Base Models - Toyota RAV4 AWD sells for $32k ,Nissan Dualis AWD $31 ,Toyota Klugger AWD- $41 Ford Territory AWD $41 , Nissan X-Trail $42 ,, Chinese 'Great Wall'(with features of top-range luxury model(normally about$3- 7$ extra on abovem odels)-leather, bluetooth, reverse camera, alloywheels power w/s/locks/mirror,foglights,etc) - $23999, Chinese 'Cherry'(top range only)- $19999(manual) And not to rule them out coz they are chinese, they have passed required tests to be on Australian roads (never heard of any tests for our roads).most people drive automatic in Oz coz of frequent signals and dont want to have grinded knees pressng the clutch and shifting gears. The fuel advantage of the manual is not worth a sore knee in the long run. Anyway with import duty in India the car cost almost doubles eg the Toyota Landcruiser is about Rs 40lacs in Oz sells for Rs 97lacs in India. And does anyone get any benefits except for the mantri? I hope people buying(???)that car knows this price difference.
If you wait for couple of months, this will come discounted by atleast 3-4 lacs! People are not going to buy this because company doesn't have any dealer network or service network.
