Record-Breaking Sales of Suzuki Alto in Dec’21
The Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) has posted the monthly car sales for December 2021. We were surprised to see the overall growth of car sales. But what shocked us was the record-breaking sales of Suzuki Alto.
Pak Suzuki sold 9,195 units of Alto in December, highest-ever since the car’s launch. Alto’s last record was 6,110 sales in July 2021. Here’s how Alto’s sales went throughout the year, from January to December.
Bookings of Alto VXL
An interesting thing to note here is that Suzuki has temporarily suspended the bookings for Alto VXL. The top-of-the-line VXL/AGS variant has been cut out of production because of the semiconductor chip shortage.
That means the highest-ever 9,195 sales were of the Alto VX and VXR variants. The car had record-breaking sales when its most popular VXL variant was not even available for bookings. The power of Alto, ladies and gentlemen!
Suzuki Car Sales in Dec’21
Overall, Pak Suzuki had a great sales month with 15,503 car units sold in December. The company’s month-on-month sales grew by 82%. Suzuki sold 9,195 units of Alto, 1,411 units of Cultus, 2,861 units of Suzuki Wagon R, 1,040 units of Suzuki Bolan, and 2 units of Suzuki Swift.
Suzuki Alto has been the company’s best-seller for as long as we can recall. Alto is the smallest and most affordable car from the Suzuki lineup. The car has 4000+ monthly sales on average.
Typically, people wait for the new year to buy cars with a new model year. That’s why, each year, car sales are the slowest during November and December. But, this time, the mini-budget had everyone on their toes. Buyers knew the car prices would go up once the mini-budget got approved. So, they didn’t wait for the new year and booked cars before the price hike. That’s probably why Pakistan’s number one selling car had record-breaking sales in December.
