T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

Wonder wah d price go be and if is gas or diesel

[drchaos]

Will be Gas.

[scotty_buttons]

Well that'll be something. Hopefully they do bring it.
0-60 from a 1.6t SUV in 7.6 seconds with torque available from 1500rpm, is somewhat of a class leader. Faster than a 2.0t q3 too IIRC. Would most likely require premium gas though.
Wonder if it'll be more expensive than the 2.0 Tucson...

[drchaos]

Lard boy ... just did some light reading on the dual clutch transmission they paired the 1.6T on the tucson.

Seem loads of people having software issues and clutch actuator failures with these trannies.

[metalgear2095]

lol....people continue to buy Hyundai/kia because of push button start and reverse camera etc...there are reasons why those cars are cheap and full of features to woo you. I'll take the 2 airbag 15" steel rim 4-speed auto Corolla thank you very much. You can bet that your Grandchildren will enjoy it decades down the road. Toyotas and jap cars in general are built to last. Korean cars are built to take you through the loan period if you lucky.

Grandchildren? Who keeps a car that long anymore?

[DJ Q]

Well at the rate they're increasing the length of time to pay for vehicles, you may not have a choice.
8 years at some institutions now.

[drchaos]

No matter who builds your car these days most new car buyers will end up in some sort of trouble around 7 to 8 year mark. Best to sell after that cause the time and money you spend on maintaining your car increases At least thats with my experience. Even noticed this with Toyotas.

I'm sure this doesn't apply to most in here

[rial]

Gentlemen I would suggest that you update your prices here since this is out of date and the exchange fluctuation and change in Import Duty and MVT taxes have increased.

Had I had the choice of the 1.6T or the 2.0 NA I would still go with the NA as DCT is fairly new to Hyundai and I feel it represents a substantial unknown risk.

[drchaos]

Yeah Dry Dual Clutch transmissions are really risky since the tech is new.
I would say give it another 10 years.

This has no bearing on our car market ...
None of those cars mentioned above come with those engines ...

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

[Monk BANzai]

Updated prices on the NP 300's

[carluva]

How come all models of the navara have the same engine but the high end 4x4 has more hp (190 hp versus 163 hp in all the rest)

agreed but I did not post the article just giving everyone the summary. I think C&D is biased generally towards BMW, Mazda and Honda so I cancelled my subs a while ago.

[drchaos]

Biased you say ...
I think those companies just on fire right now, BMW and MAZDA have been producing really good cars and Honda now getting their groove back.

[Keiron07.0066]

Morning Tuners,

What the average fee customs brokers charge for importing vehicles/car?

[drchaos]

I heard figures from $4500 to $10000.

[elantra]

Update to the new Suzuki vitara prices
The GL+ is $195,950

The GLX 2WD is $215,950

The GLX 4WD is $235,950

[drchaos]

Any reason for a 10K increase in price on all models?

[Dave]

Thinking leather and then 4wd system?

[drchaos]

Or was the previous prices just an introductory price?

[TTAutoGuide]

Or was the previous prices just an introductory price?

previous price was introductory, and the USD to TTD rate changes along with the YEN getting stronger.

[drchaos]

Those new Sportage's selling like hot bread. Seeing real plenty on the roads now.

[jhonnieblue]

Yup...plenty on the north to south routes on a morning
Think they started to bring down more models levels
