Despite the recent economic unrest in Pakistan, the Honda HR-V has attracted a lot of attention from automobile customers there. The delivery period has been increased by up to 9 months by Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL) due to a reportedly high number of bookings and a low manufacturing volume.
According to a 3S dealership spokesperson, the HR-V VTi-S will be delivered in July 2023, while the VTi will be delivered in September 2023.
He said that the longer lead time is due to the fact that the VTi version has gotten more orders than the VTi-S. Both models are reportedly readily accessible for Rs. 500,000 in “own money” at some dealerships, according to a report from Autojournal.pk

Despite this, however, Honda HR-V has grown to be very well known.
