Hyundai Cars in Pakistan

Hyundai Nishat has finally decide to catchup with the rest of the crossover SUVs in Pakistan while introducing a new safety and convenience feature in, Hyundai Tucson. According to details, the car assembler has introduced parking sensors in its vehicle, however, they are only offered in the top-of-the-line variant, All Wheel Drive (AWD). The reports were circulating in the market that Hyundai is planning something major for Tucson, and expectations were high, however, the company only offered front and rear parking sensors in its car. It is pertinent to mention that almost all other crossover SUVs in the local market come with the parking sensors, including Tucson's direct rival, Kia Sportage AWD. The good news for the Tucson fans is that Hyundai has not increased the price of Tucson with this extra convenience feature. Parking Sensors  Parking Sensors have become a basic feature for all new launched cars because they help in navigating and parking in tight spaces. In most of the cars, the companies use ultrasonic sensors that emit sound waves, with a controller in the car measuring how long each signal takes to bounce back off an object. This helps it to calculate how far away the object is. Tucson was launched in Pakistan in August 2020, and absence of parking sensors was a kind of disappointing for the consumers and car lovers. But is good that Hyundai Nishat has decided to offer them after three years of the launch, as they say, its never too late. Hopefully, this new feature will help the company increasing sales of Tucson as PAMA report showed that only 315 units were sold in April 2023 compared to 280 in March, showing a dropping of 27%.

The ongoing economic meltdown and its adverse effect on entire industry is not in disguise. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s already-struggling car industry is also among the affectees. Depleting foreign exchange reserves urged the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to inflict import restrictions which in turn nudged the local car assemblers to announce back-to-back production cuts and price hikes. Furthermore, thousands of employees working in assembly plants also lost their jobs. Auto assemblers in the country are still increasing their car prices. Surprisingly enough, customers also have to pay the difference even after the booking. The Offer In such a heinous situation, the new entrant, Hyundai Nishat comes with an amazing limited-time offer flaunting immediate delivery and a price lock. First, the customers who have purchased the Hyundai Elantra will not have to wait for delivery. Second, the price lock offer will protect them from any hike even after the booking of car. Mind you, Elantra has shattered the hegemony of Honda Civic and Toyota corolla in sedan segment. The company launched two variants of Elantra, the 2.0GLS and 1.6 GL. Features of Elantra 2.0 GLS Engine: 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder MPI Gasoline DOHC engine Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic Power: 154 hp @ 6,200 rpm Torque: 195 Nm @ 4,500 rpm Four Drive Modes (Normal, ECO, Sport, Smart) LED Headlight and Taillights Traction Control Hill Start Assist Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) Rear Parking Camera Dual SRS Airbags Electric Power Steering Power Windows Features of Elantra 1.6 GL 1600cc engine, producing 126hp and 155Nm of torque 6-speed auto Triptronic transmission. dual airbags ABS + EBD Hill start assist and reverse camera.6-way manual adjustment driver seat What do you think about Hyundai’s limited-time offer?
