The car sales are down by around 51% this month (Sep-22: 11,046 units) compared to same month last year’s sales (Sep-21: 22,241 units). Also, the car sales are down by 6% (Sep-22: 11,046 units) compared to last month’s sales (Aug-22: 11,666 units).

The industry is going through one of the worst times. It is due to the current economic disaster in Pakistan in which inflation is breaking records. The companies are also facing issues in importing parts due to restrictions and unannounced delays. Due to this, some big companies are even forced to impose production cuts for some days. All these elements are affecting the sales negatively.

Let’s see which cars have performed better in this storm and which got carried away.

These are the year-on-year car sales statistics of the major automobile manufacturers. 

As we can see, the year-on-year sales of all automobile manufacturers (except Hyundai) have dropped significantly in Sep-22 as compared to Sep-21. Honda has lost the most sales (-64.8%) in this comparison. 

Now, let’s see where the sedans and hatchbacks stand against each other.

Toyota Corolla and Yaris are still the most selling sedans even after significant decline in their sales as compared to previous month. Next in the line are the Honda City and Civic followed by the Hyundai Sonata and Elantra.

Winners in Terms of Number of Units Sold

Here, we will show you the winners in terms of total units sold.

Suzuki Alto is again on the top followed by the Toyota Corolla and Yaris. The sales of Corolla and Yaris have dropped significantly. The reason can be the production cuts due to shortage of raw materials.

Suzuki Swift has jumped to the 3rd position as it has gained 137% more sales this month. Swift’s year on year is almost 1350% up. The new model seems to be a success story for Suzuki.

Honda BR-V is still the loser if we compare the percentage difference in units sold this month as compared to last month. Shockingly, sedans of Toyota (with -38.6% sales) and Honda (with -16.4% sales) are also in this list. 

Final Verdict

The cars’ sales of most automobile manufacturers continue to decline. The sales figures are quite alarming if we compare them with the previous year. Even Suzuki’s sales that have elevated this month, declined significantly as compared to the same month last year. 

Many people have started to buy used cars due to frequent price hikes by the companies this year. As inflation is high and the buying power of common people is not allowing them to buy a new car, the automobile industry can face this type of decline in car sales in the coming months.

What are your thoughts on the decline in car sales? Will it force the companies to prolong production cuts? Will it end the own-money culture in Pakistan? Share your opinion with us in the comment section below.
