Agree with the other guy, the engine is going to be butt sluggish, definitely for a body size that big

When apv came it was marketed and actually got some fine sales in start aswell, still it manages a respectable number of commercial sales for Suzuki. In comparison ertiga is a strictly family mpv hence the only possible commercial sales are taxi sales while taxi business is literally nothing in Pak and now with Uber/careem small cars it's even more difficult to establish that so I guess it makes little sense here. In comparison mpv's like ertiga, mobility, xlander, avanza, innova rule in most of south east Asian countries like Indonesia and Thailand as well as in India. Our market is a bit different and mpv's are generally not liked that's why launching mpv's that look like crossovers appears to be the best strategy rn.

With BRV entry rush and ertiga seems very good options. If such cars introduced. We definitely see careem seven seater options very soon.

Even grab and careem dubai / Saudiarab have these 7 seater car options.

APV hasnt changed only a facelift since it came out in 2006. In 2006 market dynamics were very different it was hard to sell Corolla civic automatic transmissions over manual gli.

Today it's impossible to sell a manual altis or a civic. People are liking 7 seaters more then ever before. The market is opening up. But I dont get it why arnt the local assemblers targeting the small automatic hatch market. Maybe low profits.

[usman19854]

Really need small auto hatchbacks, it's a pain in add to drive manuals in today's traffic. We atleast had that cuore before whatever it was like, now after all these years we have got lolipop of Cultus AGS at 16 lac rupees ---,---.

[hamzaaliarshad]

Good to know that its launched again.
But not with 4x4.
BHP is also lesser than BRV, hopefully they have put, more powerful transmission in it.

Thank God a rear wheel is coming, it will have more durable suspension as compared to BRV.
Good for Pakistani roads.

koi meri civic khreed lay , ta k mein Avanza Hi-roof (RUSH) book karwa lu) ;p

[Dawar]

3 trims..
1.Rush with manual transmission
2. Rush Auto
3. Rush Auto Awd/4x4

Auto will be launched first then manual and Awd might next year or all together on 1st September.

Prices not confirmed... but hints suggests
Manual basic variant Rs. 2249.
Auto variant Dual Ac Rs. 2499.
Awd /4x4 top 17 alloys variant 2699.

[chinyoti]

Jo next year aegi how can u predict the prices. Prices of cars changed four times this year alone in fact in just 8 months

[pwuser152240510516]

I am thinking of getting a seven seater. So far the only choice for me was BR-V. If Rush is priced below 2.6 million I may go for it but anything above it is incomprehensible as in many countries the price difference between Rush and BR-V is minimal.

Whatever Toyota says both RUSH and BR-V low end MPV/SUV market and has a number of shortcomings compared to HRV/Vezel.

[hassaanghaffar1]

For People talking about Quality of Honda BRV...
We own Brv... Its extremely low quality product.. There came fault in ac Compressor and it has been more than month around, Honda couldn't arrange the compressor faulty part... They don't have even parts availability!!! Think so many times before buying Honda Pakistani Cars!!!

[ahmadmuj1988]

Does it have airbags?

[pwuser152240510516]

At least three of my colleagues have BR-V and all them are very satisfied with their purchase. I guess the issue is Quality Control rather than Quality.

[vtecyo]

I highly doubt this pricing. No one will buy Civic or Grande then.

[Baleno1300]

My brother owns a BRV and he bought it from man who sold it only after 3 weeks with a loss of 1.5 Lakh.
Cheap vehicle with no comfort and quality. Planning to change.

[favadkhan]

Starting price in KSA is 62 k SAR which is lower than the XLI lets see if they managed to launch under 2.5 Mil it will be a big hit as i have seen it and It looks reasonably better than BRV

[automakerz]

more then 3 million or nearer to it.

My guess.

[biloo]

Brv is not sluggish at all. It puts our beloved altises and citys to shame on linear straight line acceleration. The 1.5 liter engine coupled with CVT transmission is probably the only thing which should be given its due credit. And, that would be superior to what Toyota would be offering in their Rush.
Toyota Rush seems to be bigger then brv with more bold and aggressive looks . Whatever the international markets offer , this vehicle if priced properly would definitely be a hit amongst the masses.

thats' comparing a sedan with a MPV ? a PW member since 2004 doing it is very strange

[mysweetchoice]

Price should range between PKR 2.8 - 3.0 million max to make this model acceptable in the market

[zarak_kh91]

Yes 2.5 million Max..... Otherwise it will be totally fail.....

[drmoh8683]

I have read on express tribune that the price is going to be somewhere between 3.8m to 4.8m... its better they do not launch this vehicle....
