Hello, I am moving to Pakistan in April and currently own a Suzuki swift 2017 DLX manual. Plan is to upgrade the car as soon as I am back in Pakistan, following are the options in my mind:

Corolla Altis X 1.6

Khota gari with good fuel average, minimal maintenance cost. The only drawback I see is the new shape will be launched in 2022 and the on money is around 4.5-5 lakhs. Also it is non CVT which is not ideal.

Civic X Oriel

Cannot be taken any where as I visit north a lot.. A LOTT.. High Maintenance cost, very bad reviews about build quality, steering rack, battery issues. The only advantage I see is the brand name

Please note that my daily usage is around 100km's between RWP/ISB. What do you guys think?

You can also think about glory 580 pro Sportage alpha and MG ZS and you can also wait for Elantra

Sportage will be nice

Glory is a pretty new car for Pakistani market and there are no proper reviews available.

MG ZS, I have heard that it is underpowered.

Sportage can be a nice option but if I will prefer the FWD option which is out of my budget

too confusing

Increase ur budget a bit and go for altis 1.8 cvt. if that is not an option then corolla 1.6 is the one i would go for out of the two you have in mind

ZS is not underpowered at all I have driven it it’s not bad
If one can afford then go with fwd Sportage or another option for you can also be base model AWD proton x70 if you can wait

The corolla is outdated now and has ugly bumpers in X facelift corolla not recommended at all

Do you know the delivery time of Sportage FWD? on money is pretty high on all the new cars in Pakistan

pwuser159259702854 (Ahmad Abdullah) 2021-02-21 16:45:11 +0500 #10

Delivery being given is may or June I believe
It’s not a lot compared to other cars like Tucson and Proton
