This car looks really really good but don't know what Toyota SA is aiming for... from initial comments it seems it will fit in just just under the Rav 4 so it will be expensive, it looks small with little rear legroom and a small hatchback size boot... so it's unpractical as well. Would think that the ideal way to market it is a smaller, more affordable, sporty Coupe SUV (like a "poor" man's BMW X4), but then they went and stuck a puny little engine in it?? Doesn't make sense at all...

This car has many direct competitors. It is going up against the Juke, Mokka, 2008, Cactus, Captur, EcoSport, 500X, Vitara/SX4 etc etc... Even your beloved Koreans have a player on the way in the Creta. It is the fastest growing segment in the world.

Summary

The asking price at local launch in March 2017 is predicted to be in the range of R320 000 to R350 000, depending on specification levels. This places it far above the popular Ford EcoSport, for example, and may seem a little on the steep side. It is, though, pretty much in line with Nissan SA’s Qashqai pricing strategy.

Still, based on first impressions, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that the C-HR will sell particularly well in South Africa. And it certainly cannot be accused of being boring…

Fast facts

All of them cheaper, except the Mokka which has a 1.4 Turbo? Usually it is wise to read slowly, think, then reply, but only if you understood what you read. My point was not that small crossovers are not popular... I'm gonna assume you're one of those trolls who just feels the need to disagree on anything without reading first, so will try and ignore you further :o

Okay bye
 
I hate it when people disagree with you, when they know nothing about the subject they are disagreeing about. For anyone that is not ignoring me like Mr High Horse above... So the predicted price range is R320k - R350k. Juke is R288k - R396k. Mokka is R310k - R361k. Cactus is R249k - R314k. 500X is R279k - R347k... Ou Boerie prefers to compare it to a vehicle that starts at R722k.
 
I've just glanced at news items.
It appears to be sourced from Turkey!
Do they have better roll offs than India?
Not stirring, just asking.

What other vehicles are sold in SA that come from Turkey?

Turkey is alright... I heard Obama just pardoned them.

Trolling again? In any part of the world 320k is more than 288k, 310k (for 1.4 turbo), 249k and 279k. But since you can't even understand basic English to realise I wasn't comparing it to a BMW X4, I guess basic maths is also a step too far. Malema is that you? :p

You've got a common sense problem. I very politely disagreed with you. Then you started attacking, instead of debating. You're knowledge of the car industry is seriously lacking, hence all my replies disagreeing with you. I'm not a troll. I'm just someone that knew every car on the road since I was like 4 years old.
 
Not bad Toyota...

"The seven finalists for the 2017 edition of the European Car of the Year awards have been announced.

Some 58 jury members have whittled down the initial list to just seven contenders: the Alfa Romeo Giulia, Citroën C3, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Nissan Micra, Peugeot 3008, Toyota C-HR and Volvo S90/V90.

The overall winner will be revealed at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show on March 6, after each juror has apportioned 25 points among at least five nominees.

In 2016, the Opel Astra took top honours, while 2015 belonged to the Volkswagen Passat, 2014 to the Peugeot 308 and 2013 to the Volkswagen Golf."
