5 luxury scooters worth hundreds of millions of dong

Priced from over 100 to 300 million VND, high-end scooters from Honda, Piaggio, and Peugeot are "picky" but not without buyers.

Most customers looking to buy a high-end scooter today want a luxury vehicle, with many modern technologies and personalization. It is worth mentioning that money becomes a small factor, because when owning a high-end scooter, consumers do not follow the crowd, they will care about satisfaction.

Below are 5 'luxury' scooters priced at hundreds of millions of dong currently being sold in Vietnam.

Vespa 946 - 340 million VND

Vespa 946 was officially launched in Vietnam in 2013. After that, Piaggio Vietnam also brought many different versions of this super scooter model with prices starting from 340 million VND.

The Vespa 946 has soft lines shaped from the original MP6 version of 1945, with the wasp shape being the main theme of all Vespas. The most prominent feature in the design of the Vespa 946 is the rear body leaning forward, the sloping saddle and the tail that is raised like a wasp's tail.

Piaggio has developed a new 4-stroke, single-cylinder, 3-valve engine and equipped it on the Vespa 946. According to Piaggio, this generation of engines offers better fuel efficiency and reduces emissions and noise.

Peugeot Satelis RS 400 - 280 million VND

In 2016, the French brand announced its return to the Vietnamese market for scooters after 60 years. The three models introduced include Django 125cc, CityStar RS 125cc and Satelis RS 400cc. Of which, Satelis RS 400cc is the most expensive and high-end model.

Satelis RS 400cc has a rugged appearance with front light design with LED daytime lights, large saddle for long-distance travel.
This model has a single-cylinder LFE engine with 4 valves, 27.4 kW (36.7 horsepower) at 7,250 rpm, ABS braking system with two 260 mm diameter disc brakes on the front wheel and a single 240 mm disc brake on the rear. The price for the Satelis RS 400cc is 280 million VND.

Honda SH 300i - 248 million VND

Honda Vietnam officially launched the high-end scooter SH300i imported from Italy at the end of last year. This is a new step by Honda Vietnam in expanding its product portfolio to further meet consumer demand.

On the outside, the front and rear lights are modern LED but still based on the traditional light design of the models in the SH family. The SH300i 2016 has a smart key that can activate and start the engine when the key is in your pocket.

The highlight that makes the SH300i different from its younger siblings in the SH family is the powerful 279cc, single-cylinder, water-cooled engine with Honda's PMG FI electronic fuel injection technology. This engine can produce 25.2 horsepower and a maximum torque of 25.5 Nm. The vehicle's fuel consumption is about 33.3 km/L.

Honda Vietnam aims to sell 400 SH300i vehicles from 2017.

Piaggio Beverly 125 ie - 120 million VND

Introduced to Vietnam since 2010 with a selling price of 143 million VND, Piaggio Beverly has not really attracted consumers like Honda SH. Therefore, this name seems to have "disappeared" in the minds of Vietnamese consumers. Recently, people saw this model appear again on Piaggio's price list.

Piaggio Beverly is a mid-size scooter with a sporty design, flexible operation, high reliability and safety.

The vehicle is equipped with a 4-stroke, 125cc engine, 11kW capacity, 12.5Nm torque, equipped with an electronic fuel injection system that significantly reduces fuel consumption (-20%) and maintenance costs (-20%). In addition, the electronically controlled liquid cooling system (ECS) also contributes to reducing fuel consumption.

Vespa GTS 300 - 120 million VND

The Vespa GTS 300 ABS 2017 was available at Piaggio Vietnam showrooms in July this year with a selling price of 120 million VND. This price is only about half of the Honda Sh300i (248 million VND). Being assembled domestically is an important factor that makes the selling price of the GTS 300 extremely competitive compared to the completely imported SH300i.

The vehicle has a length of 1,950 mm and a width of 740 mm. The unladen weight is 160 kg and the fuel tank capacity is about 9 liters. The front suspension system is a single shock absorber combined with a telescopic spring, the rear is a double-effect shock absorber with a 4-position adjustable telescopic spring. The front windshield and the rear chrome-plated metal luggage rack are both optional. Convenient USB charging port. Integrated LED positioning lights with turn signals, the mask has an additional chrome-plated metal border.

Vespa GTS 300 ABS is a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, 4-valve, electronic fuel injection engine with a cylinder capacity of 278.3cc for a maximum capacity of 15.6 Kw at 7,750 rpm, maximum torque of 22 Nm at 5,000 rpm.
