kia sportage. Dont buy altis 1.6.

Kia Sportage is best.

Kia Carnival is 2nd best.

Thanks for your reply what about DFSK Gloria 1.8 cvt ? it is 1 million less than Sportage

[anon35615524]

In my opinion, following should be your considerations (priority wise):

1. Kia Grand Carnival (if big family, large group of people, and funds are not an issue)
2. Kia Sportage
3. Toyota Corolla Altis Grande 1.8 (Not 1.6)

DFSK Glory should be your last consideration.

Why not considering vezel? It's a v decent option at the same time fuel economical aswell

[anon35615524]

When it comes to Bezel Vs Sportage, then Sportage is the best choice in current times.

[altisdualvvti]

Not really except it's brand-new.

In vezel you are getting 4 more airbags plus all the sensing features so more safety plus it's more fuel economical and more powerful then Sportage yes that engine and electric motor produces alot more power then the 2L Sportage and don't forget better bulid quality then Sportage and overall a better brand.

Six Airbags with ride quality of a donkey cart?

@OP get a FWD Sportage. If you can spend some money stay away from Local Corolla. Absolute shit quality. Sheer waste of this much money.

KIa Sportage

Kia sportage is the best option you got in this budget. Damn high quality and its based upon suv chassis instead of a sedan chassis plus you'll get discount from dealership when you'll ask them and 4 years/100000kms warranty as well.

[haseeb.basharat]

Vezel is based upon same chassis as that of a fit which is a hatchback and a freaking phatta like suspension.

[haseeb.basharat]

It's a 1.5 turbo engine.
I'm worried about its quality/durability and its resale value in future. Nobody is purchasing this car. However, sportage is selling like hotcakes.

[altisdualvvti]

Looks like u have driven vezel which was lemon. Yes suspension are stiff but it's kind of comfortable in return you are getting much better stability

thanks for replies, actually carnival reg and tax is arround 7 lac .. sportage is good..

but what i noticed that dfsk glory 580 is quite popular in indonesia ..

btw: why people avoid local makers ? even toyota ?
sorry in advance as i am an expat and this is first car i am buying in pakistan..

[mudassar.latif.94]

People avoid local makers? No one avoids local makers here. Pakistanis have a craze for their local makers.

carnival if registered as van under commercial number the regn cost will be 50% of pvt regn

[altisdualvvti]

Glory was v good comfort wise. Rest it's not worth the price

[haseeb.basharat]

Just this: stay away from vezel and glory when you're spending this much money.

[javaclinic]

thanks for advice brother.. it is indeed good advice.. thanks a lot.. but what options one have for 7 seaters than ?

[altisdualvvti]

A sedan and crossover can't be compared. Both have their pros and cons over each other. I would suggest the thread starter to drive both cars to make his decision easy
