The SUV race in Pakistan is witnessing a major transformation as Haval, a Chinese automaker, takes the lead with record-breaking sales. In October 2025, Haval sold 1,379 units, outpacing the well-known Toyota Corolla Cross, which sold only 197 units during the same period.
This strong performance shows how quickly Haval is winning the trust of Pakistani buyers. Known for its sleek design, advanced features, and affordable pricing, Haval has positioned itself as a modern and value-driven brand in Pakistan’s growing SUV segment.
Its popular models, such as the H6 and Jolion, offer cutting-edge technology and safety features that appeal to young professionals and families alike.
Experts say that Pakistani consumers are becoming more open to Chinese brands as they offer premium features at competitive prices. With rising car prices and import challenges affecting traditional Japanese brands, new entrants like Haval are taking advantage of the changing market dynamics.
Toyota’s Corolla Cross, despite its strong heritage and reliability, is struggling to match the combination of innovation and affordability that Haval offers.
The recent sales figures highlight a clear shift in customer preferences and suggest that Chinese automakers are here to stay. If this trend continues, Haval could soon become the go-to SUV brand in Pakistan, setting new standards for design, performance, and accessibility in the country’s automotive industry.
