Based on Massy's pricing that would start at 300k or something.
Still to wrap my head around the fact 5 years ago a 2.0l engine Qashqai started at 250 - 255k and today a 1.3l Qashqai starts at 285k.
Sales Rep say forex is a reason for higher prices but Gervase Warner not buying US$ on the black market or from shady Chinese businessmen. Massy getting Forex at the same 6.78 to one as they always had.
It’s even worse they are a net earner of US. They might not be even buying

I remember when Ford and GM went bankrupt and they were huge companies then and now, actually I think GM was on track to be the world's largest automaker, didnt see anyone saying not to buy rangers or Colorado's etc.Kritical01 wrote:Before investing your $$ in Ssangyong, be mindful that the brand is bankrupt.

SsangYong was bought by Mahindra in 2020, yes they were sold this year and that's being completed as far as my research goes, but the other research that I've done on their vehicles returned positive reviews in driveability, comfort, safety and durability,, based on the parts they're using I'd say their vehicles should stand up better than a Hyundai/Kia vehicle, my point is that if GM etc can go bankrupt and be ok, then SsangYong will be fine.Gladiator wrote:zando wrote:I remember when Ford and GM went bankrupt and they were huge companies then and now, actually I think GM was on track to be the world's largest automaker, didnt see anyone saying not to buy rangers or Colorado's etc.Kritical01 wrote:Before investing your $$ in Ssangyong, be mindful that the brand is bankrupt.

Ford GM and Chrysler are the "Big 3" bro... they have the backing of the American Govt. Any bankruptcy would be bailed out swiftly due the impact on the American economy.
Ssangyong on the other hand.... I don't think so.

Its not really the same. Ssangyong has such a small market share that they are hanging on by a thread. The original buyer Edison Motor themselves went bankrupt and couldn't buy them out. A Korean steel company has managed to buy them. Investing in this vehicle could go very wrong and is risky, regardless of how good the car performs.

The bi turbo may be the preferred option given the power output vs the competition.
Interesting to see how these engines respond to our crappy diesel quality.

Hyundai Tucson 1.6 Turbo
Chevy Equinox
Chevy Cruze
MG HS
MG ZS
Lancer GDI
Subaru XV
New Honda Civic 1.5 Turbo
Honda CRV 1.5 Turbo
Ssangyong Korando
Suzuki S Cross
Suzuki Swift Sport

Even the 1.6 Ck4 from way back has a 95+ octane sticker inside the gas lidProtonPowder wrote:The 1.6 Lancer 4A92 is port injected and requires premium. The same one that came in lancers which could be purchased for 160k new from Diamond Motors a few short years ago

They just don’t understand cars really. They think premium means luxury. More car companies are making smaller turbo engines that require premium for fuel efficiency etc.
I’m 100% fine if they want to remove fuel subsidy. But now it’s time to remove our ridiculous car taxes.
