Alsvin Lumiere vs.Black Edition | Aesthetic Comparison

Recently, Changan introduced the Black Edition of the Alsvin. The changes are purely aesthetic with no mechanical or performance enhancements. Despite this, Changan is asking for an additional 25,000 PKR compared to the Lumiere edition.

Exterior Changes

The only noticeable exterior changes in the Alsvin Black Edition are the side view mirrors and alloy wheels, which now come in black. The rest of the car's body remains unchanged. These subtle modifications are meant to give the vehicle a more cohesive and sophisticated look.

Interior Overhaul

The interior of the Alsvin Black Edition is where the most significant changes have occurred. Unlike the previous edition, which featured a black interior with beige accents on the seats, roof, and door panels, the new edition is entirely black. This all-black theme might appeal to some customers, while others might prefer the contrasting beige touches of the earlier model.

Changing Trends

Interestingly, before 2012, a beige interior was considered premium, while a black interior was seen as the base variant. Today, the trend has reversed, with black interiors now regarded as more premium and beige used in base models. This shift in consumer preferences reflects evolving tastes and market demands.

A detailed comparison between the Alsvin Lumiere and Black Edition:

Comparison	Changan Alsvin Lumiere DCT	Changan Alsvin Lumiere DCT Black Edition
Side View Mirrors	Body Colored Mirrors	Piano Black Shining Mirrors
Alloy Wheels	Grey Alloy Wheels	Piano Black Shining Alloys
Seats	Beige Colored	Matte Black Seats
Roof	Beige	Matte Black
Interior	A Combination of Black and Beige	All Matte Black
Pricing	4,549,000 PKR	4,574,000 PKR

Justifying the Price

The 25,000 PKR price difference between the Lumiere and Black Edition seems justified given the aesthetic changes. Attempting to achieve a similar look through aftermarket modifications would likely cost more than 25,000 PKR, making the Black Edition a cost-effective option for those interested in these stylistic upgrades. However, it's important to note that there are no performance enhancements; the engine, gearbox, and tires remain unchanged. For 25,000 PKR, buyers receive a sleek new look without expecting performance improvements.
