12 Rivals Face-Off – Royal Rumble of Pakistani C-SUVs

Six years back, in 2019, we only had 1-2 C-segment SUVs. It’s 2025 now, and we’ve got a flood of compact SUVs in the market. Whether it’s from the JDM big3s, Korean contenders, or our ally China, options are endless in a 7-10 million price bracket. 

Sedan loyalists are switching, families are upgrading, and everyone’s asking: “Which one’s actually worth it?” Well, we’re cutting through the clutter. No more endless comparisons between two rivals – this time, we’re pitting all 12 C-segment SUVs head-to-head in one ultimate showdown.

This review focuses exclusively on the highlighted features that differentiate each model, using only the top-spec trims and optional features. Common, standard specifications have been omitted.
