Comfort 1.37 MT is the price-led choice for manual drivers. Lumiere is the meaningful upgrade for buyers who want the 1.5-litre engine, DCT, cruise control and sunroof; Black Edition should be chosen for its appearance only after confirming that its PKR 100,000 premium adds no essential mechanical advantage.
Three displayed prices, with conditions
Changan Pakistan currently displays PKR 4,189,000 for Comfort 1.37L MT, PKR 4,899,000 for Lumiere and PKR 4,999,000 for Black Edition. The page says freight and CVT are included, while its terms also state that prices can change and the amount ruling at delivery may apply. [1]
Obtain a dated provisional booking order naming the exact grade, engine, transmission, exterior and interior colour. Ask for withholding tax, registration, insurance, delivery timing, cancellation charges and any dealer accessories as separate lines.
| Variant | Engine / transmission | Displayed price | Step up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort 1.37L MT | 1.37L · 5MT | PKR 4,189,000 | — |
| Lumiere | 1.5L · 5-speed DCT | PKR 4,899,000 | PKR 710,000 |
| Black Edition | 1.5L · 5-speed DCT | PKR 4,999,000 | PKR 100,000 |
The first price jump changes the powertrain
Changan specifies 99 hp and 135 Nm for the 1.37-litre engine, and 105 hp and 145 Nm for the 1.5-litre engine. The manual uses a five-speed gearbox, while the automatic versions use a five-speed dual-clutch transmission with manual selection. [1]
A DCT can respond differently from a torque-converter automatic in crawling traffic and on inclines. Test parking, hill starts, low-speed shifts and sudden acceleration with the air-conditioner running. Do not assume the automatic is preferable until its behaviour suits every regular driver.
Lumiere is primarily an equipment decision
The official comparison associates the upper grade with an anti-pinch electric sunroof, cruise control and additional convenience equipment. Changan also lists dual front airbags, ABS, ISOFIX and an immobiliser within the Alsvin safety presentation. [1]
Confirm features on the exact delivered grade. The page's specification table also contains older configuration references, so the invoice and a current dealer-generated equipment sheet should resolve any difference between historical specifications and vehicles presently available.
Black Edition needs an appearance-first buyer
The Black Edition sits PKR 100,000 above Lumiere in the current display. Its case is visual distinction, not a different engine or transmission. That can be worthwhile to an owner who values the finish, but it should not be described as a performance upgrade.
Inspect the actual colour combination, wheel finish, trim durability and replacement-part availability in daylight. If the appearance does not materially improve the ownership experience, the standard Lumiere preserves the same core 1.5-litre DCT proposition.
The practical shortlist
Choose Comfort MT to minimise purchase cost and retain a simple manual drivetrain. Choose Lumiere when automatic convenience and its equipment package justify PKR 710,000. Choose Black Edition only when the cosmetic treatment is worth a further PKR 100,000 to you.
Before delivery, match chassis and engine numbers to the invoice, check production and tyre dates, operate every safety and convenience feature, and document paint or trim defects. A low advertised price is useful only when the exact vehicle, payment and delivery obligations are clear.
