Luminar only has

SunroofCruise control Smart stop

There will be more differences aswell. Let the official specs sheet come out. Cruise control bhi i guess sirf top variant mein hai

The website has a spec sheet loaded aswell. Not sure if its final.

Nice car overall. Hope it's priced well and sees success so that the Big-3 can get a big kick in the nuts.

Does the screen have android or CarPlay?

[wasiqshahab94]

Probably not.
But when all competitors only give infotainment screens on their higher trims, full marks to Changan for giving the same screen across the entire range.

[faakhir19]

They gave many features across the range like TPMS, Steering controls, etc.

Thanks, does someone know when it's coming on display?

Aoa sir, just wanna say thanks for all ur support @faakhir19 , some very dedicated and knowledgeable people on this blog

Now, being a fellow pakistani we all know what a jugar is... my question is very specific, so totally understand if this info is not yet available /no one knows (yet):

• For the luminere version, we get the same features as 1.5 DCT base with additional cruise control, sunroof and TPS. Now personally im not very thrilled about sunroof (another thing to maintain) and TPS (which I can measure the traditional way ). However, being a chinese car is there cruise control module available via 3rd party (Alibaba for eg?)... you can watch the same being fitted in the steering of this Tuscon... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LonlsprAsU

• Can someone post any links etc for aftermarket parts... initially as i understand market will be limited, and i aint taking this beauty into gawal mandi if i end up buying it... so my question is are parts available through international chinese suppliers?

• Further to above point, can the stock 7 inch screen be replaced with android unit (specifically for this version of Alsvin - again avail online?) without interfering/incorporating the car options provided (for eg welcome light control, DRLs etc..)

Thanks!!!!

Theres also vids avaiable online where people do the same with toyota aqua (also known as prius S in america), basically just installing a switch and some electrics with it, seems easy since all u need is a screwdriver to open the steering and wrench to install the switch. Because if the difference in OEM and 3rd party to avail cruise control is 2-3 lac then you can understand why i see better uses for it

Something like this for alsvin would save the day... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32968249998.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.627c1ac7m9pnK3&algo_pvid=5bdeed01-ec22-436a-bb97-2e0ca90a5fd7&algo_expid=5bdeed01-ec22-436a-bb97-2e0ca90a5fd7-1&btsid=0b0a555916077253520051924e8f13&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

Something similar spotted in luminere version steering (pic from changan.com.pk website)

Alsvin has the cruise in steering wheel unlike Corolla and other Toyotas. Even if its possible, it won't be available in local market for atleast an year. And even if you manage to get all the required parts of cruise, you won't be able to find a good electrician to install that. Better is to go with full optional variant to avoid any damage later.

There are a lot of options which are specifically in Alsvin lcd and not there in locally available Chinese ones. So I don't think that would be possible.

This is not cruise control. This is the key inserted in the car.
