Tax Hike on Cars: What Pakistan's 2025-26 Budget Means for Your Next Purchase

Tax Hike on Cars: What Pakistan's 2025-26 Budget Means for Your Next Purchase

Thinking about buying a new car in Pakistan soon? You might want to take another look at the price tag, especially if a sleek SUV is on your radar! The freshly announced 2025-26 federal budget just dropped a new 2% tax on vehicles with engine capacities between 1300cc and 1800cc. This isn't just a minor tweak, it's a change that's set to directly impact the cost of many popular models, while thankfully, hybrid vehicles largely keep their current GST rates.

This tax adjustment directly impacts the lineup of Haval, a prominent Chinese SUV brand in Pakistan. With many of their models falling within the 1300cc to 1800cc engine range, prospective Haval buyers will see notable changes in pricing across the board.

Specifically, Haval's petrol-powered models are facing moderate price hikes. Vehicles like the Haval Jolion 1.5T and the Haval H6 1.5T will reflect these increases due to the newly imposed 2% tax.

In contrast, Haval's hybrid offerings, including the popular Jolion HEV and H6 HEV, are expected to see only marginal price adjustments. This distinction highlights the budget's differing treatment of conventional and more fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles in the Pakistani market.
