7 notable car models under 300 million in Vietnam

(Baonghean.vn) - In the low-cost car segment, although there are not many brands priced above or below 300 million, they attract attention because of their affordable prices. Below are 7 car models worth buying in this price range for customers who want to buy a car while their wallet is not too abundant.

Kia Morning 1.0MT (327 million VND)

Kia Morning is always the most attractive name in the segment because of its cheap price and beautiful design. The basic version Morning 1.0MT has a listed price of 327 million VND in Vietnam.

Kia Morning is 3,595 mm long, 1,595 mm wide and 1,490 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,385 mm. The car uses a 1-liter I3 engine with a maximum capacity of 66 horsepower and a torque of 94 Nm. 5-speed manual transmission.

Kia Morning has a beautiful design and is fuel efficient.

Pros: Sleek design, fuel efficient. Weighing only 940 kg, the car isn't too weak. Driving on the highway at 100 km/h still feels quite solid, without swaying.

Disadvantages: Soundproofing is very poor when driving on highways or bad roads. This is a common disadvantage of A-class cars because of the thin doors and body. The overall size is smaller than the Grand i10, so the interior space is also more cramped. The rear seats are upright, making long trips very tiring.

Chevrolet Spark LS (VND 333 million)

The Chevrolet Spark LS is the lowest version of the Spark line. The car is listed at 333 million VND. The overall dimensions of this model are 3,595 mm long, 1,597 mm wide and 1,522 mm high. The wheelbase is 2,375 mm.

The car uses a 1.0 liter I3 engine, 67 horsepower and 89 Nm torque. 5-speed manual transmission.

The Spark's dated styling is a drawback compared to its rivals.

Advantages: This model has a low price, comparable to its competitor Kia Morning and cheaper than Hyundai Grand i10. The car is fuel-efficient, only about 4-5 liters/100 km.

Disadvantages: Weak engine, only 68 horsepower but weighs up to 1 ton. The car's design is outdated, not as eye-catching as the Kia Morning and Hyundai Grand i10. The engine is quite noisy, especially when operating on the highway. In addition, like other Chevrolet models, the Spark loses a lot of value when resold.

Grand i10 1.0 Base (VND 359 million)

The Grand i10 has a larger overall size than its two competitors Morning and Spark. The overall length of the car is 3,765, 1,660 and 1,520 mm high. The wheelbase is 2,425 mm.

The base version uses a 1.0-liter Kappa gasoline engine, 3-cylinder inline, maximum capacity of 66 horsepower and torque of 96 Nm. Combined with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Grand i10 has larger overall dimensions than its two competitors Morning and Spark.

Advantages: The car has the most spacious and comfortable dimensions in the segment. Beautiful, balanced design thanks to the "fluidic sculpture" design language applied to Hyundai products.

Inside, the cabin is spacious and has a sophisticated design. The storage compartments are convenient and the rear seat reclines more thanks to the long wheelbase.

The notable point of this model is its imported origin, while the two rival models are assembled domestically.

Disadvantages: Due to the slightly curved design, tall people sitting in the back will feel like their heads are hitting the ceiling. The thin body shell makes the sound insulation quite poor. The car's weight is also the lightest in the segment, making it unsafe to drive fast.

Kia Picanto 2017 (VND 241 million)

Earlier this year, Kia released the first photos of the 2017 Picanto compact city car (Kia Morning in Vietnam). Recently, the company continued to announce detailed specifications and prices of this car. The new Picanto costs about 8,500 pounds (241 million VND). Comes with a 7-year or 160,000 km warranty. This model is a direct competitor of Skoda Citigo, Hyundai i10 and Ford Ka +. The car started selling from May this year.

Chevrolet Spark Van (279 million)

Since GM replaced the Matiz model that once made waves with Spark Van, the number of fans of this model has been increasing steadily. With only 279 million (price not yet reduced), you can own a 100% new manual transmission Van model from Chevrolet.

With a 1.2L engine and fuel economy, Spark Duo easily moves in the city.

It's surprising that the American car line is famous for its strong models like Chevrolet Colorado but the pickup truck line is once again downsized and recreated in Spark Van. With a 1.2L engine and fuel economy, Spark Duo with the alternative name is extremely powerful with a compact design that is easy to move on the street.

Comparing American cars with Chinese cars is really lame when Lifan can be said to be "short-lived" when the quality is far inferior to American cars. Improved from Chevrolet Spark by removing the 2 rear seats, Spark Van brings a new style to the car market, suitable for those who often have to transport goods for business. Because the price of Chevrolet Colorado is much higher than the average price of pickup trucks, choosing a small 2-seater car like Spark Van is only 1/3 compared to Colorado.

Kia Morning Van (280 million)

Also a cheap 2-seater car like Spark Van, Kia Morning Van is not much different in appearance, however, the Van from Korea has many details that create a more modern highlight. Unlike Spark Van, Kia Morning Van has gone through many different versions from 2011 - 2016 but the design has not changed much because most users accept its outstanding exterior.

Kia Morning Van is fully equipped with ABS brakes and 2 front airbags to provide maximum safety for the driver.

With a price of only about 300 million for the 2014 imported car, you already own a powerful 1.0 engine. Although the engine is a little lower than the Spark Van, the performance is not inferior. In addition, the imported car is also fully equipped with ABS brakes and 2 front airbags to help protect the driver's safety.

Hyundai Eon 0.8MT 2015 (296 million VND)

Hyundai Eon 0.8MT 2015 is a hatchback imported completely from Hyundai India.

Next on the list of cheap cars in the Vietnamese market is the Hyundai Eon 0.8 MT 2015. This is a hatchback imported from Hyundai India. The car uses a 0.8 liter engine, manual transmission, driver's side airbag, electric mirrors, felt cushions, USB, Ipod, AUX ports.

Meanwhile, inheriting the design style of Hyundai cars, Eon 0.8MT 2015, although small, has sharp lines, with strong embossed lines creating a personality and strength for the car; the car has a selling price of only 296 million VND. With this price of Hyundai Eon 0.8 MT 2015, Eon 0.8MT 2015 will be a good candidate in the car buying plan of those with moderate budget./.
