15 lacs main Alto VXR milti nai nai ab and ap Alsvin ki baat kr rhy

It's Pakistan bhai. Idhr logoon ki aik mentality ye bhi hy k itni sasti hy tu zaroort masly hn gy and Changan apni product ki price iss liye bhi UP rakhy ge.

[tmuzammil05]

There is no such mentality as you have mentioned dear. For a new company to make a certain position in market share , it will have to keep its prices low . Because its not a Volkswagen or Ford that is well known to Pakistanis. Its a new name for them. Once they have gained a certain market share and a trust of people , they will wipe Toyota's Yaris forever. That's why , they have to keep their prices low. And believe me , by a keeping their price at 15 lacs , they will still be earning a profit because of increased sales as everyone will prefer to buy a " Diggi Wali Garri " than buying Suzuki hatchbacks . However, if they keep their prices above 20 lacs , everyone will be interested in buying 3 to 4 year old Corolla / City etc due to their better name , resales , spare parts availability at cheaper prices.

Different tyre sizes for different variants?

I think 14' steel in Basic and 15' alloys in Lumiere.

[mrkt123]

Can anyone tell about ground clearance? Can't find any info on that. 150 mm standard international ground clearance will be street food in Pakistan.

[roboxx]

Same didn't happen to FAW. Although they kept their 1.3L car's price at the lowest compared with 1L Suzukis. Still they are far behind.

[usman19854]

FAW in china decided to let go of the FAW brand and focus on its partnerships and upstream business more, this meant that the local partner here was left pretty much abandoned. In comparison, Changan here has a sizeable equity stake and wants to make this plant their RHD export base which sounds really promising.

Same size wheels with alloys for all variants as per Changan Pakistan website

[faakhir19]

15' alloys are standard in Pakistan across all variants

[tmuzammil05]

First , I bought a faw myself back in 2012 . The Major problem was The Availability Of Spare Parts . Leave their prices. Believe me , they were not even available on Company Dearlerships which lead to its failure. Even the drive pleasure of a faw V2 was way less than a Suzuki swift . Secondly , 3 years back there was not that much difference in the price of a new Suzuki Swift , some years old city and new faw . So why you would buy a car that have chances to become your headache rather than buying a problem free car ?
As I said earlier that New Companies have to minimize their profit to increase the difference in prices of their cars as compared to Big 3's. Its a common thing that anyone would have bought an year used swift or some years old Corolla for diggi rather than buying a new faw three years back and will buy 3 to 4 old year old Corolla instead of buying this alsvin now because of mental peace that you don't have to worry about its spare parts and other things.

Please share ground clearance of Alsvin ..

[roboxx]

Hopefully Changan will not leave Alsvin's buyers stranded and will keep on providing support for years to come.

How is this BlueCore engine rated economy wise?

[mudassar788]

Yes, you and me maybe think on this same line but v2 failed miserably even they have price competing alto but it failed. By many other reasons like poor build quality, no after sale etc. This myth of common Pakistani is also behind it that it's Cheaper and Chinese so it's not good.

If AlHaj Faw managed to build quality up to mark and easy part availability n after sale. It could beat at least Alto, Cultus etc if not Swift.

[zuhaibafzal]

Even Glory has very poor build quality which belongs to one of the BIG Four Chinese auto makers. FAW is also one of the big groups and what happened with V2 we all know that.

alsvin info video samaa news

First overview on launch day

[roboxx]

Changan's investment in Pakistan is a part of CPEC 2.0 ventures. So hopefully this company will stay in Pakistan.

[tmuzammil05]

Insha'Allah . Public wants new companies to come so that the competition may increase and they can have more choices

[mgalaxy3]

Can you enlighten us how did you measure it? Any report? Technicalities? Crash ratings?

Please tell us we await your input.

Bhai itne ki tou 1000cc Hatchbacks ni miltein, konsi dunya ki baatein kr re hain?

[shapeesh]

I think the infotainment system on alsvin might be CAN dependant, so it would not be easy to replace it with an off the shelf android unit. You would need a CAN decoder etc along with it.
