Despite the continuing supply chain problems, raw material and chip shortages, and the devaluation of the local currency versus the US dollar, the government has ordered manufacturers dealing in locally produced cars not to raise their prices (USD).

However, manufacturers dealing in Completely Built-Up (CBU) cars were not given such directives, resulting in numerous price increases on their side.

Haval has been the most tenacious of all such manufacturers, increasing the cost of their cars twice within a few months after their debut.

Following a significant rise in the price of the Haval Jolion, Sazgar Engineering Works Limited (SEWL) has decided to announce a price increase for the H6 SUV as well.

The price has been raised by Rs. 354,000, bringing the current price of the H6 to Rs. 6,849,000, up from Rs. 6,495,000 before.

It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned ex-factory price of the car indicates that, with the delivery charge added, the SUV is likely to cost more than Rs. 6.9 million. It's also worth noting that, with the latest price increase, the H6 now costs almost the same as the all-electric MG ZS EV, which costs around Rs. 6.8 million.

The USD rate is currently at a record high of nearly Rs. 170, indicating a massive shockwave of price hikes in the near future, as cost-influencing factors such as supply chain issues, chip shortage, raw material crisis, and the depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee appear to be getting out of the government's control.
