If the bank buys the car and owns it, then sells it to the client for a profit, with the price paid in installments, this is a Sharia-compliant sale and purchase transaction. The bank's retention of the car as a pledge until its price is paid off does not affect this. However, entering into the contract is prohibited if it includes a Sharia-forbidden element, such as a late payment penalty.
