Why is 5 door £1000 cheaper than Coupe? - M30 EVO - 04-08-2011 11:03am
As per the title........
Where's the logic in 2 more doors costing £1000 less....??!

I wish I knew!
Have not heard a logical explanation other than JLR wanting an even bigger profit margin on the car.
I am about to order and I want the 3 door but it really leaves a bad taste to have to pay £1k more!

It's supposed to look cooler, that's all.
You didn't think production cost defines the selling price, did you?

It's the same with the coupe version of any car - prettier body + less practicality = more expensive!

Because fools are prepared to pay it?

hmmmm....... that currently puts me into the 'fool' category.....
from the photos i've seen I am warming to the 5 door....... just need to see both in the flesh first!

The 5 doors got nothing on the coupe in the looks department - FACT. I'd rather have a pure coupe than a 5 door dynamic any day!

I will admit Im only getting a 5 door because its a little cheaper, the evoque was already at the top of my realistic car budjet so saving that £1000 was an easy choice. Im sure the little bit extra practicality will be useful.

I'm starting to think the same myself..... £500 for contrast roof and £500 in my pocket.....

M30, IMHO having the Panoramic roof and the Contrast roof is throwing away money for the sake of a couple of inches width of black paint round the roof edges! Mind you if I had specced Firenze Red I would have gone for a White contrast roof and the panoramic and then looked for a set of white finished alloys....................
