Salam everyone
I’m planning to upgrade and need your opinions on three options within a 5 to 5.5 million budget:
- Brand New Honda City 1.2 CVT
- Brand New Suzuki Swift GLX CVT
- Toyota Raize XS 2021 (Grade 4.5, 10k km, freshly imported in 2025)
Im planning to get Toyota Raize inspected before finalizing. On the other hand, Swift and City offer zero meter peace of mind, warranty, and strong resale
Background Info:
- We are a family of three myself, my wife, and our 12 year-old son
- Road conditions are good (Bahria Town Karachi), so no off-road capability is needed
- This car will be used for daily city driving and family outings, no heavy usage
Current Garage:
Honda Civic 2020
Suzuki Alto VXL 2025 (driven ~3,500 km)
(The new car will be replacing the Alto)
My wife has a lower back condition and has undergone surgery, so ride comfort and ease of entry/exit are important. For this reason Civic is too low for her to get in and out of comfortably
I haven’t driven the Toyota Raize yet, but I’m considering it because of its higher ride height, which might help with accessibility and comfort
Fuel average is not a very major concern. My main priorities are long term reliability (5+ years), Comfort and drive quality, Low maintenance hassle
Which of the three would you recommend based on overall value, reliability, and drive quality?
Looking forward to your suggestions. thanks in advance
