The troubles of the auto industry have resulted in car sales dropping off a cliff. According to a recent update from autojournal.pk, Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL) was the prime victim of these issues.
The company couldn’t sell a single unit of its flagship sedan last month, bringing the total sales down significantly. The report does not highlight whether the lack of sales was due to poor demand or production issues.
On March 31, Honda decided to extend the production shutdown to 15 more days.
The official notification cites supply chain disruption due to the deterioration of the economy, as well as restrictions on raw materials and CKD imports, as the reasons for the lengthy shutdown.
The last production shutdown remained in effect from the 9th of March till the 31st. Whereas, the extended shutdown will continue from April 1 to 15.
This implies that, by the end of this shutdown, Honda will have observed a car assembly shutdown in Pakistan for 38 days.
Given this grim development, Honda is likely to struggle in terms of sales in the future as well.
I love Honda Civic Vti Oriel 1.8L. It sails on the roads. I have 2017 model – company provided. But the fact is over less than 6 years later, the 2.5 million rupees car has shot up to 9.0 million. It matters little if 2022-23 new model was launched. I wish if people’s buying power had increased by the same proportion. Now today, you will get the ugly duckling 660cc Suzuki Alto for 2.3 million rupees. So, who would be able to buy it?
The Ugly Duckling 🤣
Well said
I belive the car u r driving is the most bang for the buck car right now. U can still enjoy civic in less price but honda keeps on forgetting there is so much option in brand new and used market as well. Their narcissistic mindset will only destroy the brand here in pakistan as what happened to bmw by dewan motors.
Exactly
these cars are not worth according to the price tag
exactly
Prices are increasing rapidly. Suzuki swift 4.5 Mn, rest Toyota and Honda are 8 Mn plus. Its alarming
A video that viral on Facebook showed a car which is honda civic suffers a minor accident, yet the sheer damage to its exterior showed how fragile and clumsy it is made..
It looked like the softest car on road..and the buyer bemoaned it cost him 4.5million..now 8 million..
Its price and its quality…contradicts..
Honda must ran a Pepsi like ads to restore faith..
The price of petrol & the car is abnormal that’s why sale drastically effected.
Boycott of Honda, Toyota and suzuki till price leveled down 3.5 Million to 4.2 at max for Honda and Toyota and under 2.0 Million for cultus
Agreed
In honda civic prices audi and others are best options.
If the price is Rs.4.5 to 5 millions the civic is worth buying with buyers in pocket. @ Rs. 10 M. neither it’s worth nor buyers with that much money.
simple , clear and very very true fact. only exaggerated hike in prices is a factor of no sales in March. 4 years back it was 3.3 million and now 9 million , what mathematics or formula ?
Considering the unjust huge increase in price, it should get even worse.
In same month Honda and other vehicle brand increasing drastically prizes of cars with unknown reason, then definitely there will affect the purchasing powers of vehicles, and in 8 to 9 million there are more option in this prize tag like Audi, Mark X, SUVs, and many other vehicles with more futuristic and power pack engine, then why Honda.. so all local producing companies should decrease there vehicles prizes for increasing purchasing power..
Why don’t they shut down the plant permanently?
No govt has taken any action against these 3 big ones and the people has to suffer. Why don’t we boycott new cars?
Well said and agreed
In this country the (pippa) suzuki alto has been sold in 2.7+ million. There will be definatelly rasie the prices luxury cars like honda cvic.
I too much dislike the suzuki alto. what is in this car? it like kids toys and the price is 28 laks to 30 laks.
As a Pakistani we should think about Pakistan. we should work for Pakistan.
Stop buying new car and Boycott till price bracket of Honda and Toyota came into level 3.5 to 4.2 Million. Suzuki price must be level under 2.0 Million for cultus
Yes bhai jan..bycot wat is the only option
Just like together we have boycott the fruits and prices now got a little controlled and down than it was before. we have to boycott car and bikes as well. This needs to be stopped because its getting out of reach of common man.
This is what happens when you increase car price from 3.8 million to over 6 million in no times. Honda don’t deserve to be in that range, so people would prefer any other to Honda.
The increase in inflation and increased petrol prices are not worth these cars. People or now opting to buy bicycles, and here you are talking about honda civic sales. Who on the earth will buy these cars
I’m buying nee honda civic soon inshaAllah
But I thinking about the price of honda cars is so much in this range you have a very options car for buy
there is still huge demand for civic. this is definitely supply chain issue
Hahahaha Honda Civics Like ( Scrap ) ( Teen Dabba ) i gives 000.0001 Star ⭐ its too expensive
Sahi kaha bilkul teen dabba ha. In say to achi 86 corola ha
10 mils for a car made of paper, it’s not worth it….
Oh no the auto’makers’ are in trouble. Whatever would the public do without their excessive price hikes for their crap cars? Would somebody think of the billions of the profits of the auto’makers’?
Alalks
