What are your thoughts on this?

Seems like it may eat into the Rav4 and CRV sales

[agent007]

Honestly I am yet to truly classify where it will fit. It's about the size of a GLC but instead its fwd and that layout is easy to fit a 3rd row over the rear subframe. The 1.3t seems anemic at first but the output numbers are not bad. I'm thinking its closest competitor is the Tiguan 2.0t and a Forester EyeSight.

If you into brand and prestige over features like sunroof, premium sound and awd then Benz just brought a major upsetter.

Look more competitors joining the upset party, now available in the smaller 1.5t engines:

Putting 7 people in a more powerful. vehicle (say 2.0T XC90), you can surely feel the sluggishness a little bit. I wonder how it would hold up in this 1.3T. fwd GLB

[A172]

that glb rel ugly

[agent007]

A172 you find so bro? To me it might age well.

Lime green, at least it will pull better than a Rush lol

That 2 series Gran Coupe rel ugly boy. Weys.

X2 not bad but I find it hard to classify that as a sub compact SUV

Looks more like a hatchback. Just like the GLA.

Haha true... have to say a small prayer when merging onto the highway with 7 ppl

Yeah the X2,X1, GLA, QX30 etc are all lumped into the compact SUV segment currently (sales aren’t strong enough to warrant its own segment yet). So it’s compared against XC40, X3, GLC etc as well.

Also I’d stay away from them. Just bad value...

yh it is

add new CLA and A Class sedan to that list

[bess almera]

[agent007]

If Lafast, then possibly the most expensive brand new vehicle imported into the country by an authorized dealership ie. non grey market

TBH that GLB dosent look half bad although not my cup of tea. Price is inviting however if Benz decides to give this the 1.3 T Plug in Hybrid setup like the CLA250e etc it will make it very very competitive. Same for those those more affordable BMWs for example X1 and X2 when the 1.5 T Pug in Hybrid goes on sale possibly 2 series GC. Its great to see these premium brands come closer and closer to most persons affordability. But that X7 tho

Somehow I feel it’ll be a while till plug in hybrid euros are available here via our local firms

Very correct. Would be available quicker through the Grey Market

Porsche has Cayenne hybrids at LSM years now. There's even Volvo XC90 T8 hybrids at Massy.

That is true.

Was more referring to the more mainstream euro brands; Merc, BMW, Audi, VW

[feeldavibe]

Anyone know is SS has the 2020 Optima yet? And if they do is it the one with the 1.6T?

Indeed but was referring to the recent smaller engine offererings from the Euros

[Shalom Vanamson]

If youre referring to the K5/Optima that came late last year no it hasnt. Frankly thats an interesting story because that car is going through a name change globally and will be called K5 which has been the name in the Korean market for some time. Also bigger RHD markets like Australia and the UK wont be getting it due to poor sales. So with all that in mind I doubt we will see that vehicle be sold here locally which is sad I personally was waiting for it to land here.

[agent007]

Guys, some actual showroom photos of the 2020 Suzuki XL7 1.5 7 seat crossover has been released by some LSM team members. See below:

Looks like the Toyota Rush is in possible trouble.

[greggle71]

Lard dat car ugly

[rebound]

Ah little too busy for me.....but looks better than the Rush I guess.

[*$kїđž!™]

Rush is still a toyota ...
So that suzuki cant compare against a toyota..no day no time...

[carluva]

The Rush is actually a Diahatsu which has been rebadged as a Toyota.

When the vehicle first came to our shores, I went to see it and the vehicle nameplate is Diahatsu, not Toyota.

But at the end of the day, it still carries a Toyota badge, so there's that perception, I guess...

Diahatsu is owned by Toyota. Toyota has been a major shareholder in Diahatsu for decades.

That's too bad. Looks like such a bad ass car. What model year Optima do we currently have? I suppose it's the 2.0 version as well?

We currently have the 2020 Optima and yes with the 2.0 engine

[rebound]

The K5 really has loads of features and looks like the shark mouth Galant
