2024 has passed 4 months, but many cars manufactured in 2023 (VIN number 2023) are still in stock at dealerships. To clear inventory, dealers are actively running strong incentive programs. Hyundai dealership is one of them.
Specifically, some Hyundai dealers in the Southern region such as Tien Giang or Binh Thuan are applying a preferential program of up to 80 million VND for the mid-range MPV line, Custin. This incentive is almost equivalent to a 100% reduction in registration fee.
In April 2024, Hyundai Thanh Cong is also applying a promotion for the Custin car line. Accordingly, when buying a car, customers will be able to choose one of 2 special incentive packages exclusively for this model. Package 1 incentives interest rate of installment payment from 0% within 12 months (principal grace period up to 9 months depending on each bank). Package 2 is financial support up to 50% of registration fee
It is not surprising that both the manufacturer and dealers have incentive programs for Hyundai Custin in the context of the Vietnamese automobile market being quite gloomy in the first 3 months of 2024. In March 2024, Hyundai Custin sold 284 vehicles, an increase of 123.6% compared to the previous month, and ranked 6th in the MPV segment in Vietnam. Accumulated in the first 3 months of this year, the Korean car model has achieved sales of 655 vehicles.
Compared to its direct rival, Toyota Innova Cross, Hyundai Custin has better sales. The number of cars sold by Toyota in March 2024 was 231 vehicles, and in the first 3 months of this year was 272 vehicles. Unlike Hyundai Custin, Toyota Innova Cross has been in short supply at dealers recently, so sales have been quite low.
Hyundai Custin is still leading Toyota Innova Cross in terms of sales
Launched in Vietnam in September 2023, Hyundai Custin quickly impressed with its design as the MPV version of Tucson, spacious 7-seater interior, diverse amenities, and safety features. The car has 3 versions with prices ranging from 850 – 999 million VND.
With that amount of money, Vietnamese customers will receive an MPV with outstanding features such as LED lighting system, 17 – 18 inch rims, electric sliding door and tailgate, electric front seats/heating/cooling, 10 touch screen.4 inches, 6 speakers, electronic parking brake, double sunroof, sunshades for the rear seats, automatic air conditioning, air conditioning vents, and charging ports for 3 rows of seats.
