Remember globally Japs cost more than Chinese n Koreans usually.

Globally the Japs don't sell stripped down versions of their cars either.

Globally revo and fortuner come with tons more features here there's nothing. Globally they're 2 gens ahead for corolla here were 11 years into the same thing with absolutely 0 modern features. Same for civic 1cr with pump seats. Chinese weather you like them or not they don't strip any feature. Same vehicle everywhere. Isuzu latest gen with all features costs about 30 lack less than a Toyota why so.
The list goes on brother
Stop buying the big 3 is the motto

Your point was Japanese are earning a profit how dare they earn a profit in their business. And you conveniently ignored the Chinese and Koreans are earning more profit or at least as much as them with their overpriced cars.

Toyota cars are not stripped. Half a decade or so ago maybe. Their latest offering is Cross and it has full adas not really stripped down. Only HRV was.

Sure this change is brought by more competition and Chinese, Koreans, etc are a welcome addition.

But your point is how dare Toyota earn a profit. They should give out cars on charity while others are allowed to earn profit ?

Toyotas are not fully stripped out ..only some hondas are (hrv hybrid is still decently featured compared to civic or petrol hrv mainly due to the increased competition from haval and cross) so honda had to give somethings to compete, their decade old formula of giving no features wouldnt have worked now(in this crossover market).. Isuzu even with 40 lacs less can not compete with Toyota revo this quickly it will need time where it would have to show its durability and pass the test of time ..toyota is the market leader in suvs and 4by4 trucks every ngo,govt organization uses Toyota made vehicles so that is in itself a level of trust that is made over years of unmatched reliability and durability.. now Isuzu also may be good but the dealership network across the country will need expanding same level as Toyota and some time without any issues then it may be considered on the same level as Revo.

plus imo isuzu wants to capture market share of revo thats why priced 30 lac less ..same strategy adopted by kia and hyundai, launched Tucson/sportage with less price tag hen haval h6 just to give tough time and capture the market share.

Their latest offering is Cross and it has full adas not really stripped down.

Corolla Cross does not have full Level 2 ADAS similar to what most Chinese and Koreans are offering. Indus has stripped the local Cross of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 like it offers in other markets.

Corolla Cross only offers Level 0 ADAS because all it has are parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and RCTA. This feature set barely costs between USD $200-300 to add.

To qualify for Level 1 or Level 2 ADAS, the vehicle must have either Adaptive Cruise, Lane Tracing and Centering or both (Level 2).

I know. Changan also doesn’t offer the same level of adas as Haval. Koreans were offering stupid dumb cruise with zero ADAS, no blind spot monitor.

Only now after Haval they are bringing adaptive cruise .

But yeah, Toyota has no right to earn profit as per some posters here. But Chinese and Koreans absolutely do with outrageous pricing - specially the new Sorento, Sportage and H6 hev.

Free market doesn’t matter to some posters. It is simple. If a vehicle is great it will sell. In crossovers Japanese are struggling as they didn’t bring a great product.

But Toyota as a whole should have absolutely no right to earn profit and close down their factories as per Arslan.
