Hatchbacks Newcomers Should Introduce in Pakistan

Ever since the new Auto Policy was announced in 2016, people had a hope of witnessing competition in the automobile market. Something that should allow them to choose between two products in a given budget or segment.

The main objective of the Auto Policy 2016-21 was to break the monopoly of 3 Japanese players in the market, primarily attracting non-Japanese automakers, create competition between players, shorten the delivery period, eliminate own/ premium, bring down car prices and improve the quality of products offered to the customers.

However 3 years down the line, the market is yet to witness true competition as it was desired. Off course , there are more than 12 automakers in process of making an entry, but all that has been introduced so far are either commercial pickups and minivans, or expensive options above 3 million price bracket. There is literally nothing for the mass market buyers that actually competes against the 3 dominant players. The delivery period still stand for months, there is still a huge sum of own money to be paid if one needs to get instant deliveries and the market is still starved for more mass market options.
