Social media is an amazing platform where top brands are always neck-to-neck giving their rivals a hard time to get ahead. Recently, we saw a surprising move pulled by FAW Apollo Motors, a Facebook page.


Apollo Motors is the company which deals in selling vehicles by FAW, a Chinese automotive brand. The Facebook page posted a picture of the Suzuki Wagon R and FAW V2 and did a comparison of both, claiming the V2 was better!

Syed Ahsan Hussain Zaidi shared this image on Khalid Alvi Facebook page, a famous page where media and marketing are openly discussed. The active members of the forum gave their two-cent on this marketing stunt.

However, before we get down to a final conclusion, here’s a breakdown of the cars to help you have a better understanding.

Presentation of the post is really bad and makes it difficult to compare the two cars.

Chinese car sound much better at least on the paper especially with more modern engine due to the electronic fuel injection system, larger capacity and more valves for a smoother power. But since I didn't drive any of them, I can't comment on their performance and quality.

 

[Kompromat]

Suzuki is rubbish.

 

[slapshot]

Suzuki is rubbish.

The question is what to do against this mafia. Its unfortunate to see only one option under 1 million. Not sure why FAW is not going after mehrban. Anything around 8 LAK with better specs may change the dynamics. Suzuki is looting this nation with outrageous prices for their junk.

 

[Acknowledge]

Suzuki is rubbish.

No, they're pretty good. Infact they are bringing new technologies at prices lower than competitors, one of the reasons they are market leaders across South Asia.

Not in Pakistan. That's why they hate them most.

On the contrary Suzuki owns the car market in India. With new models.

Dunno then. They're really putting automatic gear boxes/AMG's within reach of the common man with cars as economical as celerio(4 lakhs) and all having them.
They're now even planning to put AMG's in alto!

I think by 2020, 25% of cars sold each year will be automatic. Thanks to Suzuki and Hyundai.

I don't like Auto Transmission.

Celerio is a good car. With good looks and a nice price. But I don't think if it's available in Pakistan.

Suzuki can't import the cars (in Pakistan). The taxes are so high. So, they have a basic factory which manufacture small cars. Although I'm not sure about it, may be ask @Zibago about the Suzuki manufacturing stuffs.

Pak suzuki deserves every bit of humiliation and insults they really do f them.

FAW V-2's built quality is not comparable with Wagon-R

Celerio is Cultus 2017 in Pakistan.

Still Pak Suzuki sells the most Cars in Pakistan due to more brands available...seems like changing in coming years and with the phasing out of dreadful Mehran....


Today we take a look at the most sold cars in Pakistan since the start of the current fiscal year (July 2016).



1. Toyota Corolla

Just like the year before, Toyota Corolla takes the crown as the most popular car in Pakistan. During the past nine months, 40,694 units have been sold. Anticipating the demand, Toyota has produced 40,774 units in the same period.

The current Corolla is available in several variants like Xli, GLi, Altis and Altis Grande. All come with different features and the variants’ prices differ by up to 8 lacs. The basic model of the Toyota Corolla starts at Rs. PKR 1,659,000 and goes all the way up to PKR 2,389,000 for the premium model.

Corolla is not Cheap. It's not even comparable to WaginR.

There should be Toyota Etios Liva

Suzuki is milking people in Pakistan so they only bring new model when they feel they will lose market share to someone else or GoP push them to bring new tech.

I don't think it's because Suzuki hates Pakistan. Rather the taxes are too high for imported cars.

Not high now because market is full of imported cars and people are tilting towards them due to quality and features they offer.
