Right after I took the car from dealer to Home:
The Steering starts shaking when car goes above 50.
The CD Player is not working.
Sounds in right front tyre when I turn right while reversing.
The Car cabin digital thermometer is not working.
The Pakistani build LIANA is crap and if you plan to buy one, be ready to take to dealers for at least a month before the car is running properly.
I think the car is sold for testing in live environment to the customer and is not tested for quality wise by the manufacturers.
I think it is a great car for the money spent. The elegant look, the spacious interior, the luxuries, the safety features and the smooth engine-well integrated with CNG is a blended package of the MOST in the LEAST price. I would say it is a commendable product of Suzuki Pakistan. Keep it up Suzuki Motors.
I have bought Liana and am quite happy with the performance and result as this seemed the likely choice since it is both economical and reliable with spare parts easily available throughout Pakistan. It is spacious and has a beautiful interior. As for the remark of "CD not playing" it depends on which model you preferred as factory fitted deck plays only Audio CD format where as any other company deck can play other format CD such as mp3 etc.
Suzuki Liana Rxi is the best car ever.
No man!!! Liana is a really good car, but I agree with you that Suzuki is still a child in the field of making luxury cars, so they sometimes make silly mistakes like deliver the cars without inspecting properly and using 3rd class quality materials etc. However, when talking of the Liana, I would like to say that it gives the best value for your money among the recent cars.
I think the writer of this review is paid some cash by Honda or another competitor of Suzuki or he has some personal conflicts with Suzuki that's why he is saying stuff like this about LIANA :d.
LIANA is the best car ever made by Suzuki Pakistan. And every one is amazed that sale of liana is very low, the reason is that price is too high.. as you look at baleno,, its price is abt 7.5lac for CNG, but liana's price is 8.5lac which is almost equal to the price of Corolla xli, so most ppl are going for xli and city.. if suzuki drops its price I hope this car do much better business.
I think the Suzuki Liana has good specifications for a low price.. Cars like the Corolla are more luxurious; the cabin is wider than a Liana.. Toyota is more costly than a Liana, but it is of the best quality material, and the company name or the label is considered to be a high standard.. similarly Honda gives a pretty look to its cars, as well as latest technology like the Corolla.. no doubt these 2 companies produce more costly products than Suzuki, but the price is not all things... Suzuki should give wider size of Liana like Toyota. The other specifications are appreciable which attract people.. the only deficiency is the small size.. people may say that the City is also smaller.. my answer for that is the City should also be bigger in size.. see the other companies like Mitsubishi & Nissan are also bigger in size. They have more capacity than the Liana & City.. So if Suzuki increases the size + quality of materials, + lowers the height of the car, it will be more luxurious car, and people will surely be more attracted towards the Liana.
Thanks.
Hi.
Comparing LIANA vs City.
1) Liana LXi CNG is Most Economical in 1.3L range available in pakistan.
2) Liana has all the those features which one won't find in city like ABS, MP3 player, Key Less Entry, Fog lamps, Alloy Wheels.
3) City has an advantage over petrol consumption.
Well I do wish to know any sort of problems when one first drives his LIANA or CITY.
I've heard the there are couple of factory fitting/mechanical related problem. Please someone do comment about this.

Salaam.Please forget about factory asembly its common in whole world except german cars which are hand assembled
Manufacturer matters a lot so here xli wins due to resale and quality.
But if we see price and specs the fully loaded liana & city1.3 wil have same price as base model corola xli.
So I think liana is preferable. Because of cng and specs.
Well I prefer the XLi over Liana and City because not only is it beautiful, but also reliable, although it has got problems with the brakes, but that can be removed by changing the tyres to 15".
Now what I see about Liana that is bad is its poor quality material, A few days ago, I saw a Liana crashed into a Mehran Alto; the Alto was the least damaged, and the Liana was just destroyed and was like garbage.
The City is good because its brakes are fine and it's more comfortable than Liana and Xli, but Xli beats all the cars of its league in speeding, pick, reliability, fuel economy and so much more. Drive an XLi yourself and you will find how.
If you want to pay that much for a car and give your arm muscles a workout every time you wish to turn your windows down, go ahead, buy a corolla xli. Xli is weak because it doesn't have power windows or power locks. Plus I think it's a little heavy, not as smooth as any Honda.
I think xli and city are liked because honda and toyota are very famous in pakistan. i have driven civic exi, city, liana lxi and also corolla gli. I honestly say that after civc I enjoyed liana the most and that powerful feeling was not in others.

According to a US crash test (eq. EU NCAP) the Liana 2003 is better rated than the 2003 Toyota Corolla. So what you saw in the accident was just how the cars body is made to withstand the force of hitting a object: It doesn't! Instead its break up in pices so that the passengers don't get hit so hard.
Maybe X got a bad one. Pak Suzuki would do well to check their cars carefully before marketing them. We also had some scraping noises and steering problems with a new Mehran some years ago. With the Liana we had some minor trouble with an oil seal in the beginning, but since then it has run without incident for over a year. However, among Pakistani cars I think Honda takes top position on all counts, especially the Civic. The new one is a humdinger, but awfully expensive.
As an aero-mechanical Engineer I'll appreciate the design of Liana 2007 Pakistan, but deny the base of its fabrication. The average of special welded spots of frame, body and suspension area are at minimal level whereas Xli and City get more and press and spot weld i.e more safe for future. Consequently it will no longer bear the road atmosphere like Pakistan. Jolts will result sounds and damage to parts.
