Who cares whether Japanese company beat the hell out of Korean or the other way round. 99.9% of the forumers here are just ordinary car owners and not linked to the automotive industry. Those who wanted to talk about marketing strategies should just open another thread and talk until the cows come home.
So can we stick to the topic and discuss about the New Elantra ? |

QUOTE(sitescope @ Apr 26 2017, 06:37 PM) I dun care other country If really 109k OTR, take my money too If they sell turbo version at 109k with gst, just take my money If pricey, they should look at their history   I believe it is more likely to be in the 124k-129k range. |

My guess is that the 2.0 NA normal spec price at 104k, high spec at 114k.
1.6 TGDI normal spec price at 124k, high spec at 134k. |

I think that was North America's spec and perhaps price also. I don't think our spec has 6-speed MT, sunroof, heated mirror and front seat. And due to our high excise duty, the price definitely will be higher.

Ioniq was given EEV status and hence lower tax and lower OTR price. Elantra on the other hand, based on the FC reported from other markets, most likely will not have EEV status and subject to a few thousands ringgit higher tax. The FC for Civic is quite good which earn it EEV status and thus competitive pricing.

On the other hand, they brought in Ioniq quite fast.

Seems like the new Elantra will only be launched next month due to "technical" issue.

QUOTE(cms @ Jun 3 2017, 08:46 PM) Shall see what's in the package when officially announced. Then the sales number will be proof of Malaysia acceptance at this price. I am one of the person targeting for the new Elantra. If the 1.6T come with the same equipment/safety features as in Ioniq HEV+, 135k is still reasonable. But will I buy at this price ? probably not. Will wait for big discount later or just go for Civic 1.5T or Ioniq.For one, I am kind of disappointed with the price. Hopefully those that supported the car in this thread will put the money where the mouth is. I. E actually buy the car. |

QUOTE(sitescope @ Jun 5 2017, 04:28 PM) civic 1.5t got many isu if u read their thread due to made in melaka QC Looks horrible, that Civic.Latest viral » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « ioniq better but dislike rear design n rear bonet space Yup, reasons that put me off from Ioniq (at least for now) is the rear passenger space. The rear design is still acceptable, at least better than the Civic. I currently drive an Elantra HD and still prefer to buy a Hyundai as my next car. |

Go to see the car just now. Looks much bigger than the Ioniq beside it. Exterior really nice except for the rim. A bit disappointed with the material used for the interior, my old Elantra HD has much better interior quality. And yes the red leather seat looks horrible and whoever made the decision to use it is stupid.

Seems like many people are waiting for the big discount but probably it won't happen so soon.
Regarding the auto cruise control, it's just regular auto cruise control. Not the smart cruise control installed in the Ioniq, confirmed that with SA when I visited the showroom last Saturday. |

QUOTE(squall_kay @ Jun 13 2017, 09:37 PM) price Agree on the price part. 135k is reasonable if it includes IONIQ safety/sensing features and provide better interior perceive quality. Else, it should be priced 10k lower.- i'm ok with the elantra sport asking price IF they had include IONIQ safety/sensing features and provide better interior perceive quality. after have a look and feel the car's interior, even when the SA offer for test drive, i just humbly decline because i had lost my interest. actually i'm waiting to have a look on this car as potential candidate to replace my Focus mk3. I do believe Elantra Sport will drive well especially after watching numerous YouTube's video review but this is not the car for me.  i may change my mind if there will be big discount (so that can justify lack of sensing features and mediocre perceived interior quality) , because based on observation and some read-up, seems like many people felt the price off target.  |

QUOTE(chongkiatz @ Jun 17 2017, 11:53 AM) DCT vs CVT which more reliable? Now off course is CVT. But in the early days of CVT, it is pretty problematic as well. |

QUOTE(mostwanted82 @ Jun 19 2017, 02:19 PM) Don't think buyer willing to pay extra cost to change the leather outside themselves. Same sentiment here. I think majority of the potential buyers dislike the red leather seat. Sime Darby should just admit that they have made a blunder and offer an alternative color.This price is already non acceptable for most of the people, if still need to pay extra to change leather then i will not consider. Dream car is dream car, but still need to be practical. |
