Introduction
Pakistan is the 5th most populous country in the world. Greater population means more traffic on the roads. Driving a car on the roads of Pakistani cities, especially prominent cities such as Lahore and Karachi is a difficult task.
It is not only the traffic but also the inappropriate way of driving that makes it worse. Every day, people face massive and disrupted traffic on their ways to home, schools, and offices. Many a time, citizens are seen getting cranky on the roads due to this situation.
For this reason, these days’ people prefer small hatchbacks over big sedans when it comes to choosing a vehicle. They are of the view that small, compact cars are easy to maintain and simple to drive on busy roads of Pakistan.
Besides, the increased price hike of cars in Pakistan has discouraged people from buying high-end cars such as Honda Accord. In this article, we will discuss in detail some of the best options available in small cars with low prices in Pakistan.
Advantages of buying Small Cars
Although car customers already prefer small cars yet we have listed down a few advantages of buying small cars. This will help you in clearing any doubts you have regarding small cars.
- Easy to Park
Small cars are easy to park because of their compactness and simplicity. In Pakistan, parking areas are not well defined and proper thus this seems to be the top-most advantage of buying a small car. They easily fit into tight spaces and allow you to easily open the doors without hitting the adjacent vehicle.
- Affordability
Small cars are very effective when it comes to affordability. The reason is the usage of fewer materials while manufacturing which makes them cheap. Besides, they are fuel-efficient and small engines release less exhaust which makes them environmentally friendly as well. Moreover, their parts are easily available at less prices thus making their maintenance easier.
- Maneuverability
Another advantage of buying a small car is their ability to maneuver which is a result of the lower center of gravity. On top of that, less weight makes the steering smooth, more responsive, and the turning of the car simpler.
- Resale Value
Many times, small cars have better resale value than most big cars. The reason is all the above-mentioned advantages that attract a wide variety of buyers.
