Al-Haj FAW has publicly unveiled the local assembled 1300cc V2\u00a0hatchback\u00a0earlier \u00a0weeks ago.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u00a0hatchback, but will also boost up the sales of FAW V2.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The by now\u00a0available\u00a0options in our market\u00a0never 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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The V2 with its price and features offered can be compare to not one, but three Suzuki hatchbacks\u00a0obtainable\u00a0in the market. Let us see how the FAW V2 competes alongside the Pak Suzuki contributions and see if it\u2019s really worth spending the money for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
V2\u2019s instant judgment is made with Suzuki Swift since before V2, Swift was the only 1300cc\u00a0hatchback\u00a0obtainable\u00a0in 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/autodeals.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FAW-V2-Like-300x182.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Both the cars are equivalent in terms of specs &\u00a0available\u00a0features, in omission of a couple of differences. Despite the fact that the Swift comes with an automatic transmission choice and navigation, it misses out\u00a0driver\u00a0& passenger airbags that comes as standard with the V2. However there is no automatic transmission\u00a0available\u00a0with FAW V2 which is a big downside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The V2 wins big in terms of price dissimilarity between the two. The Swift is priced at PKR 13.75 lac for manual and PKR 15.11 lac for the automatic variant; alternatively FAW V2 costs just PKR 10.7 lac which is a enormous difference.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/autodeals.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/v2wagonr-300x79.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The V2 sits among the two\u00a0available\u00a0Wagon R variants so the contrast based on price is well justified. Wagon R VXR costs PKR 10.54 lac while the VXL cost PKR 10.94 lac.<\/p>\n
Though when it comes to matching up to the specs and\u00a0available\u00a0features, FAW V2 evidently wins. Still the completely loaded Wagon R VXL misses out\u00a0driver\/ passenger airbags, ABS, alloy wheels, steering adjustment and rear power windows.<\/p>\n
In terms of visual appearance if you think V2 looks strange, the Wagon R isn\u2019t any prettier either. Nevertheless the latter presents a comparatively better looking interior and color combo than the Chinese rival. The Wagon R doesn\u2019t actually feel that bad once you step within, On the other hand in case of V2 the doubtful quality of interior & sound insulations are said to have been enhanced in the local assembled version.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
While both the vehicles fall in comparable price range, the V2 comes with a bigger 1.3 literengine compared to 1.0 liter of Wagon R, and presents a lot additional than the fully loaded Wagon R VXL variant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pak Suzuki has reinstated the old MK-II Cultus with the Celerio\u00a0hatchback\u00a0earlier this year. Internationally the Celerio is considered as a substitution of 1.0 liter Alto, in view of the fact that newer Alto generations come with a 660cc engine. Pak Suzuki nevertheless, wanted to continue with the success of Cultus nameplate hence the Celerio was rebadged as Cultus.<\/p>\n
It holds the same engine found in the Wagon R and fascinatingly in many markets counting India, the Celerio is yet cheaper than the Wagon R. But Pak Suzuki has priced the VXR version at PKR 12.55 lac whereas the VXL version at PKR 13.9 lac.<\/p>\n
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/autodeals.pk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fawv2-black-300x214.jpg\")
The V2 which is based on Toyota\u2019s New Basic Car (NBC) platform, the similar platform on which the 1st\u00a0generation Vitz was based, offer approximately the whole thing that the top-of-the-line Cultus (Celerio) VXL offers but bearing in mind the price of V2, which is PKR 10.7 lac only, it seems a better value for money.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The V2 looks a good buy evaluated to the 3 Suzuki rivals; on the other hand there are definite aspects that have been keeping the buyers away.<\/p>\n
Lack of trims<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The V2 comes in a single trim, even though the car is well equipped and presents everything you can ask for. Still, there is a reason why car manufacturers around the world offer diverse trim levels with each car in order to cater the diversified consumer preferences. Accessibility in a just a single trim hold back the sales of V2.<\/p>\n Lack of transmission options<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n There are a large number of buyers who prefer driving automatic cars, the V2 comes with manual transmission only which is measured as a disadvantage.<\/p>\n Now that the V2 is assembled locally, it will give a lot of self-reliance to those who were earlier hesitant to go for it.<\/p>\n With a price tag of PKR 10.7 lac (ex factory), the V2 is a very reasonably priced car particularly when you compare it with other\u00a0available\u00a0alternative in the market.<\/p>\n The local assembled FAW V2 is a ray of hope for consumers to get better equipped vehicle in a reasonable amount of money.<\/p>\n Given a change to buy, will you go for FAW V2?
