The government has imposed a 2.5% FED on vehicles up to 1000cc engine capacity, 5% FED on vehicles with 1001 to 2000cc engine capacity and 7.5% FED on cars above 2001cc engine displacement.
This has affected the price of 1300cc FAW V2 which is now available for PKR 14.99 lac. FAW car prices were just revised on the 19th of June and this is the second major increase for V2 within the span of 20 days.
