Suzuki has recently launched locally assembled Every in Pakistan. It has replaced Suzuki Bolan, which ruled this category for decades in Pakistan but lost its charm after the launch of Changan Karvaan. Now, many of you will be curious to see a comparison of Suzuki Every vs. Suzuki Bolan. For that reason, we are here with a detailed comparison of the top variants of both microvans, i.e., Every VXR vs. Bolan AC.
So, let’s start with the price difference, as it is one of the most important factors for many customers when buying a car.
Every vs. Bolan: The Price Difference
Here is the price difference between the Every and Bolan.
| Suzuki Every price in Pakistan | Suzuki Bolan price in Pakistan |
| Rs. 2,799,000 | Rs. 1,940,000 |
Suzuki Bolan and Every VXR have a price difference of Rs. 859,000. It is a huge difference for the target audience of these cars. Now, let us see if the higher price of the Suzuki Every is justified or not.
Body and Specs
Suzuki Every is better in all the body specs compared to the Bolan. It is longer, wider, and taller, along with a longer wheelbase. As a result, it provides more space inside the cabin and better stability due to the longer wheelbase. Moreover, its ground clearance is also more than the Bolan, making it suitable for Pakistani roads with uneven speedbreakers. Moreover, you will get a disc brake on the front side, providing efficient braking. The fuel tank is also slightly bigger compared to the Bolan.
So in this comparison, the new Suzuki Every wins.

Which Performs Better? Suzuki Every or Bolan
Now, many of you will be thinking that the Suzuki Every comes with a nearly 660cc engine, whereas the Bolan comes with a nearly 800cc engine, so the Every might be underpowered. Well, the surprise is, Every’s engine produces more power compared to the Bolan, so don’t worry much about power. Moreover, you will get a 5-speed manual transmission in Every compared to the 4-speed MT of Bolan.
The Suzuki Every’s engine type is DOHC vs. OHC of the Bolan. DOHC is generally better for performance, while OHC is better for simplicity and affordability. Overall, the new Every comes with a better engine and transmission and is the winner of this section again.
