1st January

[capsat]

@VCheng @Xulfiqar who is technology partner of Changan - The engine seems to be of Nissan QG series in the Alsvin.

[usman19854]

The major partnerships are Ford and Mazda. Changan Mazda and Changan Ford are both 50:50 JV's, Changan Suzuki was also a 50:50 JV but in 2018 Suzuki sold its 50% stake to Changan so now Changan operates as a licensee of Suzuki.

[VCheng]

Chinese cars are usually a mishmash of several sources, some authorized and some plagiarized.

[nomee_46]

Yes they should because its herd from sources that cultus VXR (40-50k) & Swift Manual (30-35k) price will be increased on 1st January 2021
So if Alsvin price is revealed on 1 Jan then people who are waiting may go wd suzuki cars booking to avoid increased price on 1st Jan if Alsvin price bracket don't fit their budget
Thus Changan if announce price in last week of December then they may attract more customers (only if their interior build quality matches CBU units else Pak Suzuki/Atlas/Indus motors zindabad )

Ye logoon ka response dekh rhy hain bs, zaida response aya tu price high ho ge

Mujhe tu lg rha k ye iss price py ayni.
M/T = 24lacs
A/T = 25.50lacs
Lumiere = 28lacs

[engineerjibran]

That will be their end before the start.

picanto failed to pick up because of the exact reason.

[usman19854]

Picanto failed to pick up in the start but I now see it at every other corner in Lahore, a better auto transmission is what's selling it + Suzuki's are no longer cheaper to maintain the way Mehran and old Cultus were.

Alsvin will suffer from the brand name but in the end, it depends on how aggressively they go after consumers. Making jdm imports near impossible didn't result in a sales uptick for the big 3 which shows those buyers do not want to buy the big 3 crap, it's working for Kia and it can work for Changan too if the consumer decides to look past the brand name.

Engine tappet over has resemblance with suzuki K series and given the engine displacements they are offering, it is pretty likely their engines are inspired from suzuki k series platform

Alsvin manila review and price

[abacus]

If that's the case then Bravo and Pearl are anxiously waiting for Alsvin up there. No matter how beautiful and twisting words they use, price will be key deciding factor, no sane man will go for Chinese brands who's price is at par with a well established brand here.

[mudassar788]

Exactly. if Lumiere will cross 2.5 million, it will fail I believe.

For me
2.1m = M/T
2.25m = DCT
2.45m = Lumiere

Lets see.

[mromarimtiaz]

1.95 for M/T
2.10 for A/T
Difference between manual and auto transmissions is usually under 1.5 lacs. It may be a bit higher here since this one is a DCT.
2.45 for Lumiere makes sense to me

[danishmmh]

If 2.1 for auto then Lumiere should not be 1.5 plus max. It has sunroof and few gadgets. Mind you Chinese add-ons agree not that expensive

[civicdrifter]

Want win win
Planning win lose

Reality lose lose

Fix prices asap

[ahmed.in.med]

I'm in exact same situation was waiting for alsvin but may pursue cultus vxr booking now.

[mrkt123]

Same here. I was waiting for Alsvin. Will be still waiting till 28, otherwise going to book Cultus VXL.

[sakibbb]

I think you should wait till price reveal of Alsvin (1st January)

[ahmed.in.med]

There is a famous saying bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Jan 1 is tentative and suzuki is playing hard for it's customers. I have to make a choice and sorry if I offend anyone but I'll be prioritizing resale on nearly 2 million that I intend to invest.

[engineerjibran]

picanto only picked up because of lack of availability of airbags and hence werent able to give the delivery date.
