The year has just started and that means that we have 11 months ahead of us in which new and exciting cars will arrive on our shores. The Auto Policy 2016-2021 has already given us multiple brand new cars such as the Kia Sportage, the Hyundai Ioniq and others, there are a few that will be coming this year.
Just like our last article on the cars that had launched in 2019, the criteria for this article is brand new cars being launched or announced this year meaning that facelifts or new generation models don’t count and neither does Prince Pearl which was announced last year.
Another criterion while picking this compiling this list was the fact that all vehicles are private passenger ones –no commercial or heavy-duty vehicles.
Toyota Yaris
The first one on the list is the Toyota Yaris, which has already been spotted on the roads in the country as the company looks to launch it in the next few months. It will be replacing the Corolla XLi and GLi models which the company is looking to discontinue this year.
Proton X70
The Malaysian High Commission in the country tweeted that the Proton X70 will be launching in Pakistan very soon and we hope to see it this year. It is the first-ever top-of-the-line SUV manufactured by the Malaysian company. It has both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive variants and is powered by a 1.8L TGDi engine.
Changan CX70T
The Changan CX70T was seen on the roads in Pakistan as Master Motors look to introduce it this year. The SUV seats 7 and is powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. It has both manual and automatic variants.
Ghandhara Nissan JAC T6
The pickup by Ghandhara Nissan is expected to be available this year and according to reports will have a 2.0L turbo diesel engine coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Hyundai Tucson
Another Hyundai favorite, the Tucson, will be seen in the market this year and will likely feature a 2.0L engine coupled with a manual or an automatic transmission.
Proton Exora
Another Proton model will arrive this year and is likely to be powered by a 1.6L CamPro CPS DOHC I4 engine or a 1.6 enL CamPro CFE DOHC I4 Turbo engines. The variants will have options in the transmission department as well with the model being available in a 5-speed manual, 4-speed auto, and 6-speed CVT automatic transmissions.
Borgward BX5
The model is set to be available in two variants a 1.4L two-wheel drive option and a slightly more powerful 2.0L all-wheel-drive variant.
Proton Saga
Proton is looking to make a grand entrance year and according to reports, this will be their 3rd launch of the coming year, the sedan is powered by a 1.3L engine.
Hyundai Sonata
Reportedly, this Hyundai was seen on the roads of Lahore and it makes sense for the company to launch it as it is already looking to bring an SUV and would also look to bring a sedan. The car has multiple variants ranging from the standard one to a top-of-the-line model. In terms of power, it has a 2.5L engine or a 1.6L turbo engine.
There have been reports that Ghandhara Nissan is looking to launch three cars this year, while reports are sparse on the other two, we have talked above about the one that we have some information about.
Let us know what you think in the comments below and which car you are excited about or if we’ve missed any.
While the Production of most running vehicles have been stopped!
i think it’s good, bringing more cars/companies in the market will increase the competition and help reducing the prices. Probably the features provided by the cars of these new companies will also be better.
Prices?
Oqaat sy upper prices!
car ki okat sey ooper
Thats the main issue :(
Yahi batain 2019 me bhi suni theen k ye cars aarahi hain. 2021 me bhi yahi sunain gay
Hyundai sonata a gaye na logon ny civic or corolla ko pouchna bhi nai hai phir lekin price kafi high hogi sonata ki lekin gari kamal ki hai
Without any doubt, Sonata nain sub ke vaat laga deeni hay
Any of these cars are fuel efficient, I doubt
Good efforts but we need to mobolise our existing car industry too.Deletion program for localisation of spare parts needs importance by engg dev board so that vendor industry is developed.SME ector should be developed and then we are able to export n compete in world.Sorry to say that this is not being done and lot of $$ are spent on imports rather then export earnings.
Prices must be high due taxes. If the taxes gets low which is not possible then the prices would be low as compared with Honda and Corolla.
riz prices are not only high because of taxes but another reason is devaluation of Pakistani currency
Auto policy of 2016-2021?
Nawaz Sharif should not be credited for anything, it is Imran Khan who saved our billions by reducing the number of car purchased every year.
Shukria Imran Khan
Ghareeb Awam kay liy tu koe new option nae :(
this is a wishful list :) i have my doubts over sonata and tuscon. and where is ioniq? havent seen it on roads. what is your source?
