This enormous price jump has now taken the previously ‘not so modestly priced’ Suzuki Alto VXR up to Rs. 1,198,000 which is a big price tag for a 660cc mini-hatchback. Plus, it bears citing that the said price does not include tax, which implies that the final price of the car could go well of 1,200,000. The announcement issued to the dealers states that the revised price shall be operative from 7th of July, 2020.
Upon publication back last year, the Alto VXR was valued at Rs. 1,101,000, which was higher by Rs. 50,000 than the newer and debatable better-equipped Prince Pearl. Even though the price of the latter had also been increased, it still remains less than the Alto VXR by the same edge. Considering that with the equipment list on the Pearl, competition for Suzuki is likely to get somewhat threatening.
The update of the price surge has come right after the price rise
announced on Suzuki’s new bikes. In fact just a few days ago, a number of
automakers including Toyota, Regal Motors, YAMAHA, HONDA, and of course SUZUKI themselves,
have derive forward with revised prices on their products after the release of
2020 budget.
With that thought, it appears to be a mere start of the virtual
wave of price increments in the motorized industry. Add this with the impeded
production and nose-diving sales, and 2020 easily becomes the wickedest year
for the auto industry in Pakistan.
