2012 Euro 5 spec and price increase

triple_(ooo) · Nov 20, 2011

Hi all

Just a tip. 2012 UK D40 Tekna to loose Sunroof, Paoer passenger seat & lumbar support. Aprox £750 price increase and all will have DPF. Economy roughly the same. New Radio units

Is that power passenger seat? Is it losing lumbar support from driver seat or passenger seat?

If the new Navara loses the lumbar support, I'll be getting a different truck. When I was picking my first truck, I test drove the L200, Ranger, and Hilux. The last one I tried was the Navara, and when I sat into it I immediately said "This is for me". I've mentioned on here a few times that if I drive anything other than my truck, I get a tired/sore back.

I'll miss the sunroof too. I love to drive with the sunroof open, even down to 0°C (I just crank the heat up).

Why, oh why do vehicle manufacturers take steps backwards?

Cost cutting, why give it for free when you will pay? It goes back to when things stopped coming with scart leeds.

I don't use my sunroof that much, but i prefer to have one included especially on a range topping model. Maybe they're trying to make a few bob before a whole new model is released complete with sunroof, lumbar support etc?

If they are available as an optional extra, then fine, at least it's available. I'm used to that because here, you pay for EVERYTHING extra. For example, for the same price as I paid for my UK spec Tekna Connect, including the €4700 to register it :roll: , you get what is basically an Acenta with cruise control. No leather, no heated seats, no electrically adjustable seats, no auto lamps or wipers. For a similar spec to the Tekna, you would be paying at least €10k more.

As you said, on a range topping model, however, I expect it to be all in.

Are you still looking out for me a white V6 ?

I dont even think Australia gets the option of a sunroof.

We'll get screwed over like always.

I suppose you never really get much sun to make use of a sunroof in Australia :roll:

Do you like being baked from above? I'd never buy a sunroof for a climate with strong sun. It's hard enough to keep the heat out without glass above you.

Personally I dont like sunroofs but to lose the lumber support (i wish I had one) I think is just downright greedy on there behalf. I bet that cuts sales.

The option's use get would be nice though.

Even if we choose not to get them.
