Choosing between Changan Oshan X7 Future sense and Haval H6

adas features (most of which are useless in lahore traffic anyways)

100% agreed on that!

Although from my understanding the only notable ADAS feature missing would be Lane Keep Assist and autonomous parking (yes there may be a few others but I would say not noteworthy). Only ever time I use lane keep assist in Lahore is on ring road but there it works like a charm and feels like the car is truly driving itself.

What's the reliability feedback from both cars thus far? I'd assume Haval has better after sale support compared to Changan. I don't have any personal experience in that regard but hear some horror stories about Changan in that regard

I hear from most people that Lane Centering and Lane Keep are useless in Lahore traffic but I've never turned off mine and it's very helpful in city driving as well. I've learned to rely on it for nudging me and keeping me in the lane and take over steering for the slight curves, and I don't have to put as much thought into driving because of it.

I have owned both so yes I agree that resale of Oshan is less as well as bad in comparison with Haval.
Regarding ppf sheet, I don't think that Oshan paint or Haval one is so useless that it will peel off with ppf but yes I noticed sun marks and lil colour fade issue when I parked Oshan continuously under sunlight for several daya while observed squirrel water marks when left water without drying off from body of Haval so I partially agree that paint quality of both are not as par

I have heard good things so far, most of the owners I know are happy with their purchase, I randomly asked an owner of Oshan when I booked (btw it's readily available in some colors), he came for periodic maintanance and using oshan for past 2 years with 40k on ODO, according to him he is quite happy with the purchase, and car is so far reliable on highway and within city, only issue he is facing is related to parts, which sometimes takes time to arrive from Khi

may be it's usefull for you on well paved and marked roads, , but for most of us mostly travel on different kind of roads and areas not very useful, and what I have experienced is, it's usally a hit or miss overall
khair I drove my friend and cousin's car and both turned this feature off.

I'd like to add that the car does not recognise that many roads due to a lack of markings. Whilst majority of my commute is on Lahore's ring road and it works flawlessly there; I have maybe one small stretch of a bridge where the lane keep assist turns on.

I don't have the need to turn it off but in most cases it just doesn't do anything. Not saying this is an issue from the cars but rather the infrastructure. If I was in the Johar Town/Lake City area I could imagine these things working much better

Yes, I get that lane markings might not be there in several parts of the city on smaller roads and streets but most main roads have them. I primarily drive around DHA and Gulberg and most streets within DHA don't have lane markings, but it's not really a problem because if there aren't any lane markings, then the system just doesn't do anything.

There's really no harm in leaving it on all of the time. In fact, I never turned it off in my previous car as well so I'm just very used to it being on and available.

Edit: I just remembered one situation where it can be somewhat problematic after already posting - if there are lane markings on the road and the lane width is too narrow. You then effectively have very little room to maneuver in the lane and LCA/LKA would complain more often when you drift outside.

Typically lanes are adequate width, but some newly reconstructed roads seem to have been forcefully converted to 4-lane bidirectional when they're not wide enough to properly accommodate a mid-size or larger SUV and it's very annoying.

My cousin had this issue and he decided to turn it off regularly afterwards
one thing I agree after getting my oshan is, the interior of Haval is quite beautiful no doubt about that.

The couple of people I know in my circle who complained about this all had the sensitivity set to max. At that point the car would actively force you back into the lane, so instead they just turned it off.

From my point of view, the proper setup for our roads is to keep Lane Keep Assist and Lane Centering Assist ON, but turn the Sensitivity down to Low.

With this setup, if you don't do anything then the car would bring you back into the lane. But if you just slightly nudge or hold your steering line, it would immediately let you take over and stop forcing you. So the system basically tries to work with you, not against you.

And as a bonus, you'll also develop the good habit of always signaling before changing lanes. And you don't need a full signal for that as well, you can just do a gentle flick of the left stalk and it would signal 3 times and turn off. You're free to change lanes in that window.

Yes please! It's infuriating how few people indicate here
