Pakistan’s automotive landscape is buzzing with anticipation as 2025 promises a wave of innovative vehicles hitting the roads. From eco-friendly hybrids to rugged SUVs, the year is shaping up to be a milestone for car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. Here’s a rundown of eight new car models expected to make their mark in Pakistan this year, bringing cutting-edge technology, sleek designs, and performance tailored to local needs.
1. Hyundai Tucson 4th Generation
The Hyundai Tucson is back with its bold fourth-generation model, set to redefine the compact SUV segment. Sporting a modern, angular design with sharp LED headlights and a prominent grille, this Tucson promises advanced safety features and a tech-loaded interior. While it’s unclear whether it will be locally assembled (CKD) or imported (CBU), its estimated price of around PKR 10.1 million positions it as a premium yet accessible choice for SUV lovers.
2. Honda HR-V Hybrid (Vezel)
Honda is stepping up its hybrid game with the HR-V Hybrid, known globally as the Vezel. Replacing the non-hybrid version, this locally assembled SUV combines fuel efficiency with eco-conscious engineering. Expect a sleek design, a spacious cabin, and Honda’s signature reliability. Priced competitively, it’s poised to capture the growing demand for green vehicles in Pakistan.
3. Kia Sorento Hybrid
Kia is set to launch the Sorento Hybrid in the first half of 2025, targeting drivers seeking a blend of luxury and efficiency. Powered by a 1.6-liter turbo engine, it boasts an international fuel economy of up to 15 km/l, though local mileage may vary. With an estimated price of PKR 18 million, this midsize SUV aims to compete with the likes of the Haval H6 HEV, offering seven seats and advanced driver-assistance systems.
4. GWM Haval Tank 500 HEV
Adventure seekers, take note: the GWM Haval Tank 500 HEV is coming to Pakistan as a locally assembled hybrid SUV. Designed to rival heavyweights like the Toyota Prado and Fortuner, it combines off-road prowess with hybrid efficiency. Priced between PKR 20–30 million (though some sources suggest it could reach PKR 50 million), its rugged styling and high-tech features make it a premium contender for thrill-seekers.
5. JAC T9 Hunter
Ghandhara Motors is making waves with the JAC T9 Hunter, a bold pickup truck challenging the Toyota Revo’s dominance. With a contemporary interior, boomerang-shaped styling, and advanced safety features, the T9 Hunter brings a fresh vibe to Pakistan’s pickup market. Its competitive pricing and modern design could sway buyers looking for an alternative to traditional options.
6. Kia Sportage L (5th Generation)
The Kia Sportage L, a long-wheelbase version of the fifth-generation model, is another highlight for 2025. Featuring a hybrid (HEV) trim, updated powertrain, and sleek aesthetics, it builds on the success of its predecessor. Priced to compete in the crossover segment, the Sportage L offers a mix of style, tech, and fuel efficiency, appealing to urban drivers and families alike.
7. Hyundai Sonata N Line
For those craving performance, the Hyundai Sonata N Line is set to turn heads. This facelifted version of the eighth-generation Sonata features a sporty body kit, aggressive styling, and enhanced performance credentials. As one of the priciest locally assembled sedans, it’s expected to appeal to enthusiasts seeking a blend of luxury and speed, with a price tag reflecting its premium positioning.
8. Chery Tiggo 8 Pro
Chery, in partnership with Ghandhara Nissan, is bringing the Tiggo 8 Pro to Pakistan by late 2025. Building on the success of the Tiggo 4 Pro, this SUV promises improved performance, a spacious seven-seat layout, and modern features like a panoramic sunroof and advanced infotainment. Its competitive pricing and robust design make it a strong contender in the growing SUV market.
A Bright Future for Pakistan’s Auto Industry
The 2025 lineup reflects Pakistan’s shifting automotive preferences, with a clear focus on hybrid and electric vehicles, spurred by government policies like the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025–2030. These launches, backed by brands like Hyundai, Honda, Kia, and emerging players like GWM and Chery, signal a dynamic year ahead. Whether you’re after efficiency, adventure, or luxury, there’s a new car in Pakistan to match your drive.
