Don't be fooled by 'entry' though. They're all fully powered crossovers with mp3/aux/usb/bt stereos with minimum 6 speakers, 17 and in the case of the mazda 18/19" rims, projector lights, full suite of airbags and abs etc...what makes them an entry level? Stuff like non electric fabric seats, no sunroof, no powered tail gate, stuff like that. The CX5 has fog lights and none of the rav4s come with rear AC vents (just like Forester).
About that Forester, the XT turbo is almost $500k now just like the Outlander 2.4 and climbing up to the mid size class, a Sorento and by extension a Santa Fe both with the 2.2 diesel or 2.4 gas in fully loaded trim are minimum $500k. Luckily, the 2018/19 santa fe has a possible 2.0t which will mean lower taxes. So I hope Massy passes the savings onto us.
When you take the above into consideration, stuff like the Fortuner, Prado, Everest and the MUX/Trailblazer siblings, suddenly the prices seem warmer to your pocket. Let me give you a reminder before I go, Fortuner is $800k, Prado is almost a mil and the Trailblazer/MUX are in the $600k range. Luckily for ANSA, they have two Everests, a 2.2 and 3.2 but you will quicker see the 2.2 for obvious reasons.
So my friends, happy SUV shopping...
Just hard to even fathom. SmhAllergic2BunnyEars wrote:If I’m spending over 400k I’m going euro. Vehicles coming with 1.5 T engines but cost the same or more than a 2.0?
agent007 wrote:Good point. Right now you can get a well equipped c180 for $395k - $435k. The crossover crave/hype is currently a world trend so manufacturers and dealers are increasing their profit margins on them. Previously the crv 2.0 fully loaded was $395k but the new 1.5 fully loaded is 415k. The sales rep said because it costs more to import the vehicle and with Honda raising the price, Classic Motors ought to be proud of themselves to keep the increase by a slim $20k margin considering the new crv is leaps ahead in equipment levels.

If you are buying a 4x4 at over $300k you should not worry about fuel consumption.
