DFSK Humsafar

Engine and gearbox

The DFSK Humsafar is the newer version of the K07 mini van that Regal Automobiles sells in Pakistan. DFSK Pakistan’s website prices it at PKR 2,669,000. It has a 997 cc petrol engine that DFSK rates at 52.2 hp, driving through a 5-speed manual gearbox with a hydraulic clutch. DFSK confirms the Humsafar is manual only. Third-party sites list torque as 78 Nm and say the van is rear-wheel drive. DFSK does not publish a fuel average.

Size and practicality

The Humsafar is a compact people-carrier and load van. DFSK highlights its ergonomically designed interior and what it calls a super-large loading space. Third-party listings give the body as about 4065 mm long, 1560 mm wide and 1925 mm tall, with 175 mm of ground clearance. Older and newer third-party sources disagree on seating (6 or 7) and on the wheelbase, so these figures are not included here. Check the seating layout at a dealer before you buy. In our opinion, the narrow body makes it easy to use in crowded streets, but the cabin will feel tight with every seat filled.

Equipment

The Humsafar is sold in one version. DFSK lists electric power steering, power windows and dual air conditioning, which means cooling for rear passengers as well as the front. Suspension is MacPherson independent at the front with a five-bar semi-independent rear. Exterior design touches named by DFSK include tiger-eye-shaped headlamps and combination tail lamps. DFSK does not publish airbag or ABS details for the Humsafar.

Warranty and after-sales

DFSK Pakistan’s website advertises a standard warranty of 3 years or 60,000 km. Regal Automobiles also offers three free preventive maintenance services, at 1,000 km, 5,000 km and 10,000 km, with free labour but paid parts and lubricants. Servicing is done at Prince-DFSK 3S dealerships across major cities.

Which variant to buy

There is only one Humsafar, so the decision is whether it fits your needs and budget. In our opinion, it suits small businesses and larger families who want more space than a hatchback and dual AC, without paying for a bigger van. If you regularly carry more than six or seven people, DFSK’s 11-seat C37 is the step up. Price sites currently disagree on the Humsafar’s price, so ask a dealer for a written quotation before booking.
