only people with less knowledge or simple people tricked by sales personnel might buy at present unjustified prices. My friend got wagonr vxr from company and itā€™s quality is terrible.

  • This is good revenge of people to Suzuki.
    How can possible to by this Rickshaw Car in so much amount. It’s risky car that can possible to push their passengers in to death easily.

  • Suzuki alto is like a teen daba and its prices are touching to sky a job person can’t even imagine to buy this daba.. people should boycott this nonsense

  • This is an auto rickshaw with 4 tyres.. totally unsafe garbage and suzuki company demanding 21 lac for this.. very good.. people should boycott suzuki..

  • This probably means that those having slightly used vehicles, around 600 km driven, from before, might get good price on their vehicle now. What is your opinion on this?
    This car is best value for money in the current fuel prices
