So, it came as no surprise when the business revealed the price of the Oshan X7. What’s remarkable is that, based on its specifications and features, it appears to be less expensive than many C-segment compact SUVs in Pakistan.

The new Changan Oshan X7 competes with several compact SUVs due to its affordability. Let’s see if it’s any better than the others. And, since we’ve focused so much on the pricing, you’re probably curious about the actual price differential between the four. Let’s have a look.
