Imported cars priced under 600 million VND are about to hit the market?
Decree 116 on car imports is gradually being relaxed and tax-free car models from ASEAN are about to arrive in Vietnam. Let's take a look at 7 imported car models priced under 600 million VND from ASEAN.
Currently, only Honda Jazz is the first imported car model to arrive in Vietnam and announce the new car price applying the 0% import tax. The remaining car models have not announced the new selling price. This means that when applying 0% tax, the car price will be significantly reduced compared to the current level when applying 30% tax and bring more opportunities to own a car for Vietnamese customers.
Suzuki Celerio - Price from 359 million VND
 |
Suzuki Celerio 2018 was first introduced to Vietnamese customers at the Vietnam Auto Show in 2017. The car model imported from Thailand started selling in our country from the beginning of 2018 with a price of 359 million VND for the automatic version. The rookie Celerio will compete with a series of famous veterans such as Kia Morning or "sales king" Hyundai Grand i10.
The engine of Suzuki Celerio 2018 is a 1.0L 3-cylinder multi-point fuel injection type for a capacity of 67 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and torque of 90 Nm at 3,500 rpm. CVT automatic transmission.
Toyota Wigo - Official price not announced yet

In addition to Celerio, the A-class hatchback segment is eagerly awaiting the name from the Japanese brand - Toyota Wigo. Perhaps, this is the only segment in Vietnam that records the dominance of Korean cars with Hyundai Grand i10 and Kia Morning.
After many missed deadlines due to Decree 116, Toyota Fortuner and Wigo have received type approval and are expected to deliver cars to customers in the second quarter. Although the official selling price has not been announced, dealers have received orders for the Indonesian imported car model with prices starting from 300 million VND.

Another imported car option for Vietnamese customers under 600 million VND comes from Mitsubishi.

In 2016, Suzuki Ciaz was introduced at the VMS exhibition and went on sale immediately after with a price of 580 million VND. After the latest price adjustment, the price of Ciaz dropped to 565 million VND. It seems that Suzuki has chosen a thorny path for itself in Vietnam. If Celerio has to face the best-selling car model in our country, Hyundai Grand i10, Ciaz has to face the best-selling sedan model of VAMA - Toyota Vios.
Suzuki Ciaz uses a 4-cylinder, 16-valve, 1.4L engine for 91 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. 4-speed automatic transmission.
Toyota Yaris - Price from 592 - 642 million VND

Toyota Yaris has been on sale in the Vietnamese market for quite a while, while the 2018 upgraded version has been available in many Southeast Asian markets. That is why Vietnamese customers expect the fully imported car from Thailand - the upgraded Toyota Yaris 2018 to arrive in Vietnam soon with a softer price.
Toyota equips the current Yaris version in the Vietnamese market with a 2 NR-FE engine, 4 inline cylinders, 16 DOHC valves, dual VTT-i 1.5L for a capacity of 107 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and torque of 140 Nm at 4,200 rpm. Continuously variable transmission with 7 virtual levels.

The B-class hatchback segment in Vietnam has just welcomed a new member named Honda Jazz. This is also the only model in this list that has announced a new selling price when applying 0% import tax up to the present time. Honda Jazz 2018 imported from Thailand is expected to "make a big splash" in the Vietnamese automobile market in 2018 thanks to its competitive price and many other valuable plus points from design, amenities to engine and safety.
All three versions of Honda V, VX and RS use the same 1.5L i-VTEC SOHC 4-cylinder engine producing 118 horsepower at 6,600 rpm, torque of 145 Nm at 4,600 rpm. The CVT automatic transmission uses Earth Dreams Technology to save fuel. The price of Honda Jazz ranges from 539-619 million VND.
