Bro ALL that what you have said is purely subjective. Ofcourse you are entitled to your opinion.
What benchmark did Civic X set exactly? Beat all other cars combined in sales? Beat a GTR around a track?
The car which you are calling as benchmark had its steering rack changed (even twice, thrice in some cases) in every other car. Had its own share of AC evap issues, batteries dying prematurely, etc.
These are not subjective things. The cold hard fact is: every Corolla, Civic, City, Yaris sells well. Now Sportage seems to have added itself in that list too thanks to Pakistanis being unable to look beyond: lights, rims and a big glass over the head.
None of the cars you have mentioned are "spec'ed anywhere near as well" by ANY stretch of imagination compared to their own respect international counterparts. Generation vs generation.
Corolla is the same 8 year old design with equally outdated interior, for which it costs less too.
Elantra is a generation old design and misses out on a lot of things even in comparison to its own generation internationally.
Take that panoramic sunroof out of the equation and please enlighten me what exactly does a generation old Tucson and Sportage offer exactly?
Sportage and Tucson here are the most stripped out crossovers when compared to their international model. But that's okay I guess because: panoramic omg?
Sportage has the most bland, outdated looking interior of all crossovers in market right now.
If you are having a hard time accepting the reality, go to YouTube and search for international reviews of this Sportage from 2015/2016 era when it was launched internationally.
