Every car looks good after it is repaired!
These kind of wagon R's are imported from Japan and we people buy them saying its a great car with deployed airbags ?

I got so excited about this car as I had assumed that it would have abs, airbags, auto tranny, flat bed rear seats, etc but instead they offer a face lifted alto at a ridiculously high price. Manual rear windows? Who does that? This used to be done in budget super minis like for ka /small Fiats in the 90's...Now all they had to do was pass a cable through the rear passenger door and attach a switch.
I was about to sell my 660cc JDM and buy this the following week.. But after looking at the pictures and the specs and the high price, I've been shocked.
Paksuzuki shame on you! Instead of learning from the swift and offering a 'complete ' hatchback, you've decided to follow the Mehran principle- offer less for a higher price.

The price is not high for this type of car , considering you're getting a brand new 2014 model which is 0 meter and non accidental!

Cultus and Mehran will not leave market any time soon, they sell like hot cakes.

I think a lot will depend on trade with India. If it does not materialize, paksuzuki will run out of imported part options and will have to kill these cars. WagonR wasn't launched because Alto was outdated but because its engine import became an issue. We still do not make engine, transmission, etc of any car locally so it depends on import.

Why do we think that any new car which is introduced in the market should be priced more than other cars in the same segment?

Because new cars require significant investment in terms of styling, design, etc which the company has to earn back. Not to forget the additional cost in terms of plant re-adjustment, new molds and dyes both at the assembly plant and from suppliers. It all add to the cost of the car. So in similar cars, the newer model will cost more if all other things (capacity, technology, etc) remain equal.

They only way a newer car will cost less if newer technology and fabrication costs less, or if the company cuts on profit margin due to competition---which in Pakistan does not exist.

Regarding WagonR, like most people here I too do not like the looks. May be a car similar in size to Cultus would have been a better option. If Suzuki doesn't one (and aren't willing to design one), maybe a collaboration/partnership with someone else would have been better.

WagonR is ugly.

This type of car? What does this car have to offer. A zero meter rickshaw costs less and has the same specs. No abs, no airbags and I'm sure the suspension won't be anything special either. This 'type' of car deserves a price tag of 7 lacs.
And yet they somehow still manage to offer three models ( they still believe in the 70's principle of considering a basic model to not have color coded door mirrors /bumpers /wheel caps .. A vxl should atleast have the basic features a JDM wagon r has.
Sorry I'm a bit pissed at this... I was really looking forward to a pkdm with all the basic safety features found in jdms.

7 lacs ? If it was a Honda then ?
The duty on a 2014 model is too much and considering features , duty , freight , condition , brand newness , 1000cc engine , its a fair price!

Good addition to the house of suzuki in pakistan, price is 50,000 more than expected however, is likely to sell well...

• ABS/airbags,etc etc, bhai meray ap kya Pakistan main nahi thay jab ap ye sab soch rahay thay ??
• I have seen some Japanese and other imported vehicles having the same ( only front power windows) not a big deal !
• Achha to phir apki Toyota THE GREAT XLI per kya bhejtay hain ap ?? jinki front windows tak power nahi at what price tag, you know !

To all Suzuki Haters : Sir g, jab tak apkay ladlay Honda/Toyota competition nahi dain ***, you don't have any choice and appreciated AT LEAST what one of the company is offering , a wide range of cars, from small to sedans ......

Imagine, Suzuki bhi na ho to kitnay hi log brand new cars ko taras jayen apkay mulk main, sir kaisi baatain kartay hain aap .....

and for the ones who whining about price tag ....... 200% duty charge karti hai apki beloved government on a local assembled car (as i have heard, correct me if i am wrong though) so ap ye 200% hata lain, phir dekh lain price kahan jati hai ......

by the way Saudi Arabia main bhi new Corolla 60-70 hazar riyal ki hai (ab isko rupee se khud hi multiply ker lain)....... and duty on cars here is only 5% (as per google) ....

kamal kartay ho yar, jazbati kar dia ...... Suzuki ye suzuki wo , har banda bura keh deta hai, ye nahi dekh rahay kay bhai har koi GLI, CITY CIVIC afford nahi kar sakta ..... aor Honda/Toyota konsi aisi sasti gari ejaad kar chuka hai Pakistan main jiski ballay ballay ho rahi hai har taraf................ ek agar kuchh sasta bana hi raha hai to usko hi criticize kiye jao, bajaye thora appreciate kernay kay

sorry doston thora jazbati ho gaya tha

I beg to differ on both the counts....

1. It is not a good addition to the Suzuki family, as it is a low spec car...

2. The second hand 660s will eat this car alive..
