Rio sedan 1.4 MT: 485 million VND |
Coming to KIA, customers have 2 choices, Kia Morning and Kia Rio sedan MT version.
With a youthfully designed sedan version with a 1.4L engine - 5-speed manual transmission, selling price of 485 million, Kia Rio is still inferior to its younger brother in terms of sales.
Morning does not have a very spacious interior but has the advantages of a compact, flexible, modernly designed urban car. In particular, the upgraded 2016 Si generation with a list of outstanding amenities such as: leather seats, touch screen, GPS navigation... helps the hatchback's name to have an increasingly solid position in the market. In addition, KIA also has a number of models priced under 500 million such as: Morning Ex 1.2 MT: 336 million VND; Morning Lx 1.2 MT: 359 million VND; Morning Si 1.2 MT: 383 million VND; Morning Si 1.2 AT: 411 million VND.

Aveo LT 1.4 MT: 459 million VND |
We can choose both Aveo versions or one of three Spark models from Chevrolet – the American car brand.
Aveo is considered a B-segment sedan under half a billion with the "softest" selling price on the market today. Equipped with a small capacity engine, suitable for first-time car users because of its stable operation and low maintenance costs. The new 2017 Chevrolet Aveo version has also been upgraded in all aspects from the interior to the fuel-efficient engine.
Chevrolet Spark has an advantage over Kia Morning or Hyundai Grand i10 in terms of price, and its exterior design is stronger and more modern than its Asian competitors. It leaves an impression on customers with an affordable car, optimal safety, and a durable, powerful engine that is truly American. Chevrolet also has car models such as Spark Duo LS 1.2 MT: 339 million; Spark Duo LT 1.2 AT: 359 million VND.
