In this blog, I will show you the top-selling cars, yearly and monthly comparisons, and sales trends of popular car manufacturers.
Let’s start with the top-selling cars of January 2025:
Top Selling Cars in Pakistan
Suzuki Alto retains the top position, followed by Toyota’s Corolla, Corolla Cross, and Yaris. The third position belongs to the Sazgar Haval, but its sales are reported combined with the sales of December 2024, so we don’t know the actual sales figure for Jan-25. The 10 best-selling of January 2025 are as follows:

Top Selling Sedans
As Toyota reports, the combined sales of the Toyota Corolla, Yaris, and Corolla Cross (SUV) have topped. Honda is in 2nd place, but the difference is minor, and if Toyota’s sedan sales weren’t clubbed with its SUV sales, who knows that Honda might have beat its archrival this month?
