ISLAMABAD – The prices of Suzuki Alto, one of the most-selling cars in Pakistan, are likely to witness an increase of up to Rs180,000 from next fiscal year starting from July 2025.
It comes as the federal government has proposed increasing the standard general sales tax (GST) on locally assembled small-engine cars with engine capacity up to 850cc to 18 percent from existing 12.5%.
The proposal was made by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb while presenting the budget for fiscal year 2025-26.
The prices of Suzuki Alto will witness a whooping increase if the budget proposal to increase the GST is approved by the parliament.
Suzuki Alto Current Prices
The Suzuki Alto is one of the most popular and affordable hatchbacks in Pakistan, known for its fuel efficiency, compact design, and reliability. Assembled by Pak Suzuki, the Alto is widely favored for city driving due to its easy maneuverability and low running costs.
In Pakistan, the Suzuki Alto is available in three main variants: Alto VXR, Alto VXR AGS, and Alto VXL-AGS. The VXR is the base model with basic features and a manual transmission. The VXR AGS adds air conditioning and other comfort features, while the top-tier VXL-AGS comes with automatic gear shift (AGS) technology, power windows, and other modern enhancements.
As of 2025, the Alto VXR is priced at Rs2,707,000, while the VXR Upgraded is at Rs2,827,000. The VXR-AGS (Auto Gear Shift) version costs Rs2,894,000, and its upgraded variant is Rs2,989,000. For those seeking more features, the VXL-AGS is available at Rs3,045,000, with the upgraded model reaching Rs3,140,000.
Expected New Prices
If the proposal to increase the standard GST to 18% is approved, the ex-factory prices of the Suzuki Alto would increase by Rs120,000-Rs180,000 from July 2025.
