Changan Alsvin ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

[taseensoomro]

Agreed. There’s no point to give high price tag to Chinese junkies. Specially if some damage occurs owner have to wait until parts arrives. If you take City/Yaris there qabali parts are available like good as new same. My friend Corolla steering rank ended it life time he live at some village which have really worst road and bumps. We just went to the plaza got it for 11k. If it would be Alsvin it’s really hard to imagine to get qabali part of it even it would be headache if dealership get it delivered.

Parts is not an issue. Availability will improve with time.

The only concern is incorrect pricing and long term reliability.

You look like a new troll account, dedicated to bash new entrants in Pakistan. Whether paid or doing it on a free basis doesn't matter.

A troll is a troll, who has contributed zero to the actual discussion of a car.

[zahid.geol]

You seem to have missed my actual discussion on it.
Or you don't want to hear the truth. Either way I am mentioning them again for you....

1. Poor after sales and parts availability and expense
2. Six month delivery time
3. No HA, no TC, No VSC
4. Extremely overpriced. Price in Gulf with the above features is = PKR 1.6 million.
5. Poor finishing and fitting of parts

Yeah go for it, It's an amazing car.
Yes I am being paid millions to spread awareness.

[taseensoomro]

Speaking truth isn’t being trolled or paid account. Accepting the fact is more important. They aren’t giving Alsvin free. We do appreciate new entries but this doesn’t mean to give us bad quality with poor pricing over priced. This thing should be considered. We all know how new entries like Cherry QQ did in past. Mean while all other companies have reduced prices around 100k and still they reduced only 50k. It seems like they don’t want to stay in Pakistan.

[roboxx]

Only 50k decrease? Lolx
They are only here to get cash and benefits.

Bhai the only brand paying for fake publicity is Alsvin...

Flop Sales tell the story, despite all the propoganda campaign and fake stories, Changhan has not yet managed to sell 1000 cars across the country after more than half a year of its launch while they lied about 17000 bookings in one day... they provided the worst quality and sales number is going down day by day

Actually despite being very poorly built Changhan managed to sell Karvaan, they took Pakistani awam as idiots and thought that they may be able to sell every scrap at double its worth. They forgot that sedan segment belongs to a class with slightly higher intelligence level.

A layman buys Karvaan because of space... its a mazdoori wali van, they damn care about quality... however, sedan segment is a different story.. here people don't do engine swaps after a year, they don't seal windows with silicone to avoid leaking water... like they did in Karvaan...

They want quality, local/Japanese origin sedan lasts 10 years trouble free while chinese SUVs are heating up when driven with AC in congested city traffic... if they have plans to stay, they need to work on quality and reduce prices

[taseensoomro]

Well said. Meanwhile Yaris just sold 30k units.
Toyota Yaris is currently the highest-selling sedan in Pakistan.

Yaris has sold almost 30000 units, towering over the combined number of Honda Civic & City. In fact, sales of the Toyota Yaris stand higher than the combined number of all 1300cc & above cars sold in the market.

Yaris do have some problems BUT they are too small to even matter. Like people talk about it being elevated too much, and it's shape. These are just minor minor issues even if you call these issues. The more people see it the more it's shape is going to be accepted. The elevation in itself is also a plus on bad roads of Pak. Overall Yaris is surely value for money and that's why it gained popularity in Pak and it is indicated by number of cars sold. In the coming years some of the sales may go to city but Yaris would remain a value for money car in this segment

[engineerjibran]

another reason was no competition at all , it was just facing a 13 years old dinosaur. In that range there was only yaris. Let the 7 year old city arrive dude. 90 percent of the people dont even know what HA VSC or traction control is.

[zahid.geol]

It is important to talk about these features and ultimately people even the uneducated will know what to look for in a car other than its looks

[engineerjibran]

Ciaz failed and city kept selling for that very reason , ciaz was better in every aspect.

[roboxx]

If Ciaz was better at the product end or at the company end, then why it failed in our country?

[engineerjibran]

it had airbags and was a relatively new product, more spacious and better suspensions. Built quality of interior and exterior both were better , what was missing in it? It wasnt a toyotas or hondas sedan. Lol FGS it was a CBU. People like suzukis small cars.

[zahid.geol]

It was expensive than Honda City because it was a CBU.
Suzuki kept on increasing its price (understandable for a CBU)
It was not the exact CBU, they stripped out everything except 2 airbags. It became a sedan without any features. Being expansive and offering nothing else above the competition except 2 airbags it was bound to fail. It could have been good competition as a CKD with some added features but not as a stripped down CBU unit.

[roboxx]

Then it was a stripped down expensive car. How could it be a success.

[zahid.geol]

Here's Why Pak Suzuki Has Discontinued the Ciaz in Pakistan

[engineerjibran]

It had a better built quality.
airbags.
value for money over honda city.
