"The cheapest 4-seater car in Vietnam" releases a new version.

Yesterday (June 13th), the Kia Morning, the smallest car with the lowest base price on the Vietnamese market, released its new 2016 version.

Surpassing strong competitors in the affordable segment like the Hyundai Grand i10 and Chevrolet Spark, the Kia Morning, assembled and distributed by Truong Hai, is the cheapest new car on the Vietnamese market (excluding van versions). The 1.0L manual transmission version is priced at only 324 million VND.

To diversify its product portfolio and offer more choices to customers, on June 13th, Truong Hai Auto Corporation officially introduced the new Kia Morning Si 2016 model with a published price of 388 million VND (manual transmission) and 422 million VND (automatic transmission).

The 2016 Kia Morning Si is priced from 388 million VND.

This new version features numerous changes to both the exterior and interior, and is considered to have a more youthful, dynamic, and sporty design.

Compared to the currently available versions, the exterior of the 2016 Kia Morning Si features redesigned front and rear bumpers that are more robust and modern, a refined signature "tiger nose" grille, lens-type fog lights, and redesigned round reverse lights for a more distinctive look.

The interior has undergone many changes aimed at achieving a luxurious feel.

The interior of the 2016 Kia Morning Si is more luxurious with many metallic-painted details, and the gear shift knob trim is finished in a sleek, glossy black.

The 2016 Kia Morning Si is equipped with a 1.25L, 4-cylinder, DOHC engine producing a maximum power of 86 hp/6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 120 Nm/4,000 rpm, ensuring powerful and durable performance while being fuel-efficient. The car is available with a choice of a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Officially launched in Vietnam in 2007, the Kia Morning, with its compact design, versatility, fuel efficiency, and reasonable price, quickly became the best-selling small car in the Vietnamese market. Currently, cumulative sales of the Kia Morning have reached over 22,000 units.

After numerous updates, the Morning remains one of Kia's flagship models, consistently achieving top sales figures in the Vietnamese market, averaging 600 units per month.
