Should be sizeable.
Isn't 2.0l the displacement where the "Luxury Tax" kicks in i.e. the doubling of Import Duties and MVT?

That's most likely the case. I respect the few reps who are honest and know what they're selling. Some just say what's convenient at the time or whatever they think would help close their sale. I had one rep tell me that Nissan does not equip the 2014 Juke with electronic folding mirrors anywhere globally. Total BS. When I was on the market for a new car a couple years ago, I got a spec sheet for the two grades of Corolla. The lower grade had features listed as on the higher grade. I asked the rep and he was like oh yeah they made a mistake with that. He knew that prior but chose not to mention it before I asked. Reps out there, kudos to the honest ones but to the others, stop BS'ing innocent, non the wiser consumers.

I heard for 2023 it was rebranded to the crosstrek and XV name is dead. So you may be on the ball with this.

So, went for servicing at lifestyle and they had an XLV on show in the waiting area, I checked it out, I think as blown away, it's pretty nice! The seats are very comfortable and quality and fit of the vehicle was pretty good, also that interior is pretty big, all in I really like it.

Yep, it's pretty spacious. The XLV is actually the extended wheelbase version of the Tivoli. LSM has the Tivoli and then 2 Trims of the XLV available.

With regard to the Subaru XV, it is true that Massy will be dropping the 1.6L and bringing it only with the 2.0L engine and will call it the Cross Trek. The pricing I heard was:

- Fabric - $389K
- Fabric Eyesight - $430K
- Leather Eyesight - $460K
- Hybrid Leather Eyesight - $515K

R.I.P XV!

So got a look at the new Wildtrak today. It's $489k. Has no front/360 camera, no tray cover, no self parking. Less features than the old model and costs a lot more

Who said the forester won't be making the same upward trend. They won't price it close to the forester, they would maintain more or less the same price differentiation.

New Grand Vitara is the 1.5L "Smart Hybrid" - which equates to the Mild Hybrid version (12V Lithium Ion Battery Pack and an Integrated Starter Generator with Stop/Start. Small displacement Suzuki engines are pretty fuel efficient IMO, so that coupled with the "mild hybrid" system should give you some descent mileage without the associated full hybrid costs.

There is also the Full Hybrid in the new Grand Vitara, but I don't think LSM has those available as yet.

I would expect to see some reasonable pricing on the new GV seeing as it would be exempt from certain taxes/duties since it falls in the hybrid category.

Do mild hybrids get the tax exemptions?

Last i heard they would not get any exemptions.

Last month one of those lesser known grey market dealers advertised that new shaped GV on FB and IIRC they had it at $210k. Can't remember if it was new or used.

well in this case there is no non-hybrid MY2023 Grand Vitara on the market to compare it to, so that is pointless!
