A.O.A Pak wheelers,
plz suggest which car is better Premio(2011-2013) or Grande 2018-2019 considering budget is same plus following Points to be considered:
1. Engine + Suspensions ( repair costs, availability of parts. Prices of parts etc )
2. Resale Value
3. Shape ,features, Shashka etc
4. Driving Pleasure
5.whats New and better in Valmatic engine etc
6. Build Quality

1. Engine + Suspensions ( repair costs, availability of parts. Prices of parts etc )

Overall it's better in Premio but repair cost, availability of parts, and their prices is better for Grande.

2 . Resale Value

Grande

3 . Shape ,features, Shashka etc
4. Driving Pleasure

Both are almost similar in these terms.

1. Build Quality

Premio being the JDM is better in terms of build quality than Grande being the PKDM.

It all depends on your personal choice and preference, whether you need a newer model or an overall better car with a compromise on the repair and maintenance cost and other factors.

Hope it helps.

1 parts are same but body parts for corolla will be available new whereas for premio used parts will be available for body
Resale value of local car is better
Shape wise both are beautiful but grande has sunroof
Driving pleasure of local car can't be compared with JDM
Engine code is same i.e:2zr-fe 1.8(don't know about valmatic)
Build quality wise jdm is better.
In the end if u want to buyer newer car with availability of new parts and support from dealership then Local corolla is the way to go.
On the other hand if u don't care about resale that much.however also has good resale but not good as local car and want best build quality and drive then go for Premio but keep in mind that when cvt gearbox gets older it becomes problematic if not taken care of.I hope I guided u well.If u want to ask any more questions u r welcome.

This is a tough call specially if the price point is same and you know a thing or two about cars. If I were you, I would have bought the Premio considering low miles on the odometer and overall condition. Fuel economy is better in case of Premio too. Build quality and driving pleasure again.....goes to Premio. But the real question is: How long are you going to own the car?

IMHO, the driving pleasure n comfort is way better in premio as compared to latest grande...its sooooo smoooth...

this factor alone will tilt my decision in favor of premio...
