Hi everyone, bumping this since City RS pricing has been released and is about ~RM3,000 more. What do you think?

Went to dealers and City RS ready stock available whereas X50 booking since Nov 2020 still need wait 1-2 months..

Both are expensive >RM100k car.

I will say it depends which hyped you wanted to join/avoid.

On one hand X50 is offering SUV and L2 autonomous driving hype. On another hand City RS is like an EV.

I want to use it as only car for city + highway drive, either works as intended. I am comfortable with the ~RM100k price range and like the looks & packaging of both cars. Seen both on the road and both look great in white/red!

The difference is CityRS gives better fuel economy, Apple Carplay and potentially better handling from lower ride while X50 FS gives 1.5T GDi hp and torque, better safety/convenience suite (ADAS 2.0 including low speed follow, full 360 camera, BSM), and lastly pano sunroof.

Hope this clarifies.

Just ask yourself, are you wanting/ready for driving an EV like vehicle, now?

You can practically treat RS as an EV, minus the charge your car part.

Which back to my very first suggestion, you wanted to join the SUV/high tech hype or the EV/smart vehicle hype.

Thanks for this smile.gif Just checked it out and it looks like a great car! However, I really value the ADAS suite (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, low speed follow, etc) which somehow is omitted on the Vios GR.

RS got low speed follow?
