You don't know what is LTA meh? The one collect COE money lah. They are the greatest because COE keep climbing in a pandemic. It is defying gravity. 😁

Sorry still don’t follow what LTA got to do with the safety features, maybe I’m slow 😩

LTA collecting money from all car registration not only YC right? N these days almost all the new cars got these safety features like Avante n even the hybrid Jazz from Kah.

LTA in this context is Lane Tracing Assist.

According to Carbuyer's article, no plans for petrol-only 1.5, only can go to PI for that.

Definitely gonna be a big hit at 101k. Finally Borneo woke up and is on the offensive to gain back market share

I have my doubt a big hit like vezel or qashqai that were gold standard cos it is just too small for only 2 adults behind .. smaller than even fit/jazz but at 100k $.  Cheers.

i compare the AD and PI spec, how come all different? I though it came from same factory? AD spec is much better and cheaper some more. 

Borneo Motor's version is uniquely theirs based on what their mktg believe can sell at what $ ... AD takes whatever versions available in domestic Japan dealer since no chance to ask Toyota themselves. Cheers.

I think 100k is a magic number.

If can go < 100k then is big hit

I could be wrong, my impression is that no more official AD Jazz anymore. Kah supposed to take City and City hatchback.

There will be buyers looking for small MIJ hatch around the 90+k region. If no more Jazz, YCH will be very appealing to them.

4th gen Jazz on pre-launch booking now. 1.5 Petrol and Hybrid. Prices between 96k for Petrol Basic to 101k Luxe eHEV Hybrid. Looks to be targeting Yaris Cross, especially the eHEV Hybrid.

hi guys, just wanna get a sensing if it is worth to go for hybrid. the 15k price tag for a light user like me(prolly only gonna drive after work and weekends), i can pump 8100 Litres of petrol at the current price, and without having to worry the potential electric issues with the car down the years, and i also realise the ARF is low for hybrid vehicles due to VES. so, is hybrid really worth it? 

let s leave out the carbon footprint part lol

The biggest concern is road tax.

Petrol: $680/annum

Hybrid: $696/annum

Just take Hybrid.

You are comparing what to what?

YCH from Borneo to YC from PI?

No comparison because Borneo is official import with proper warranty and high specs.

PI one firstly the warranty is suspect, secondly the price is rubber depending on COE bidding results and also different specs as most PI are less than upfront.

[jacobfff]

you mean hybrid has higher road tax? but anyway the diff is kinda small eh.

agree with you on the above. just curious for the fuel saved on hybrid, is it enough to make up for the extra paid, with light usage

so far ALL toyota hybrids in singapore prior to the 4th gen prius had to change battery at least 1 time within 10years. so there is a risk that the battery will not last. i would think it will be about 3-4k to change the hybrid battery. so factor that into your cost.

the 4th Gen prius seems to be pretty good with the hybrid battery. not sure if this will translate to all other models in toyota line up.have heard of 300k km PHVs with still the orig battery. but then the usage case is different. hybrid battery seems to like to be in constant charge. short trips and infrequent usage seem to deteriorate the hybrid battery faster as in the cases of hybrids prior to Prius Gen4.

I personally find it not worth it if you are not a high usage driver.

You should look at a smaller car like that Attrage or Vios.

You can never "earn" back the 15K price tag if you never drive more to average out the cost.
