Hi, I’m intending to go for a small crossover as my next car (currently using a 2010 Toyota Belta). Initially thought about going for a brand new zero mileage one and I was started looking at the Toyota Raize, MG ZS, Kia Stonic and Hyundai Venue. I’m planning to use it for next 5 years and my normal usage is around 1000 km per month - generally daily office drive in Colombo and very rarely outstation. Resale value, reliability, maintainability and the condition of the vehicle after 5 years (with the odometer around 70,000 km) are my main concerns. Fuel consumption is not a major issue - if it is doing above 8 kmpl in city limit is sufficient (I guess the MG ZS is doing around that). Rest of the aspects (safely, features etc.) are more or less the same for above 4 vehicles I guess. I have budget up to 6 million, but now planning to invest on a small block of land by saving some cash and minimize the loss on resale due to depreciation considering future expenses. Now I’m further thinking about below 2 options (may be in a dilemma). (1) Go for a 2020 Toyota Raize G grade for around 5.7 mil. (2) Go for a 2019 used MG ZS with around 12,000 km on odometer for around 4.6 mil. What would be the total cost of ownership and the resale value of above 2 after 5 years with around 70,000 km on the odometer? Which one is the most advisable option considering my requirement (resale value after 5 years)? Thank you in advance for your valuable opinion... PS: One of my friends suggested me to stretch my budget a bit and go for a used/ second hand 2017 C-HR. But I personally don’t like that car due to the rear look and lesser space/ leg room/ head room for rear seat passengers and gloomy interior gue to small rear windows.
