Please no blanket statement, It is the features that make it expensive. Yaris in ME is more expensive (Approx 80k PKR differnce)
One more thing you are talking about 1 gen old city vs new yaris
The current City Aspire AT is at is 28.6 factory price.VS 30.0 for Yaris Top model
Now lets just add features to current model and see what impact it will add
1.5 for the Air bags
0.5 for the keyless entry push start and proper immobilizer
0.5 for the climate control
0.5 for BH,HCA, VSC, TC
So 3.0 for these features and i have kept the pricing to the minimum, so you are talking about 31.85 only if the features are sensibly added to the current car.
Now add the cost adder they will put for the new model?? 1.0
You are looking at about 32.5 to 33 for a City Aspire
That is very close to Corolla Altis X that will definitely get people thinking..
What will be good will be if they can price the 1.2 close to the gli yaris, that wil make things interesting
