Upon first glance, it can be confused for a Hyundai Accent owing to the taillights that are quite similar in design. However, upon a closer look, you can easily spot a few of the key differences such as a different rear bumper design, side profile and the overall silhouette of the car. Plus, the Alsvin is also much more subdued in its design which the Accent is not.

It is being speculated that the Changan Alsvin aims to target the subcompact sedan segment by competing against the likes of Honda City and Toyota Yaris. It is also being reported that the company is considering launching other passenger cars including mid-size sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs and crossovers in the near future.

It’s been an awfully long time since we’ve seen an inspiring debut success story in the Pakistani Automotive industry and the Pakistani motorists are longing for a strong new option to take on the veterans of the industry. Let us hope that Changan becomes that formidable opponent in the industry with their latest offering, and give the Pakistani automotive customers a little more of a variety.
