However if you don’t wish to go for the base version, the optional extras which include 8 speed steptronic transmission, leather upholstery, parking assist with distance control, cruise control with multi function steering wheel, metallic colors, panoramic sunroof, rear view camera & Bi-LED headlights will take the price to a new level (refer to the image attached).
In recent years there are quite a few options introduced in Pakistan in the above 3.0 million price territory including the 10th generation 1.5L Civic, Atlas Honda HR-V, Toyota Prius Hybrid by Indus Motors, Kizashi by Pak Suzuki, as well as the Audi A3. In addition to this the hot favorite Honda Vezel & Toyota Prius among the used Japanese imports also add to the options available in this price range. However not much has been available for the common consumers other than a handful of obsolete Suzukis.
