Hyundai is making a comeback in Pakistan partnered with Nishat Group and the groundbreaking ceremony of their plant in Faisalabad also took place last month. The Verna sedan with a 1.4 liter engine (if launched) may give some tough time to the rivals in Pakistan primarily the Honda City. Sensing this, Indus Motors is in process to introduce the Vios sedan to take on the competition in this segment.
