Regal Automobiles is launching an automatic variant of Prince Pearl in Pakistan next month, which will become the only vehicle in the 800cc class to offer an automatic transmission. The development has been confirmed by the company’s dealer in Islamabad. However, the price of Prince Pearl Automatic Variant has yet to be confirmed by the company, which will likely be revealed on launch day.
The automatic Prince Pearl variant will compete with Suzuki Alto AGS, but the price of the vehicle will be much lower than its competitors. This is going to be a much-loved entry into the local automotive sector as there has been a lack of automatic vehicles in this category.
Engine and gearbox
The automatic variant of Prince Pearl will feature the same 796cc engine found in the manual transmission variant of the vehicle, but with a 3-speed automatic gearbox. The 3-cylinder engine is capable of producing 40 horsepower (hp) and 60 Newton meters (Nm) of torque.
Characteristics
The exact features of the automatic Prince Pearl variant have yet to be confirmed by the company, but it is reasonable to assume that the automatic variant will carry over all the current features of the manual variant, even if it does not provide additional ones.
The vehicle is expected to come with power windows, DRL, 9-inch LCD touchscreen, rear view camera, alloy wheels, and other similar features of the manual variant of the vehicle. The company could make the driver’s side airbag standard in the automatic variant, which is currently an option in the manual variant.
Prince Pearl Automatic Price in Pakistan
The expected price of Prince Pearl Automatic Variant in Pakistan is Rs. 15 million which is reasonable considering that the manual variant is priced at Rs. 13.3 million. This makes the automatic variant of the vehicle much cheaper than the Suzuki Alto AGS which costs Rs. 17.47 million.
