Latest News, Buying & Selling Guides for New and Used Cars

Choosing the right car in the B-segment is important because these vehicles are often the primary transport for families in Pakistan. As of February and March 2026, the market has seen some interesting shifts, including price drops for certain models and updated features for others.

Here is an expanded look at the most popular B-segment cars to help you make a better choice.

1. Toyota Yaris

The Toyota Yaris is a favorite for those who want a "fill it and shut it" experience. It is famous for its reliability and the fact that you can find a mechanic for it in almost any city or village in Pakistan.

• Updated Prices: PKR 46.5 lacs to PKR 64.5 lacs.

• Fuel Economy: It gives around 12–14 km/l in the city and up to 16 km/l on the highway.

• Safety & Features: Even the base models come with dual airbags and ABS. The top-of-the-line Ativ X variant offers a push-start button, climate control, and a multi-info display.

• Best For: People who plan to sell their car after a few years and want the highest resale value.

2. Honda City

The Honda City is often seen as a status symbol in the B-segment. It offers a low-slung, sporty look that many younger drivers and professionals prefer.

• Updated Prices: PKR 47.4 lacs to PKR 61.5 lacs.

• Inside the Cabin: It has a very large boot (510 liters), which is better than the Yaris for carrying heavy luggage. The dashboard design feels more modern and premium.

• The Drive: Honda is known for its "v-tec" engines, which feel more responsive and powerful when you accelerate on the highway.

• Best For: Drivers who prioritize a stylish interior and a smooth, "planted" feel on the road.

3. Suzuki Swift

The Suzuki Swift is the only premium hatchback in this list. It is much more advanced than the older Swift models people remember from years ago.

• Updated Prices: PKR 44.6 lacs to PKR 47.7 lacs.

• Safety Leader: The GLX CVT variant is impressive because it comes with 6 airbags, cruise control, and LED projection headlamps. Many larger sedans do not offer this many airbags.

• Handling: Because it is shorter than a sedan, it is very agile. It’s the easiest car to drive through the narrow streets of Lahore or Karachi.

• Best For: Small families or individuals who want a high-tech car that is easy to park.

4. Changan Alsvin

The Alsvin has shaken up the market by offering "Lumiere" features (like a sunroof) at a price point where competitors only offer basic models. In early 2026, Changan announced a price reduction, making it even more attractive.

• Updated Prices: PKR 37.9 lacs to PKR 46.0 lacs.

• Key Features: It includes a 7-inch floating display, a sunroof, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in the top trim.

• Engine Performance: The 1.5L DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) version provides very quick gear shifts, making the drive feel energetic.

• Best For: Budget-conscious buyers who want the luxury "feel" of a sunroof and leather-style seats without spending 60 lacs.

5. Kia Stonic

While it sits on the edge of being a "Crossover," many buyers compare the kia Stonic to the City and Yaris because of its size and price.

• Updated Prices: PKR 48.6 lacs to PKR 59.9 lacs.

• Build Quality: Many owners feel the build quality and paint finish of the Stonic are superior to locally designed sedans.

• Ground Clearance: It sits slightly higher off the ground, which is a huge advantage during the rainy season or on broken roads.

• Best For: Someone who wants the "SUV look" in a compact, city-friendly size.
