Hyundai Nishat Motor (Private) Limited has announced an increase in freight charges across various car models. This decision, officially communicated through a government circular on May 19, 2025, will take effect from June 1, 2025, and will be applicable to all vehicles with invoices issued on or after this date. The move is expected to impact several popular Hyundai models, including the Hyundai Porter, Elantra Hybrid, Tucson Hybrid, Sonata, and Santa Fe Hybrid.
The company has decided to impose an additional freight charge of 15,000 Pakistani Rupees on these models. Hyundai has instructed its dealer network and sales teams to update their internal systems and workflows to reflect these new prices. Moreover, sales staff has been advised to stay in close contact with area sales managers to ensure smooth implementation of the new pricing policy.
According to Hyundai, this increase in freight charges is part of a broader strategic effort to manage rising transportation costs across the country. The company aims to maintain high-quality service and ensure the timely delivery of vehicles despite the inflationary pressures affecting logistics and freight expenses.
For consumers, the price hike and additional freight charges mean higher overall costs when purchasing Hyundai vehicles. Potential buyers should expect an increase of about 15,000 rupees in the final invoice price for the affected models. This could potentially influence purchasing decisions, especially as vehicle prices in Pakistan are already witnessing upward trends due to various economic factors.

While the rise in freight charges might be viewed as an additional financial burden, Hyundai asserts that this step is necessary to sustain quality service and efficient delivery across all regions. The company emphasizes that such strategic adjustments are vital in the current economic environment to ensure customer satisfaction and the continued availability of Hyundai’s vehicle lineup nationwide.
Consumers planning to buy Hyundai vehicles are advised to contact authorized dealerships for detailed pricing information and to stay updated with any further modifications. The move underscores the challenges automakers face with logistics costs and highlights the importance of strategic planning to ensure product availability and service excellence in a fluctuating economic landscape.
