In Pakistan, the majority of the middle class and lower middle class is unable to afford any car. If we look back into the years, car prices were reasonably controlled. One could easily plan to buy a sedan. However, with the passage of years, sedans, as well as hatchbacks, have gone way too out of hand. If you want to buy a new entry-level hatchback these days, you need to have about PKR 1.5 – 2 million. So, is there a way to find cheap cars now? Are there any cars under 5 lacs in Pakistan? If these are some of your questions, we are happy to share the answers with you.
