Alsvin Maintenance

The car has a wheelbase of 2535 mm and a ground clearance of 151 mm, which provides it stability and reduces body roll.

Changan Alsvin Competitors

Changan Alsvin competes with Toyota Yaris, Honda City, and KIA Picanto in the Pakistani market.

Toyota Yaris is a strong competitor for Alsvin 2023 as it lies in the same price range and has similar features. Toyota also has a loyal consumer base in Pakistan which makes it difficult for new cars to sell easily. Alsvin beats Yaris when it comes to modern features such as steering switches, climate control, rear camera, rear speakers, etc., but it lacks traction control which is available in Yaris. Yaris also has a better build quality which adds to its value.

Honda City is another strong competitor of Alsvin with well-established goodwill in the market. The City comes with similar features and beats Alsvin when it comes to fuel economy.
