The Excise Department of Thailand just released a new policy (by the government)
And that's a good news for Thai people to buy their very first car
Just in time before September ends
Today, let's find out from 3 subcompact sedans with 1.5L, for how this applied
First, it's Honda City, and it's just minor changed
SV AT, 704,000THB
Front: Independent McPherson Struts, ARB Rear: H-shaped Torsion Beam, ARB
The interior somehow newer, especially seaters
5AT with Grade Logic Control, Direct Control, Shift Hold System
Still powered by 1.5 i-VTEC PGM-Fi DBW 120 HP
Maximum power: 88kw@6,600rpm Maximum torque: 145nm@4,800rpm
4 disc brakes for V and SV
And it comes with 100,000THB maximum cash back
Next, Demio Elegance from Mazda, facelifted too
Spirit AT, 640,000THB
Only arrived before the City
Front end surely changed (with a look of 5 door model)
4ABS / EBD / Dual SRS Airbags now for every Demio models
And newer look interior
Console still maintained sporting circular design
Sporting style dual tone cloth seats
Quite more storage space than any other in its class
1,498cc MZR DOHC 16V with S-VT and TSCV 103HP
Maximum power: 76kw@6,000rpm Maximum torque: 135nm@4,000rpm
Front: Independent McPherson Struts, ARB Rear: Semi-Independent Torsion Beam via Trailing Arm
With 100,000THB cash back as well
Both City and Demio Elegance actually displaying just not far away each
Nothing change for this model year of Vios as we know it, but Toyota just added a new Vios choice: CNG powered 1.5J
564,000THB with 100,000THB cash back and CNG advantages if you don't fear...
CNG converted 1NZ-FR VVT-i 4-cyl 1,497cc
Maximum power: 80kw@6,000rpm Maximum torque: 141nm@4,200rpm
70WL CNG tank with Toyota's own stricted standard
Front: McPherson Struts, ARB Rear: Torsion Beam
While Vios is still #1 of B-Segment subcompact sedan in Thailand, Toyota USA just considered to quit the Yaris Sedan
So all these 3 vehicles will give 100,000THB cash back equally
All must be by the terms and conditions by Excise Department of Thailand
The range of cash back of this new policy is between 10,000THB to 100,000THB, and that's actually "Tax Money"
However, this latest policy only applied to 1.5L passenger cars and below
As well as Eco Cars
And yes! Pickups
Double Cab pickups: 57,000THB-100,000THB Non-Double Cab pickups: 10,000THB-26,000THB
So you know if you encountered this...
Don't expect that!
And never forget! This is only for first time vehicle buyers
And all these participated vehicles must be assembled only in Thailand, not imported
