Suzuki APV is Considered one of the goods, most Reliable, and most Comfortable vehicles by the company in Pakistan. This vehicle is in production since 2004 worldwide but for Pakistan, it was introduced in 2007 and still selling like a hot car in the multipurpose vehicles category.

Fact; when it was first introduced in Pakistan after a year of introduction Suzuki APV price was increased to half of the full price and people those were already purchased the vehicles were in profit and could sell the same vehicle at a profitable price. The main reason for this price jump was the company wasn’t expecting this to be successful in Pakistan which was why in the beginning the price was set lower to capture the market.

This is not much famous but despite it, Suzuki APV is selling well not in Pakistan only but in other countries as well including Australia, Malaysia, and Chile. From 2007 to onward there haven’t been any major changes to its overall design but some small modifications to the exterior mainly to the bumper and headlights.

Interior Design & Features:

Suzuki APV is comfortable from the inside with enough head and legroom even up to 3rd-row seats. Build quality is not much appreciated especially for the Pakistani version having plastic all around and missing some important features as well like an infotainment screen. But the overall interior design makes it look more luxurious and Beautiful; the seats are covered with high-quality vinyl fabric. Front seats are power recline and height-adjustable (higher trim only), Rear air vents are built into the roof and give a nice air throw that reaches the 3rd row as well and makes long journeys more comfortable on hot days. APV comes with a competitive cargo space of 6.9 cubic feet which is enough to carry a lot of luggage and with folding rear seats, it becomes an even more Multi-Purpose Vehicle.
