Where prices of cars are climbing every month in Pakistan, it’s a bit daunting task to find the best cars under 30 Lakhs in Pakistan nowadays. Although, car prices in Pakistan have increased from 35% to 40% in Pakistan in the last couple of months due to local currency devaluation and import restrictions.
An increase in prices is higher than overall inflation over the same period. Despite the higher prices, many car buyers do not get the best value for their money. So, how we can buy the best car we need?
As a 1st step, a buyer needs to determine the type of vehicle he needs and his budget. Then think about the actual needs, family size, and financing.
Here, we will discuss the best affordable cars available in Pakistan under a budget of 30 Lakhs. But if you have slightly more budget on your hand, then you can also check out cars under 40 lakhs as well.
“Do hard work in silence and let your new car make some noise.”
By the way, if you are interested in buying a new car through a Bank, it is a good idea to make a minimum down payment of 50% of the price of the vehicle. In this way, your monthly instalments will be reasonable with a minimum interest rate.

It is equipped with a K-series 3 cylinders DOHC 12 Valve Engine with an engine displacement of 998cc. Its fuel tank capacity is 35 liters and the minimum turning radius is 4.6 meters.
Suzuki Wagon R also has some issues like manual outside mirrors. The mirror is neither retractable nor auto-adjustable. To adjust them manually, each time you have to lower the mirror and adjust them manually.
Only the WagonR AGS variant has a single airbag on the driver’s side and the quality of the seat belt is not up to the level. The build quality is low and the seating comfort is also not as good as compared to the KIA Picanto and Toyota Vitz.
Further, its centre console space is very limited due to gear positioning and you cannot keep your mobile and wallet in it. Compared to the Suzuki Mehran, it has a softer suspension and if you drive it above 100 km/h, it will start wobbling.

When it comes to convenience and technology, Daihatsu Mira has a lot to offer. The Daihatsu Mira is very popular in Pakistan due to its sporty look and vibrant colors. It is powered by a 658cc engine that provides amazing performance on the roads.
It is available in different colours and its small size makes it perfect for a small family. The price of a Daihatsu depends on the model, mileage, variants, and overall condition.
The constant devaluation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar is increasing vehicle prices in Pakistan. However, the price of Daihatsu Mira in Pakistan ranges from PKR 2,875,000 to PKR 3,254,000.
Despite the small size, the Daihatsu Mira has surprisingly enough space in front and you can also stretch your legs. However, the back seats are rather cramped, especially for tall people.
Legroom for rear seat passengers is also limited but can be increased by adjusting the front seats. The dashboard has all basic controls including power starring, digital speedometer, AC, and CD.
The Daihatsu Mira X has a 3-cylinder DOHC (dual Overhead Camshaft) engine, a regular gasoline engine KF-VE which is much more fuel efficient than a 4-cylinder engine of the same size.
The engine generates a maximum power of 58.8 PS @ 7200 rpm and a maximum torque of 64.7 @ 4000 rpm. Daihatsu Mira X has a rear drum brake and disk brake at the front.
Its safety features include two airbags in all variants except the Mira G SA III, which has 6 airbags to keep you safe in any kind of unfortunate situation.
Daihatsu Mira X gives an impressive fuel mileage of approximately 18 km/L in the city and 22 km/L on highways and its competitor Suzuki Mehran gives a fuel mileage of approximately 15 Km/L in the city and 18 Km/L on highways.
However, fuel efficiency goes down if you accelerate the vehicle instantly from a stop sign.
In Pakistan, Daihatsu Mira is available in the following four variants.
- Daihatsu Mira X
- Daihatsu Mira B
- Daihatsu Mira L
- Daihatsu Mira G SA III
Suzuki Alto 660cc is a main competitor of Daihatsu Mira and is consistently ranked as the best-selling brand in Pakistan due to its strong economy, cheap spare parts, and low maintenance cost.
Mitsubishi EK Wagon 660cc is another strong competitor of Daihatsu Mira. It is also a Japanese brand and its price ranges from PKR 1,690,000 to PKR 2,520,000 for a used Mitsubishi Ek Wagon 660cc. It has an attractive exterior and it gives a fuel mileage of 18 km/Litre on a smooth drive. But its maintenance is quite expensive and spare parts are not easily available.
The Verdict
So, these were some of the most easy to get cars under 30 lakhs in Pakistan. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find a hybrid car in Pakistan under 3 Million Rupees. I think in the future any other car company will try to introduce hybrid cars for low cost in the Pakistani market.
Previously, the Nissan Roox, a hybrid car was available for 27 Lakh Rupees in Pakistan. But now, its price has jumped over and it’s nowhere to be found on showrooms in big cities across Pakistan.
For now, the Suzuki Alto remains the first choice among Pakistani consumers. Due to the availability of parts and easy maintenance, it’s worth going after Suzuki Alto which sells around 30 Lakh Rupees in Pakistan.
Though the price doesn’t do justice to the features you get in the Suzuki Mehran, there’s no other choice to go with under this tight budget range.
