Hyundai 'opens' car price cuts in Vietnam before Tet
Manufacturer and distributor Hyundai Thanh Cong has begun applying retail price reductions to a series of car models that are quite popular on the market.

| SantaFe is Hyundai’s best-selling SUV model in the Vietnamese market. According to statistics, by the end of October, the number of SantaFe cars delivered to consumers in 2016 reached more than 4,000 units. |
This is considered a year-end consumer stimulus move by the Korean auto brand. Accordingly, Hyundai Thanh Cong became the earliest car company to launch year-end promotional programs.
Specifically, in this stimulus period, consumers who buy Accent and i20 Active models during December 2016 will enjoy a preferential retail price of 20 million VND. The retail price of Grand i10 and H100 models will also be reduced to 10 million VND.
For the three models SantaFe, Tucson and Elantra, consumers who purchase at Hyundai Thanh Cong distribution system during the period from December 1-31, 2016 will receive a gift of an iPhone 7 Plus 256Gb worth 30 million VND.
SantaFe is Hyundai’s best-selling SUV model in the Vietnamese market. According to statistics, by the end of October, the number of SantaFe cars delivered to consumers in 2016 reached more than 4,000 units.
The car model assembled domestically by Hyundai Thanh Cong has a modern and strong exterior with the "Storm Edge" design language, HID lighting system, 19-inch alloy wheels. The car stands out with modern and rich equipment such as panoramic sunroof, Drive Mode technology with 3 driving modes, electronic handbrake, 8-inch AVN screen with integrated Vietnam map.
The "heart" of SantaFe is the 2.4L Theta II gasoline engine or the 2.2L CRDi R Diesel engine with 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive, accompanied by a 6-airbag safety system and advanced safety technologies such as ABS, ESC, BA, VSM, EBD, DBC, HAC, TCS...
The Tucson crossover model is also one of Hyundai's most successful names in the global market as well as in Vietnam. If the "senior" SantaFe has a stormy design, the 2016 Tucson version introduced in Vietnam since August 2015 is inspired by "flowing sculpture 2.0" with a characteristic chrome-plated hexagonal grille, a lighting system with dual LED bulbs combined with a modern European-style LED daytime running light strip.
The car stands out with high-end equipment such as electronic handbrake, Autohold, DriveMode 3 driving modes, panoramic sunroof, high-class leather seats. The car uses a powerful Nu 2.0L engine with a safety system of 6 airbags and high-end safety technologies such as ABS, ESC, BA, VSM, EBD, DBC, HAC, TCS...
Elantra 2016 is a C-class sedan that was just introduced by Hyundai Thanh Cong in July 2016. Immediately after its launch, Elantra quickly achieved sales of more than 1,000 units.
The new generation Elantra has a modern design inspired by “fluidic sculpture 2.0” and a 4-door sports coupe style with the lowest drag coefficient in the segment of only 0.27Cd. Outstanding technologies on the 2016 Elantra include Drive Mode 3 driving modes, 7-inch AVN touch screen, tire pressure sensor, PAS parking assistance system with 8 front and rear sensors and a rear camera.
The car is equipped with a Nu 2.0L or Gamma II 1.6L engine, along with a safety system of 6 airbags and advanced safety technologies such as ABS, ESC, BA, VSM, HAC...
The Vietnamese automobile market in 2016 witnessed a strong boom in sales when sales records were set by many car manufacturers every month. Notably, at the end of the year until before Tet, car purchasing power always increases sharply due to consumers' demand for owning cars. This is also the period when car manufacturers often focus on introducing many new car models to the market.
This year, car manufacturers in Vietnam launched their stimulus programs quite late. It is likely that after the "opening shot" of Hyundai Thanh Cong, many other car manufacturers will also simultaneously apply year-end incentive programs.
