Top old sedan cars with "few problems" under 500 million

In the context of increasing new car prices, many Vietnamese consumers are turning to used sedans to optimize costs while still ensuring daily travel needs. Here are 5 notable used sedans in the C-segment priced around 500 million VND.

Hyundai Elantra 2.0 AT 2021

Although not the latest version, the 2021 Hyundai Elantra sedan in Vietnam still retains a balanced and elegant design style. The 2.0 AT version, which belongs to the upper mid-range range, is currently on sale for around 470 - 490 million VND.

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra sedan is equipped with many modern amenities such as front/rear LED lights, automatic headlights and wipers, sunroof, electric driver's seat, dual-zone air conditioning and leather interior.

In terms of operation, the Elantra uses a 2.0L gasoline engine with a capacity of 156 horsepower, a 6-speed automatic transmission. Although fuel consumption is higher than competitors using small-capacity engines, the Elantra is still considered "healthy" and has few minor problems - an important factor for used car buyers.

Mazda3 1.5L Deluxe 2020

Mazda3 Deluxe 2020 in Vietnam is the standard version in Mazda's new generation product line, priced on the used car market from 485 - 495 million VND. This is a reasonable choice for those who prioritize a good driving experience and modern design.

The car is equipped with LED lights, rain sensor wipers and automatic light system. However, the interior is only covered with felt, has manual air conditioning and no rear air vents – an obvious weakness of this version.

The Mazda3 uses a 1.5L engine with 110 horsepower, combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Although not powerful, this model stands out for its stability and solid driving feel - suitable for those who prefer cars with "durable appearance and durable engine".

Kia Cerato 2.0 AT Premium 2019

The highest-end version of the 2019 Kia Cerato – 2.0 AT Premium – is currently priced from 450 – 480 million VND. The car has a neutral appearance, suitable for both male and female customers.

The equipment on this model is quite complete with automatic air conditioning, leather seats, sunroof, reverse sensor... The interior space is spacious, comfortable for family trips. However, Cerato still uses mechanical handbrake instead of electronic brake - the only minus point in terms of convenience.

Cerato is powered by a 2.0L engine, 159 horsepower and 194 Nm of torque, driving the front wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission. Performance is stable, but the driving feeling is not really solid.

Toyota Corolla Altis 2.0V 2016

Despite being the oldest on the list, the 2016 Toyota Corolla Altis 2.0V sedan is still one of the most popular used sedans thanks to its durability and impressive value retention. In the used car market, this model costs around 470 - 490 million VND.

The Altis 2.0V version is equipped with LED lights, headlight sensors, automatic light adjustment... but the interior design is outdated compared to younger competitors. The car uses a 2.0L engine with a capacity of 143 horsepower, CVT gearbox and front-wheel drive, which is considered stable and has few problems.

However, with a car model that is nearly 10 years old, buyers need to carefully check the condition of the car before "paying". The above old sedan models all meet the basic needs of small families or individuals who often travel in urban areas. Each model has its own strengths, from design, amenities to mechanical durability...
