Automakers, beset by exchange rate volatility, increase in taxes and a dwindling supply of parts, have recently given their consumers a big shock by hiking prices.

Some of the companies that have revised their rates are Indus Motor Corporation (IMC), Kia Lucky Motor Corporation (KLMC), Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL) and Hyundai Nishat Motors.

Dawn.com looks at three major automakers and the difference in their rates before and after the hikes.
