Changan Alsvin ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

I believe it's a cheap tactic by some dealership to get people to book Cultus.

[abdullah1913]

who says that prices would get revealed on 1st Jan.....?????? it is a rumor only

[chinyoti]

Cultus prices were revised by 35000, later VXL, and AGS variants were revised by 100,000. VXRs increase is pending.

[civicdrifter]

Rupee is gonna depreciate further no doubt... so I would say smarter thing is to wait a few days.

But agar aap resale ke bare me concern ho DEFINATELY book cultus now. In our market big 3 used price from more than 2-3 years ago is even more than brand new. Whereas it will decrease by 2-4 lac for these Chinese cars no matter what

[civicdrifter]

U can always trade your higher footing big 3 vehicle for slightly use alsvin in a few years. And I would even advise go for AGS, it's a big hit.
I'm against big 3 monopoly, but if some Chinese company thinks they can loot people only on name of features they have to realise Pakistan is not some kind of cash cow... if you wanna come in the market price your items like the rest of the world, below Suzuki Toyota and Honda. Sirf Pakistan me hi substandard cheez double me bikti hai... dont give them too much hype otherwise u know...

[mrkt123]

Actually VXR increase is not pending. At launch, VXR was 1250000 and VXL was 1391000. If price is increased by 41.6%, VXR price becomes 1780000 ans VXL price becomes 1970000; which are the current prices.

For example in Saudi Arabia Alsvin starts from 32,900 Riyals which is equal to 14,00,000 Pakistani rupees while Honda city in Saudi Arabia starts from 55,500 Riyals equal to 23,86,000 rupees and yaris there is priced from 52,785 Riyals which equals to 22,70,000 rupees at the current exchange rate. Why should we pay more?

there are a lot of taxes imposed by the government so you cannot just say that because it is of that price in another market, so it should be in Pak market too. A lot of factors come into play like sales, taxes, cost, etc.
khair, the bottom line is yes the cars are way way way expensive now than they should've been.

[mudassar788]

Com'on, please don't repeat this tax theory

Toyota/Honda also pay same tax, even new entrant with green field status will have 50% tax benefits.

So, if the price difference between Yaris and Alsvin in Saudia is like 8 lacs, then it is possible to have same prices like Lumiere and Ativ X difference should be 8 lacs, difference should be more as Changan has greenfield status but beside everything, the difference should be 8 lacs I believe.

are you suggesting that Toyota and Honda are sold at cheaper rates ?

[civicdrifter]

He is suggesting Chinese brands are priced lower than Japanese and European brands in general. This is the norm all over the world. New brands always have to pour in extra effort to make a name first if they want to survive. Otherwise, bye bye.

of course. so is the case in Pakistan. Chinese brands are sold at cheaper rates than their competitive segment cars.

[sakibbb]

Any news of changan price reveal?

[mrkt123]

Finally my patience and nerves gave up. And I booked Cultus today sadly. Because if Cultus price is raised and Alsvin is also out of range, I will not be able to get any car. Good luck to other Changan Aspirants.

[rahulthemexican]

Wise choice, may Allah make you owner of both one day Inshallah. Cultus is a great car as someone mentioned, you made the best decision in the given timeframe.

[Massive_One]

Finally my patience and nerves gave up. And I booked Cultus today sadly.

brother don't be sad, i think you made a wise choice.
later in the years if you like Alsvin, you can sale your cultus and buy the latter, but cultus isn't a bad choice at all

[adnan.shaukat]

good decision - no need to be sad - did you paid full amount - so your car price will be current one ? because i heard that if Price is revised before delivery or full payment, then buyer would have to pay the difference/increase , Also what is criteria of recent new tax of 1-2 lakh to discourage On-Mafia from 1st jan 2021?

[mrkt123]

Yes I paid full amount. Because paisey wesey bhi account mein hi rehney they. Dealer said that now you have paid full amount so price change will not affect this booking. He also said that this is last booking of our quota this year. Next Cultus booking will be in 2021 on increased price. Own pe tax wala scene to yehi suna hey k jo 3 months mein sell karey ga us pe lagey ga tax.

[mrkt123]

Thanks. Ji ab to yehi plan hey k 2-3 saal Cultus chalatey hain. Tub tak Alsvin/ Saga ki quality ka bhi pta lag jaye ga

[mrkt123]

Yes. Because agar price 1 lakh barrh jaye to 3-4 mahiney lag jatey hain wo save karney mein. Jub wo save hotey hain to pta lagta hey k price phir barrh gyi hey
