SUV and pickup segment demonstrated strong upward momentum. Toyota Fortuner and Hilux (IMVs) led the pack with 919 units sold, up from 558 last year. Haval Sazgar also posted gains, with sales rising to 1,079 units from 824 in July 2024.
The combined sales of passenger cars and SUVs/pickups for July 2025 stood at 8,189 units, higher than the 5,897 units sold in July 2024. Analysts attribute the rebound to improved consumer sentiment, easing supply chain constraints, and a slight recovery in purchasing power due to more stable macroeconomic conditions.
Industry insiders, however, caution that sustainability will depend on currency stability, import policy clarity, and continued ease in financing rates.
