Hyundai Nishat Motors has officially opened bookings for the much-anticipated Sonata 2025. Interestingly, there’s no mention of this on their official website, and the price remains undisclosed. Upon contacting a Hyundai Nishat dealership, we learned that the company has not yet announced the price and was hesitant to even provide a ballpark figure. The official launch is expected by mid-January 2025, with the price set to be revealed at the time of the launch. However, unofficial sources estimate the price range to be between PKR 10 million and PKR 13 million for the 2.0L and 2.5L variants.
Despite the uncertainty around pricing, bookings are now open. Customers can reserve their Sonata 2025 with a deposit of PKR 2.5 million. Deliveries are expected to begin in February 2025, with pre-booking customers likely to receive their cars within 10 to 15 days of the official launch.
