2018 Hyundai Tucson - Brief Overview

[fearisover]

bro 2.8m is impossible. It will be around 32 and above. (32 lakh is the base price in international markets.)

IF the people at Nishat browse through this thread and similar topics where people are suggesting and justifying higher prices they might as well meet swank expectations.

It reminds me of a bridge joke where people line up to pay tax and receive a slap but only question that speed of guy slapping us is slow, it would be better if he slapped faster and let us cross.

There is a retail clothing chain in Pakistan owners are known to me, back in early 2000s they started off with low prices and good fabric but people didn’t come as they thought, they did a survey and it was found that public considered them substandard due to their low prices, not posh enough, they raised the prices and now hoardes of people visit them and buy substandard fabric at higher rates.

[suhaibayaz]

Maybe it has become a national trait to buy crap at higher prices due to psychological complexes

[Khurramchauhdary]

Well defined. I had seen a lot of so called people try to justify their so called expertise by quoting the higher price.

And what is the source of this information? Why are you try to make us? Don't you knew everyone has internet access now a days? For your information I am sharing few links. Check not a single country offering the base model above 28 pkr and most of them starting as low as 23. So kindly correct you facts and avoid to misguide others.

Now please don't try to compensate your ignorance by the logic that Pakistan is 3rd word country so we should ready to pay more. Compare the price with civic on the same site and it is starting below from civic in some countries and civic in Pakistan starts from 23.

All the links you shared quote the price of Tucson at $28,000 and above which is 32lakh PKR. The second link (caranddriver.com) shows the price of $24,000 which is actually an estimate that you might get a car from a certain dealership at that price but it's not the actual price of the car.
There is no such this as "most of them starting as low as 23", a brand new Tucson costs upward of 30 lakh ($28,000). Now consider the current exchange rate and tax Tucson will start above 30 even if the company makes a lot of cut downs. (P.S it's not me who is misguiding the public instead its the government who is responsible for the current situation and people has to buy cars at a much higher price than normal.)

Check again 1st two links. Hyundaiusa and 2nd one caranddrive where it strats from $22550 and $23650 respectively. Don't understand why you are still trying to defend your high price proposal. Its okay if you are doing some paid content (mentioned on the content in that case) but not free of cost. Check again

Attached a picture too and don't forget to compare the features which they are offering at $22k and $23k in the name of base version which won't came here even in the top of line due the feedbacks of your kind of experts if they would be fortunate enough to bother you people.

No this is not a paid content however i will get more intel on the whole Tucson scenario and if its really 23k in most markets then it will be Zulum if we get it at 30 and above. But first ill have to confirm on my why it says 28k on some places while 23k on other.

[suhaibayaz]

Yeah please confirm this isn’t the first time that you are proven wrong by a member.

It’s all to help you learn and one day become Fazal Wahab.

[Khurramchauhdary]

No one is perfect everyone is learning something from someone on this forum and this is why we are here. My humble request to you and others that don't be the source of encouragement for these looters who are selling their craps at way higher price unconsciously by your self assumptions, anticipation and interpretation instead try to secrew them and ask for justified pricing. Being 5th largest automobile market we deserve a lot better vehicles at cheaper prices.

I agree to this and I personally know that people in Honda Atlas did factor in the price expectations by going through Pakwheel threads where some 'car enthusiast' were expecting 10th gen Civic prices to be around 26-27 and Turbo to be higher. Similarly, in Corolla thread, the die hard Rolla fans were all expecting increase of at least 1-2 lacs in the facelift, and that's what they got. Assemblers didn't have to do any marketing or give justification for the price increase. The heightened expectations by their fans did the job.

I argued at that time also to discourage this trend and stated that in case these manufacturers are wise enough, they won't price their products at the (higher) prices expected by their fans but at a reasonable price which could completely erode the market share of the other. However it turned out I was wrong, as both of them never had any issue from demand side - the demand remained high even when the prices were raised too high.

[Khurramchauhdary]

Than they always came up to justify the higher price tag in featureless launch as compared to rest of world with their layman kind of expertise.

[suhaibayaz]

Exactly what I wrote in another thread that demand keeps rising and number of vehicles being sold keeps increasing year on year, automakers are enhancing production lines, price increases don’t make a dent. People are rich l, getting richer and willing to pay extra. Economy is great!

Okay, I did some research and reached out to some of my sources around the world. Yes! The Tucson is available at $24-25k but only in few markets including USA and Canada. Well, i was also told that it isn't something new as brand new cars for eg. Camry costs $23k in USA and Canada while even in its home country (Japan) the same car costs $31k. These are some of the many examples I can give you. Due to a very flexible automobile policy in a country like America, the cars tend to cost less than rest of the world (95% of the times). The links you shared were American and the prices were associated with that country. While in rest of the world cars like Tucson, Camry, Avalon or even Corolla are significantly more expensive. That's not it, if you think this price assumption is letting the manufacturers increase the car prices then this is also not true, do some research on the import costs of the parts, the labour in Pakistan and the most pathetic auto policy you will realize why cars often cost that much here. I would like to clear one thing that you can never get a Tucson in $24k in Pakistan as we are no way near America or Canada but only a revised auto policy along with lesser import costs can bring down the prices. Sadly, with that said I wish Tucson comes at an impressively low price (inshAllah) but that is highly unlikely. So it's better to prepare for the worst.
