Confirmed this information mainly from wikipedia, actually FAW V2 is a variant of First Generation Toyota Vitz.
V2 is powered by engine based on Toyota SZ series, so FAW V2 is powered by similar engine (Toyota's NZ- series) that comes in XLI and GLI in Pakistan for last 10 years.

Can find exactly the origin of FAW engines.
Toyota overseas production
Good research
wrong .faw is partner with Toyota in china as you cannot do business in China directly you need local partner
Yes but the engine is not similar to the one avalible in local Corolla 1300cc, The engine is 1328CC seen in 1300cc Vitz and IST. Plus V2 has a rear independent suspension, Vitz 1st gen has the danda suspension.
Yes, agreed corolla comes with NZ series engine in Pakistan. While V2 is based on SZ series. So the engines are different.
I have seen toyota SZ series 1.3 engines in junkyard swappable for vitz.
Due to cost factor 1.3 vitz is rarely imported in Pakistan. Which is costly and comes globally in independent suspension.
As an example 2010 gli came in danda suspension and 2010 altis have independent suspension. Although both are of same shape.
SZ series 1.3 L Engine is not 1300cc, it is 1328CC. Which has more tax and more duty when imported. All Vitzes and Corollas have same suspension system. Altis and Gli or 1300cc or 1000cc Vitz doesnt has different suspensions.
Sorry no offence but I can bet on 2010 GLI and Altis have different rear suspension in Pakistan.
How do u rate FAW V2's suspension and ride quality bros.
Excellent Using FAW V2 for last 4 moonths, No issue in khadas and no issue on Motorways. Comfortable Car good AC, good Mileage, good Road Grip.
