Some Information about the Liana

[xain]

@Spectra
No sir no plan for selling Altis in the near future. But yes Pakistani Liana features look like a better value for money.But we have the absolute judge for telling this known as the TIME.

[spectra]

when kia classic was launched with same dimensions and layout it was heavily criticised, now lets see hwat goes here. so far shape has not been liked very much.

Looking at the prices of Liana, one cannot help but wonder...
Liana RXI Petrol=794,000*
Liana RXI CNG =849,000* (Rs 55K more for just CNG)
Liana LXI Sports=899,000**
Liana Auto(1600cc)=929,000** (just Rs 30K more for extra 300cc with A/T)

Is the LXi 1300cc or 1600cc??

[xain]

@Matrix.
55 K more for just CNG is completely justified.
A normal CNG Kit with Emulater and Advancer cost around 55-60 K.Add a lambda control in it the price would be around 70 easily.
What I have heard that in this case they are offering a CNG with injectors that technology is pretty expensive and not available anywhere in Pakistan. It will be a real steal in this price.
RXI and LXI both are 1300 CC
LXI offers things like ABS Brakes.(Japenese 1600cc Liana does not have ABS)
Sports one may have extra things like Alloy rims etc.

Again, injector type CNG was not very well received in Kia. BUt this is the favourite suzuki. it will sell for sure.

[xain]

@Spectra does Kia has CNG injectors.Its a news for me and coming out from your mouth it must be true.
So why are they not liked by public as per my knowledge they are much more fuel efficent and the drop in the pick which is normally around 15-20 % also reduces. Does it has anything to do with the quality of CNG provided here or what like more complicated system.

[iVTEC]

I think engine is probably M13A which is DOHC and produces:
Maximum output kW/rpm 66 / 5,750 Maximum torque Nm/rpm 116 / 4,750

Xain - impressive work, I guess you can sell any car with these kind of pictures as they actually explain the features very nicely

[ahsen_rg]

anyone know about the delivery times??

[alithegreat]

delivery time is 2-3 months

[matrix]

Well given the features and delivery times, Liana is a good buy. Wonder who will buy Honda City now?

[spectra]

@Xain
it is actualy the quality of gas that matters. Kia were the first to intriduce EFI CNG in Pakistan and they started with injector type system and later on changed for a concealed venturi cum injector.
With appropriate gas, u dont feel a difference. problem is with idling adjustment. its bad that they never offered lambda control which can solve that problem as well.

Good package, reasonable car, with Baleno off production lines, Liana 1.3 CNG would denfinitely sell like hot cake. I am tempted to sell my XLi and get a Liana, what do you guys say?

[Vajih102]

hey xain, thanks a lot for the details. tsah15 called me this morning asking and even though i was disgusted about my faliure of getting any response from any Suzuki dealer thrice yesterday, i decided to find out again and got the price list faxed. i was dreading the thought of having top type it all out. thanks a lottttttt!

[Nashit]

@autophile
i will still suggest u to stick on with yr xli

[xain]

@Vajih
You are most welcome bro.
@Alithegreat
The person at Suzuki Showroom told me that If I book my liana today or tomorrow it will be delivered to me in the month of march.But if I will be late and if the available buffer is filled it will be 3-4 months.

[xain]

@Khashraf
Most of the credit of the pictures goes to my old camera .and believe me I am not that good at selling refrigrators to Eskimo people.

[Malik1]

hey guys then wht abt BALENO..i think its production will stop..correct me if i m wrong...

[xain]

Baleno production was already stopped.

[outcast_83]

can u tell me if the Liana Auto (1600cc) is top of the line. N what more does it offer as compared to the Liana RXI or even the LXI.
And i seem to have noticed a change of interior colour in the RXI as compared to the Japanese version.
Can u confirm?
Thanx
