Need suggestions for a hatchback within 25 lac PKR budget

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to buy my first car with a budget of around 25 lac PKR. I’m a freelancer and work remotely, so my daily driving is quite limited. Most of my usage will be:

- Weekend outings

- Occasional city-to-city trips

- Trips towards Murree, and Islamabad once in after 2 months

Since this is going to be my first car, I’m specifically looking for a hatchback that is comfortable, reliable and smooth to drive. I’d also like something that can handle longer trips reasonably well.

My plan is to keep the car for around 6 months to 1 year and then sell it and move towards a sedan once I have a bigger budget and more experience with car ownership.

What hatchbacks would you recommend within 25 lac PKR? I’m particularly looking for something with good resale value, reasonable maintenance costs, comfortable driving and decent performance on long drive.

I’m open to both local and Japanese-used options.

Would really appreciate suggestions from people who have actually owned or driven these cars, especially regarding reliability, fuel average, maintenance and resale.

Thanks!
