About the Changan Alsvin
The Changan Alsvin is a compact sedan available in South Africa in two variants — the 1.4 CS with manual transmission and the 1.5 CE with automatic — powered by naturally aspirated petrol engines and positioned as one of the most affordable new sedans on the market, competing with the Suzuki Dzire and Hyundai Grand i10 sedan at the entry level of the passenger car segment. It offers a conventional three-box sedan body with a proper boot — a practical format that appeals to buyers who prefer a separate luggage compartment over a hatchback — at a price point that undercuts most established competitors in the segment. The Alsvin suits value-focused buyers who want a new sedan with a full manufacturer warranty at an accessible price and are open to a Chinese brand with an improving local service footprint.
