Regal Motors Launches Prince Pearl With Full Specifications and Price Details

By Hasan Saeed and Haamiz Ahmed

The hatchback that everyone was waiting for has finally been launched. Competing with the United Bravo, Prince Pearl was looking to be quite the competitor for the features it promised.

While the Bravo was launched by a Chinese manufacturer to mixed response and the company was forced to relaunch it late last year. Yesterday the Pearl was officially launched by DFSK in Lahore.

Interestingly, the Bravo was launched in direct completion to the Mehran but since the Mehran was discontinued it will go head-to-head against the Pearl to capture the market.

So, without further ado, here’s Prince Pearl in all its glory:

Exterior

SuzukiAlto

It is a step-up from the Mehran with contemporary LED lights and fog lamps at the front, alloy rims and at the back, the rear-lights are placed in the middle. This gives it a stylish and contemporary look that is to be expected from any modern hatchback and the large curved grille at the front and a slightly curved bumper making it more pleasing to look at.

The side mirrors are body-colored and auto-retract when you turn off the car. It also features LED turn-signals on the side mirrors which isn’t something you see in other cars in this price range.

Moving on to the back, it features round/curvy aesthetics. There are some interesting quirks though. The “PRINCE” and “Pearl” are in different fonts altogether with Prince written in all-caps. Other than that the tail-lights appear to be fairly large but have a small arrow-like shape when you turn them on.

Interior

Unlike Suzuki Mehran and the new Alto, Pearl’s interior looks more premium with a silver/wooden accent (depends on your choice) on the doors and on the dashboard. This is similar to the Bravo which also features a wooden accent.

Here’s the speedometer:

It boasts the standard features like an infotainment system that supports USB/AUX and it is important to point out that it has a digital instrument cluster (shown above) meaning it is already better than the car it is replacing.

There’s a 9-inch LCD touchscreen Android-based infotainment system with Bluetooth, SD card and AUX cable support.

Over on the back, the wooden/silver accent continues with power windows on the back as well (a feature that’s missing on Suzuki WagonR’s base model) and a storage compartment.

The rear seats both feature headrests and seatbelts. Legroom seems to be sparse though.

Unlike United Bravo, Prince Pearl does come with a spare tire but the placement seems odd as the company could’ve hidden it under a plastic base to give it an even look. Still, it seems to have ample trunk space for its size.

Engine

SuzukiAlto

The Pearl is powered by a water-cooled 796CC EFI engine with an overhead camshaft coupled with a manual four gear transmission. It is pertinent to point out that the Price Pearl will be getting an automatic variant too, however, it will be launched later.
