After Atlas Honda yesterday, United Auto Industries has increased the United bike prices up to Rs. 11,000. In a notification, the company said that production cost has increased due to the recently imposed General Sales Tax (GST) and increased raw material rates. It has become hard for the company to maintain the current prices; hence, it is increasing the prices of all of its bikes immediately. United Bike Prices  The old price of United US 70 was Rs. 87,500, and after a jump of Rs. 9,000, its new rate is Rs. 96,500. The previous rate of United US 100 was 92,000, and after a jump of Rs. 10,000, the new price of this bike is Rs. 102,000. The third bike is United US Scooty 100, which also observed a hike of Rs. 10,000 and now will cost Rs. 120,000 against the previous Rs. 110,000. The last bike is United US 125, which used to cost Rs. 130,000, and after seeing a jump of Rs. 11,000, its latest price is Rs. 141,000. Terms and Conditions  The new prices are implemented from February 16, 2023. All bookings sent to the company from February 16, 2023, will be on the new rates. Although the company has shared the reasons for increasing the rates, the question could be asked about the bikes already at the dealerships or being produced. Why is the company imposing the GST on these bikes? They must've been made at the old rate of raw material. This has become a trend in the local market, especially by the bike companies, to increase the prices repeatedly despite claiming complete localization. It seems that they are just trying to earn as much as possible from the consumers despite producing the bikes at old rates. Yesterday, Atlas Honda hiked the prices up, taking the rate of Honda CG 125 over Rs. 200,000. And it is almost certain that Suzuki and Yamaha will follow very soon.

After Toyota, Suzuki, and Honda, United motors also decreased their car prices. The current episode of reducing prices started last week after the dollar rate depreciated and the Rupee resuscitated. Like other automakers, United motors also decided to pass on the benefit to the customers. The new prices are applicable from today, August 18, 2022. United Bravo price is decreased by Rs. 100,000 and will now cost Rs. 1,519,000 instead of Rs. 1,619,000. Similarly, United Alphas price observed a reduction of Rs. 117,000 and will now cost 1,769,000 against Rs. 1,886,000. Price Hike Vs. Dollar Rate It should be noted that the dollar rate is directly proportional to car prices in Pakistan. The more the dollar rate appreciates, the more car prices will increase. So, the dollar is the only thing that directly affects the local automakers and market. Weeks ago, the dollar gained profile, auto companies witnessed financial slippages, and finally, the market recorded a massive price hike. And, when the dollar came down, customers noticed that car companies announced a slight decrease in prices – doesn’t fit the proportion to which they were increased. On the other hand, it is also said that the prices are dropped in accordance to the reduction of the dollar rate. Be that as it may, a considerable price increase didn’t fit the rate at which the dollar swelled. What do you think about the recent decrease in vehicle prices?

Yesterday, we told you about a rumour floating around about the closure of United cars. The rumour left us wondering if United Motors is saying goodbye to its two car models, United Bravo and United Alpha. Turns out, it was nothing but a false and baseless rumour, and United cars are not going anywhere.  We got in touch with a company official to find out the truth, and he stressed that United Motors is not at all shutting down its operations. The company is going stronger than ever, selling both their car models, Bravo and Alpha, and delivering the cars within a week. He also requested people to stop spreading rumours in the market and show support for the United brand. More United Models? Not only is United Motors staying in the market, but the company may also launch more United cars in the future. The company official revealed this exciting development, hinting at the addition of new models in the United car lineup.  United Motors entered the car market in 2018 with an 800cc hatchback, United Bravo. It was supposed to be an alternative to the Suzuki Mehran, a car for the middle class. But the build quality issues got in the way of Bravo becoming a hit like Mehran. Last year in January, United Motors introduced their second car in the market, a 1000cc hatchback, United Alpha. Like Bravo, Alpha is also a car for the middle-class Pakistanis, who want to buy a brand-new car for less than Rs. 15 lacs.  With two ongoing models, United Motors has gotten a hang of the local market. If the company goes on to introduce more cars, they ought to work on the issues of their current models and improve them in the upcoming ones. We hope that United cars will take this rumour as constructive feedback to continue in the market and become a serious brand.  What do you say about United Motors’ claims to stay in the market?
