Al-Haj FAW has publicly unveiled the local assembled 1300cc V2 hatchback earlier weeks ago.
Introduced in Pakistan back in 2014, the V2 was being imported as CBU and since then has gradually but progressively built its repute amongst the consumers. The V2 now becomes the only non-Japanese passenger car to be assembled in Pakistan.
When the car was first set up back in 2014 many assumed that it will phase out of the market in a short time, as was the case with Chevrolet, Proton, Chery and Geely in the past. On the other hand, the commencement of local production of V2 will not only provide self-confidence to plenty of buyers who were hesitant to decide on for the Chinese hatchback, but will also boost up the sales of FAW V2.
The by now available options in our market never openly compete with each other, as Honda & Toyota by no means brought anything that could challenge Suzuki, and vice versa. But the launch of local assembled V2 has set a prospect for the buyers to come to a decision among local assembled products from different manufacturers in a given budget.
The V2 with its price and features offered can be compare to not one, but three Suzuki hatchbacks obtainable in the market. Let us see how the FAW V2 competes alongside the Pak Suzuki contributions and see if it’s really worth spending the money for.

FAW V2 vs Suzuki Swift
V2’s instant judgment is made with Suzuki Swift since before V2, Swift was the only 1300cc hatchback obtainable in our market. Even though growth of both these cars dates back to the previous decade, as per the visual characteristic the Swift has an edge over V2 both in provisos of exterior and interior design.
Even though the V2 has a good road company but the design is a puzzling mix together of curves and sharp corners, and no doubt since the car was developed when Chinese had just started to come up with their own designs. Conversely the Swift was an award-winning product of its time and turned many a heads in approximately every market where it was initiated during the previous decade.
