2006 Suzuki Liana RXi - CNG from Pakistan - Comments

Got city 2006 and so far driven 35000km. feels nice to sit in and go on long drive, but its not good enough during it initial pick up especially while driving on cng. liana I think has got advantage over city in this regard as it comes with company fitted cng which surely gives decent initial pick up even on cng. additionally liana has got more features I mean decorations inside the cabin as compared to very basic ones of city. there is one problem which I definitely feel with liana that its overall outer look is not comparable with that of city. I think company should look into it and would be appreciated if they lower it down a bit as well. xli is not of my type. thanx.

I am just buying liana, I have read all these comments, but in my view if you can drive your car carefully and keep its maintainene at proper time don't have rough driving Liana is a good option in low money with much luxury, anyway its not maintaing honda standard, but I think corrolla standard in Pakistan is also doubtful so no difference in corolla and suzuki.

I purchased a Liana three months back, it's a nice car I am quite satisfy, but the problem came when I drove it in rain, the rear foot place filled with water, just because of very minor ignorance, the two rubber washer were not fitted.

Now the whole carpet is destroyed and having a bad smell, although I have a new car.

So please take care of these small, but very important points.

Well I have reviewed some of the comments made, all I can say is that Suzuki employees have a lot of spare time by replying to a negative review! to prove my point the car had to be bundled with Mehran in dec 07 by Suzuki motors to ensure that dealer keep selling it, as a result a Brand New Liana was being sold for Rs 6,70,000... if you don't believe it go to pakwheels forum and you will find some of those guys who bough a brand new car for this amount, including my self!

Well as far as the value is concerned, the car I will say is not worth more than 6 Lakhs, and I regret I paid that much cause I am giving advertisement in the news and no one wants to buy a car for more that 5 lakhs! anyways the car is good, but spares will be an issue in the longer run as this car has not sold many units and therefore backup sales will not be that good.

So before this mail recieves a million replies from eager Suzuki employees I request them to reduce the price of Liana so it reflects the exact value.

Hello,

I have a previous post :25th Apr 2007, 14:16,

I bought liana on the 15th may 2007 and I still have the car. Also I have Altis, Civic 2005, Baleno 2005, City 2008.

Trust me liana is as good as altis and most spacious of all.

I've never encountered any sort of problem. I've driven it around 42000 km and on rough tracks.. its really comfortable.

Remember it more electronic than city, Corolla, Lancer or any other compact sedan available in pakistan...

Reason for little sale or resale is purely lack of knowledge.. Price is all fine. What can you expect for a compact Sedan? Performance like Camry or Accord...Never..

Liana have better features then any other car in pakistan. i bought liana in 2006.i have no problem since so far. it has advanced CNG kit with injectors which make it economical. it has good pick on CNG. it has two cylinders of CNG.

I had brought a Liana in May 2006 and still have it. This is not a bad car overall and does have all the features of a good sedan. I think the Suzuki company is panicking because of less sales but this panic could easily have been avoided had they given a little bit of attention to their quality control. Most of the people who have bought Liana could buy a City or Xli so they immediately start comparing them while these are established bands in Pakistan while Liana is new to their comparison. To my mind we need to understand the dynamics of Liana as it will bounce back. Remember the miserable launch of City.Let the novice mature.

Dear all firstly i'd say I am not sure whether suzuki employes writing all these positive replies or not but honestly I am not suzuki lover or emplyee. honestly speaking I was previously anti-suzuki and I am honda lover.

Coming to the topic, due to my buiz nature I drive often from karachi to lahore or sadiqabad I used corolla 2.0d, 1.8vvti corolla, xli corolla, honda civic 2000 - 1998, honda city 2001, honda city 2006, now I tried with my friend karachi to lahore liana rxi 1.3l cng n petrol.

I only say in perfect long drive everybody calculate TOTAL acceleration, perfect control, and comfort. Considering all these I found HONDA CIVIC 1998-2000 on top of the line and in altis/xli as they drive in same way only shoot difference in altis therefore I prefer LIANA RXI as its perfect drive comparing with altis/xli and ALSO FUEL consuption is impressive @ cng, petrol also better.

I am not sure about every liana that how its assembled but the one we used is late 7month year 2006 rxi. At speed b/w 100-120+ xli/altis jumps like VIGO double cabe and stearing control always shaky over 120.

In this way liana is better than xli/city 2006 at least, and by fuel too.

But the fact is in full-acceleration you will enjoy honda till speed 190-200 and toyota 190km/hr but in suzuki acceleration its not pleasing as it ends by 160km/hr hardly.

Liana is by drive good and fuel economy.

Recently, a detailed market survey was conducted by me prior to finalizing my decision to buy a 1300cc sedan car. In fact, Suzuki Liana RXI-CNG is the only reliable car which has factory-fitted 'CNG', and if you compare this car with the price level of Corolla and Honda, then I am sure you will find it as most economical. The Liana interior and exterior are also attractive and good-looking. As a continuous improvement, recently Pakistan Suzuki Motor Company has extended the Liana warranty to 2 years (from 1 year) and 40,000km (from 20,000km). This car is ideal for those whom want economical maintenance and fuel costs. Wow! Three free services and free oil changes after every 5000km, up to 15000km; this means three times are free. I strongly recommend this car to you, Buddy. Good luck.

I have liana 2007. it has problem with regard to its pick in mountainous areas. It can't climb murrees hilly area. the car is giving this problem from day one. I am really afraid of if I have to go to murree due to any official committment. I can prove it. Either it has some problem or all are of the type.

Hey guys, I am no Suzuki employee, but for sure I'm a big fan of the Liana.

I had 2006 Liana LXi (ABS brakes), no CNG so loved that car from day one on patrol.

Never had problems in hilly areas, even took that car to Kalar Kahar, Naraan Kagan without a problem.

Belirve it or not, that car use to hit 190 KM/S, (got videos to prove it) and got countless tickets on the motorway (FSD to Islamabad), but no one could ever catch that car.

Peace...

There is no such problem in liana in climbing etc

better you check your spark plugs since its mpi fuel distrubution. ngk's irridium single spark plugs are the best.

After instaling the same adjust rpm by petrol mixture.

If problem remains take ur car for checkup I think injectors mess.

Liana's OK, not very exciting, but a good all-rounder. As a family car it is well designed and built, but quality control could be better. Suzuki company's back-up services are a bit deficient. I am happy with my 2006 Liana, which does long runs very well -- plus a lot of city running without ruining me. Can recommend this car for ordinary folk who don't want to show off.
