 |

The design of the Honda Vision is said to be inherited from the SH line, featuring clear and seamless lines harmoniously combined with a youthful and fashionable style.
In the Standard, Deluxe, and Special editions, the vehicle’s weight does not exceed 95 kg, while the seat height is only 761 mm.
The Honda Vision is equipped with a 110 cc eSP engine with a fuel consumption of only 1.85 liters/100 km according to information released by the manufacturer.
In the new generation, the Honda Vision has a charging port in the storage compartment at the front instead of in the trunk under the seat as in the previous version. In addition, the 15.8-liter trunk capacity is quite spacious for women to store many necessary items or daily necessities.
However, the downside of the Honda Vision is its price, as this model is often sold at a premium at dealerships. According to the latest survey, the actual price of the Honda Vision ranges from VND 33,390,000 to VND 39,990,000, excluding on-road costs.

Similar to the Vision, the design of the Yamaha Janus is highly regarded as suitable for women due to its soft, graceful, and somewhat feminine lines.
Compared to the Vision, the Yamaha Janus has a slightly higher seat height of 769 mm. However, this scooter model has the advantage of ground clearance (135 mm compared to 120 mm). The Yamaha Janus has a wet weight (the weight of the vehicle when fully fueled and oiled) of 99 kg.

Due to its weight of 120 kg, the Liberty One’s gasoline engine has a relatively high fuel consumption of 2.5 liters/100 km when operating on a mixed road cycle.

The VinFast Klara S electric scooter features an elegant and soft design, making it quite suitable for the style of most Vietnamese women.

However, a point to consider for the Klara S is the cost related to the battery. If you choose to purchase the battery, customers must pay an additional VND 19,900,000 at the time of vehicle purchase. Alternatively, if you decide to rent the battery, the monthly fee is VND 350,000.
Currently, VinFast has deployed numerous charging stations for scooters and automobiles nationwide. Therefore, users do not have to worry about recharging their vehicles when choosing to purchase the Klara S or any other electric model from VinFast.
