  • Suzuki resumes Swift GLX CVT bookings ‘for a limited time only’

    Suzuki resumes Swift GLX CVT bookings ‘for a limited time only’

    Production and sales at Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) are picking up speed. The automaker just announced the reopening of bookings for its overall lineup of vehicles on its official Facebook page.

    The best kei car-selling company is also accepting reservations for the Suzuki Swift’s top and most expensive GLX CVT model, according to Pak Suzuki’s official Facebook page. Without providing a specific date, the automaker claimed that the offer is only valid for a short period of time.

    Sales for PSMC also slightly increased last month. This, along with the aforementioned factors, may signal the company’s turnaround from a protracted slump. Even so, the Swift GLX CVT’s Rs3.76 million price tag makes it difficult to sell.

    The new Swift GL CVT Limited Edition model sits below the GLX CVT model and offers a few extra conveniences over the GL CVT model. These features include a center armrest between the passenger seats and a rear top spoiler.

    The Limited Edition variant of Swift costs Rs3,450,000, which is only Rs30,000 more than the Swift GL CVT standard model. The increased cost represents a premium for the added improvements in the Limited Edition variant.

  • Sazgar introduces Pakistan’s first-ever locally assembled Hybrid SUV

    Sazgar introduces Pakistan’s first-ever locally assembled Hybrid SUV

    At a ceremony in Lahore, Sazgar Engineering formally unveiled the Haval H6, Pakistan’s first locally assembled hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).

    By doing this, the business has significantly surpassed its competitors. This is a huge milestone because not even the top automakers in Pakistan considered releasing a hybrid automobile.

    In a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the company said, “We are pleased to inform you that the company has successfully assembled/ manufactured locally the first Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) of Pakistan and is being launched under brand ‘Haval’ as of November 17.”

    One of the four brands owned by the Chinese carmaker Great Wall Motors (GWM), “Haval,” reached the Pakistani market through Sazgar in early 2021.

    A 1.5 turbocharged engine in the Haval H6 generates 152 horsepower (HP) and 233 newton metres (Nm) of torque. With that, there is a motor producing 174 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque. Excellent efficiency, low fuel consumption, high performance, and light weight are the engine’s four standout qualities.

    The Haval H6 Hybrid SUV costs Rs9.75 million, yet the manufacturer charges Rs1.9 million for bookings.

    Toyota to launch its first electric car with 559 km range next month

    Toyota announced that it will introduce its revolutionary bZ4X battery-powered SUV in its home market on May 12, as part of a larger push to minimise its carbon footprint.

    The bZ4X is Toyota’s first vehicle built on a specific electric vehicle (EV) platform created in collaboration with Subaru. It’s made at the Motomachi factory, which now employs CO2-free utility power sourced from renewable sources.

    It was also disclosed that the Japanese dealerships would start taking orders for the first batch of 3,000 vehicles in May 2022, with the second batch of about 2,000 vehicles anticipated early in the autumn. This year, the manufacturer plans to create and sell 5,000 units.

    The Japanese manufacturer claims that its new battery electric vehicle (BEV) SUV has a power-efficiency rating of 128Wh/km and a touring range of 559 kilometers (347 miles). It is compatible with rapid DC chargers available all around the world, while its battery can be topped to 80 per cent in just 40 minutes.

    All bZ4X models delivered in Japan will be leased, as per the manufacturer, to alleviate customer concerns about electric cars and allow it to apply its 3Rs (Rebuild, Reuse, Recycle) battery management system. The batteries incorporated in the SUVs will be guaranteed for ten years and 200,000 kilometers (120,000 miles) at 70 per cent capacity retention.
