A series of new high-chassis vehicle models were introduced to Vietnamese consumers in September, including 5-seat and 7-seat cars and pickup trucks.
Ford Territory Sport
In early September, Ford Territory added a Sport version priced at 909 million VND. Territory Sport is positioned above the Trend and Titanium versions and below the highest version, Titanium X.
The noticeable difference between Territory Sport and the remaining versions is many glossy black painted exterior details such as fog lamp bezels, headlight bezels, rearview mirror bezels, radiator grille, glass bezels, roof racks and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The interior is predominantly black, with white leather and orange stitching. The gearshift area is finished in matte carbon instead of glossy black.
The 5-seat high-chassis vehicle still uses a 1.5L turbocharged engine, 160 horsepower, 248Nm torque, 7-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
Hyundai Santa Fe 2024
Launched on September 18, the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe belongs to the all-new 5th generation, with 5 versions with prices ranging from 1.069 - 1.365 billion VND, an increase of 40 - 100 million VND compared to the old version.
The car has a classic boxy design, with increased dimensions in both length and wheelbase. The drag coefficient is only equal to that of a sedan.
The interior design of the 2024 Santa Fe is modeled after a giant H-shape, with the highlight being the digital dashboard cluster and 12.3-inch central touch screen.
The car has many amenities such as 12 Bose speakers with separate amplifier, HUD windshield display, electric seats with 2-position memory, double sunroof...
The new Santa Fe no longer has a hybrid diesel engine option, instead it has a new Smartstream 2.5L gasoline engine with 194 horsepower, 246Nm torque, and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The highest version uses a 2.5L turbocharged gasoline engine with 281 horsepower and 422Nm. The gearbox is an 8-speed wet dual-clutch type.
Mitsubishi Triton 2024
Another high-chassis vehicle model also launched in September is the new generation of the Mitsubishi Triton pickup truck line, with 3 versions priced from 655 - 924 million VND.
The design of the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton has been completely changed, following a more aggressive and sporty style. The overall size has increased significantly with a wheelbase of up to 3,130mm.
The interior of the 2024 Triton is more modern and has an SUV feel with many amenities such as an 8-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, a 7-inch digital dashboard, a 9-inch touch screen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay, and automatic 2-zone air conditioning...
With upgrades to the cargo box, chassis, suspension and engine, the 2024 Triton aims to meet the needs of a wider range of customers, from daily commuting in the city to transporting goods for businesses.
The car uses a new 2.4L twin-turbo diesel engine, 201 horsepower and 470Nm of torque, with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Super Select 4WD-II two-wheel drive system continues to be equipped with 4 drive modes, rear differential lock and 7 operating modes.
