Comparison Between New Cars and Imported Used Cars
Now a days imported cars are very popular in Pakistan. Especially Japani/Japanese cars have more features and specifications then locally made new cars. These are cheap in rate but expensive in spare parts. Today we bring a comprehensive comparison between these two. Have a look
Here is the Difference and Comparison Between Locally Made Brand New Cars by Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, Nissan, Hyundai and Imported Japanese Cars in Pakistan. Are Imported vehicles are better than locally Cars? Here is the answer
Brand New Car Features
- Great Resale Value
- Parts are readily available
- Engine suitable for Pakistani roads
- Reasonable priced spare parts
- Nationwide after sale support
- Suspension Designed for Pakistani Roads
- 2 Years Warranty
- Customer Care
Imported Used Cars
- No Warranty
- No After sales support
- Poor resale value
- Tampered meter
- Dented, painted body
- Suspension not durable for Pakistani roads
- Rusted under body
- Parts are not readily available
- Engine not suitable for Pakistani roads
- Expensive spare parts
So this is the comparison between new cars and imported Japanese care in Pakistan. No doubt imported vehicle are more luxury and sophisticated then new cars in Pakistan. But also remember these imported car’s spare parts also very expensive and just available in big cities of Pakistan like Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad.
I bought a 2000 model toyota vitz in 2008 for PKR 525,000. Used it for 4 years, never had any parts trouble either in place like Lahore nor in Chakwal or Sargodha (cities i travel to often).
Car ran beautifully, its fuel consumption was better than any local made car of its category (15km/Liter inside city with AC and 18km/Liter on motorway). Plus car had following features :
VVTi engine
Airbags
ABS
Power windows
Power Steering
Automatic Transmission
CD player (company fitted)
These features are not available on any car of 1000cc category assembled in Pakistan.
Before i forget i sold the same car after 4 years at a price of PKR 670,000, so much for the poor resale value. Even today i own another imported 1500cc car and frankly its performance is hell lot better than any of the car available from the local assemblers. Even Toyota XLi does not come with ABS, airbags or power windows.
Last but not the least question to TOYOTA INDUS, also sells quite a few Imported car model (which are not assembled in Pakistan) namely Land Cruiser, Camry, Prado, Fortuner, Avanza & Terios. Are these vehicles designed for Pakistani fuel? Are their suspensions specially designed for Pakistan?
Our local assemblers just charge hefty prices for Cars which nothing more than Tin Boxes on wheels with an engine. Now they are running scared coz they see their profits going down.

hy im qaiser from dubai
im looking the improted car in pakistan like vitz from where i can purchase and what is the process there in pakistan .

I FULLY SUPPORT THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY MR YOUSAF MALIK BECAUSE I AM ALSO ONE OF THE USERS OF TOYOTA VITZ. IT IS WONDERFUL CAR AS COMPARED TO PAKISTANI CARS OF SAME PRICE.
THERE IS NO MATCH BW IMPORTED CARS N OTHERS….IMPORTED CARS HAVE ALWAYS A SMOOTH N COMFORTABLE DRIVE.TOTALLY DISAGREE WD THE ABOVE ARTICLE
You people are absolutely right, If you use Corrola X or Xio it is alot better than cars assemble here in those prices. They work great here more than any locally made cars
Local manufacturer EXPLOIT the common people. They are always increasing PRICES. After the permission of importing cars, their sales have gone down by almost 30%….so they are afraid of FAR BETTER, ECONOMICAL AND FUEL EFFICIENT Japnese imported cars!!
Did any one thing about Suzuki swift.its a brilliant car at that price as compare to Toyota vitz.same features bt price is low then vitz and also more powerful engine then vitz and its a new car.what a enjoy of a new car or reconditioned car.u can image
Yes its a better car with Liana’s old engine… What a bull shit…
In Pakistan Suzuki is just producing shit and if you don’t trust me please check the details of the imported Suzuki Swift features and compare it with the one they are manufacturing here…
I apologies to the Pak Suzuki lovers…
Local cars are just looting us..even 8 lakh Suzuki. carry with poor plastic dash board..no ventilation for air.. ni seat belt…we should.discourage. Local car manufacturing.. Japanese great machines..
