It looks simple on paper but if you check by clicking on road prices feature on Pakwheels's new car prices option page. You will figure out that on road cost for 1.6 GLi Altis in lahore is approx 20,96,180/- (non Filer) plus add yearly tokens to it which are more due to being 1.6 engine. Where as the on road cost of 1.3 GLI Mt is 18,48,000/- (Non filer). These two model price difference goes to 2,50,000 approx.
Now tell me why would anyone bother paying this 2,50,000 Rs extra with more yearly token costs just for the bigger 1.6 engine when they can easily reach from point A to Point B in the city of their residence without feeling any "UNDER POWER" issue having 5 people on board.
Corolla was a small family sedan since last 3-4 decades and used to come in 1200 cc and it was still very popular in those times. Now if start pointing out the not so wonderful lcd entertainment or alloy rims coming in that extra 2.5 lacs maybe those buyers are not into those bundled goodies or the everywhere seen super white color and think they can buy accessories from the market as they desire for their rides.
