Despite the upgrades, the company noted no price increase compared to prior model for the Black Series launch. Pakwheels+1
The all-black premium interior and styling upgrades give it a sportier, more upscale appearance compared to the standard Alsvin.
The significant infotainment upgrade (10.4″ capacitive screen) is a strong value add in this segment.
The fact that pricing remains competitive while adding upgrades makes it appealing to buyers wanting extra features without heavy premium.
Local adaptation (features like DCT, modern connectivity) helping it stay relevant in the Pakistani compact sedan segment.
While many features are improved, underlying mechanicals (engine sizes, transmissions) are largely carried over from previous model.
Depending on variant, not all features may be standard (e.g., sunroof, 10.4″ screen may be limited to higher trims).
As always when buying: check actual variant spec in dealership, as sometimes features vary by region/import.
Fuel economy: though not officially detailed for this Black Series, prior data suggests city/hwy figures that buyers should check realistically.
