Compared to Toyota o r Honda vehicles, the Changan Alsvin’s paint does appear to be more prone to scratches and swirl marks. Owners often report that even light dusting o r using a microfiber towel results in visible scratches. This is likely because the paint layer is softer and thinner than that used by Japanese brands. Softer paint finishes dont hold up well to daily wear, especially when exposed to frequent car washes that involve hard water o r aggressive rubbing. The overall paint hardness and thickness on the Alsvin seem below industry standards, which explains the higher tendency to develop swirl marks and micro-abrasions.
