    Wish Hybrids got some rebates in India like other parts of the world. These cars wouldn’t cost this much if it weren’t for govt. lobbying from Indian car manufacturers. Hybrids are perfects cars for our country that lacks considerable infrastructure for widespread EV adoption.

      And here comes the Taxi and Tax comment.
      Bhai, even XUV 700 has 50% tax. Camry only gets 15% extra being a CKD and that much discount one can get while purchasing Camry.
      As far as being a taxi is concerned, by that logic 95% of cars on Indian roads wont be fit even to be driven as taxis in developed countries you mentioned.
      In many European countries, Audis and Mercs and even Bentleys are driven as taxis.
      Camrys are luxurious and yet very reliable and cheap to maintain. Same goes with Lexus and thats why they are popular as Taxis.
      In India, Dzire and Wagon R are taxis. Now can we compare these with Camry?
      You are comparing foreign taxis in Indian context.
      In US even a car as large as Camry is a 'mid sized' sedan. Honda City if ever sold in US wont even be eligible to be called as a compact sedan. They have huge SUVs which dwarf our Fortuners easily and still come cheap as they dont have our taxes.

    Only way I can think of why Toyota priced it at 48lakh is the way Indian people are mindlessly buying fortuner at twice the price tag that car deserves! Otherwise I don't see any reason for it being 48lakhs.

    Understated and timeless. Wish Corolla makes a comeback too as in the current SUV era, these sedans too have their own audience. The buttons, comfort, style (not a rebadged Maruti), etc. these are the Toyotas we want but won't get. I still remember owning a preowned Corolla and it was effortless with comfort. This is way over my budget and needs hence just wishful thinking!

    It’s so stunning, and contrary to what a lot of people think, I think it’s decently priced

    That was the only car in the Toyota bouquet that represented elegance. By making it sporty, they have killed Camary. not to mention the new price.

    Suvs are inherently compromised in terms of dynamics. They neither handle or ride well. Thank you Toyota for this beauty- will wait 3 years for someone else to pick up the depreciation and then buy one😁

    This car is a better deal than the bmw,merc or audi since maintenance cost of this car very low compared to the others. Plus better mileage
