In June 2025, Master Changan Motors (Changan Pakistan) reached a milestone: with more than 1,936 units sold, it surpassed traditional marques like Honda and took the third position in Pakistan’s automobile market, just behind Suzuki and Toyota.
This rise indicates Changan’s fast growth ever since it entered the Pakistani market in 2018. For consumers and industry observers alike, the move marks shifting brand allegiances, increasing Chinese car presence, and dynamic competition that is redefining the market.
Sales Surge and Market Ranking
Numbers from industry reports and social media authentication validate that Changan Pakistan alone sold over 1,936 units in the month of June, led by robust demand for its Alsvin sedan and Oshan X7 SUV.
Overall, Changan sold more than 56,000 units in Pakistan since its launch, 13,391 of them in FY 2025. Such performance helped Changan to edge out Honda and become the third-highest-selling car brand in June 2025.
Changan’s hit products are the Alsvin small sedan and Oshan X7 SUV, both assembled locally by Master Changan Motors Ltd. The Alsvin targets city drivers with a 1.5L engine, dual-clutch automatic, sunroof, and safety features for PKR 4.15M to 4.99M.
The Oshan X7 SUV attracts customers looking for family room and tech: 7-speed DCT, adaptive cruise control, 360° cameras, and trendy interiors. They balance affordability with features that appeal to Pakistani consumers.
Strategic Partnerships & Local Manufacturing
Master Changan Motors is a joint venture between Master Motors Pakistan and Changan Automobile China. Its 2018 Karachi plant has an annual production capacity of 30,000 units and localises assembly to manage costs.
Investments, which include a 2.5 MW solar power project, also demonstrate Changan’s focus on sustainable, high‑volume manufacturing. Export prospects to SAARC and ASEAN markets demonstrate aspirations well beyond Pakistan.
Based on PAMA figures, Suzuki and Toyota continue to lead with about 44% and 19% market share, respectively, followed by Honda and Hyundai. Changan’s achievement of becoming third-ranked shakes this pecking order, demonstrating that a Chinese model can go head-to-head with Japanese producers.
As a non-PAMA automaker, its figures don’t always appear in official statistics, but third-party sales data verify its presence.
What it Means for Pakistan’s Auto Industry
Changan’s success marks a shift: Pakistani consumers increasingly want more features, superior design, and competitive prices. Chinese players such as Changan, MG, and JAC are enjoying the boost of a benevolent auto policy, localisation, and forceful after-sales.
With Changan’s local production ramping up and models tailored to changing tastes, they’re transforming automotive competition in Pakistan. Experts predict this trend to continue if quality, inventory, and service continue to stay robust.
Master Changan Motors’ leap to the third-largest car company in Pakistan is an indication of fast brand rise, aggressive product planning, and changing consumer attitudes.
For Pakistani motorists, Master Changan brings a new choice and competitive value. For the sector, it legitimates a new world in which Chinese car manufacturers make a serious claim on emerging markets, and are soon likely to challenge for the leadership positions.
