By In recent news, Toyota and Honda have announced significant price cuts for their popular car models in Pakistan. These reductions come amidst efforts to offset increased taxes on vehicles priced above Rs4 million. Let’s explore the details of these price reductions and what they mean for consumers in Pakistan.
Toyota Yaris Price Drop: The Indus Motor Company, manufacturer of Toyota cars, has slashed prices for its Yaris model by up to Rs133,000. For example, the Toyota Yaris 1.3 MT Lo is now priced at Rs4,326,000, down from its previous price of Rs4,399,000.
