Car Sales Data (2014)

[niky]

why kaya hindi release ng toyota ang harrier sa pinas? may nakita ako sa ibang bansa, bagong labas na harrier i was like toyota yun? kala ko lexus or honda at first. quickly googled and see the price is almost cheaper or on par with fortuner.

Won't be the same when it gets here.

I don't know how many times I'll have to say this... but again... much of local prices are tax. There's sales tax, ad valorem, VAT... even if the Fortuner is made within the ASEAN Free Trade zone, it still gets slapped with taxes. Around 15-20%, I believe.

The Harrier is basically a plus sized RAV4, made in Japan.

The RAV4 already costs 50-100k more than the Fortuner.

A Harrier would likely cost 100-150k more than the RAV4.

Pointless to sell it here. Especially since people who want a midsized truck between the RAV4/Fort and the Prado can get the FJ Cruiser... which is selling like hotcakes and gets extra JPEPA tax breaks because it has a 4.0, while the Harrier has a smaller engine that doesn't qualify for those tax breaks.
