Thank you j.o.e I was just about to chime in on that LED lights vs. LED drls. LED headlamps will be optional for quite a while the electronics required for making them work effectively as headlights is quite expensive.
On another note the new Sportage front end is ghastly especially that quad fog thing on the SX or GT or whatever it is. The features are pretty nice blind spot assist, motorized tailgate, touch screen headunit to name a few. For the price around 290something I believe(correct me if i'm wrong) pretty hard to beat.

So basically the only car offering LED headlights is the Audi A4. All the other cars mentioned have LED DRLs.


The mid spec and fully loaded Vitara coming with led headlights too

LED Projectors with Halogen Multi-reflector Headlights

Doesn't sound like the same thing to be honest.

Once the light working properly I am not fussed. In this country you pay for the badge. If you like the brand and can afford the brand, you buy.

No mix up pal.

The cars I said come with LED DRLs AND LED headlights.

LED headlights out a good few years now. Audi spearheaded it IIRC. Soon they'll be standard in most vehicles. In about five years I reckon.
I think almost all new vehicles now come with LED headlights as an option. Including the mighty Corolla which has LED headlights as STANDARD in some markets.. It's just not available in ours.

I don't think the tech is that expensive anymore... Heck I have some pretty decent quality LED headlight 'bulbs' in my 06 RAV projectors for several months now. And they cost about $100USD. And they're at least as good as HID or better. Y'all need to get updated :lol:

The C class doesn't come standard with LED headlights locally. Nor does the WRX locally. You can check the pics a few pages back too. All this is just to say in the case of the local A4 it's not something unusual to see as an optional upgrade since it is no where near standard on cars locally in its price bracket. We are not saying that many models abroad don't have access to LED headlights as an option.

Think I meant to quote the guy above you. My bad lol
The impression I was getting from other people was that LED headlights are so farfetched when it isn't really. And is becoming a norm.

But.. for our market, I'm sure the C class comes standard with LED headlights. The Avantgarde at least.. I know this because we just purchased one. The only 'extra' we added were the smart key and AMG exterior. Everything else came as is. (LED headlights and DRLs) If you insist on getting one with halogens though, you have to somehow 'special order' it with halogens. Although I am aware that base models c class in other countries may come with halogens..
Same I was told for the WRX locally. I checked and asked personally.
Didn't notice any detailed C class or WRX pics or specs earlier in this thread. Just prices.

The new Sportage come stock with Hanook Tyres. The hifly Tyres are on the units which customers request aftermarket wheels. The fully loaded model has bi xenon headlight and the base model has bi halogen.
Even for the base model it's packed with features.

Massy is in trouble with that tucson pricing. The sportage fully loaded is about 40K cheaper and comes with more features. Although I find the looks extremely weird now ... It will grow on people as more of them are on the road.

you can get a fully loaded 2016 (new shape) RAV4 with leather, sunroof and mind-you a whooping 9 airbags for $340k. Do remind me why I should buy a Tucson over the crossover King ie. RAV4?
