Honda HR-V sale increases despite the general segment decline – January 2022

26 Feb 2022

Sales decline is the general situation of the Vietnamese auto market in January 2022, including the B-segment crossovers. Therefore, Honda HR-V has become the only highlight with growth in this month.

January 2022 ended with the rise of the Honda HR-V when it was the only model to record sales growth in the B-segment crossover. However, this only helped HR-V surpassing Ford Ecosport while the top 3 positions still belong to familiar names of Toyota Corolla Cross, KIA Seltos, and Hyundai Kona.

Below are some of the current sales of B-class crossovers in January 2022.

 

Toyota Corolla Cross: 1,715 units

Toyota Corolla Cross tiếp tục toả sáng với vị trí dẫn đầu.

After 3 consecutive months of increasing sales, Toyota Corolla Cross had a bad start to the year with only 1,715 units sold, down by 2,715 from last month. This is the general trend of the whole market, so the decrease in sales of Toyota Corolla Cross is not too surprising. Unexpectedly, however, Toyota’s most popular car model suffered a steep drop. Despite so, the model is still firmly at the top of the B-segment crossover segment in Vietnam.

Toyota Corolla Cross is a rather undersized car when its size is hovering between the B and C segments. In return, this model attracts Vietnamese customers thanks to its modern design, attractive equipment and affordable price. Specifically, Corolla Cross is distributed in Vietnam under 3 versions G, V, HV with listed prices of 720 million VND, 820 million VND, and 910 million VND, respectively.

Toyota Corolla Cross in Vietnam has 2 engine options. The 1.8 G and 1.8 V versions are equipped with an internal combustion engine, 1.8L in capacity, combined with a CVT-I, producing a maximum capacity of 140 horsepower and maximum torque of 172 Nm.

Next is the hybrid system on the 1.8 HV version, including a 4-cylinder petrol engine, 1.8L in capacity, outputting 97 horsepower and a max torque of 142 Nm. Available is an e-CVT gearbox and electric motor with a maximum capacity of 72 horsepower and maximum torque of 163 Nm. As a result, the 1.8 HV version has the ability to operate smoothly and save fuel, especially when moving in urban areas.

 

KIA Seltos: 1,450 vehicles

Like the Toyota Corolla Cross, the Korean model KIA Seltos also sold only 1,450 units, downed by 895 units from the previous month. However, KIA Seltos continues to hold the 2nd position of the segment. In addition to the cause of the general downtrend of the market, KIA Seltos also encountered a shortage at dealers. Some of which could not guarantee car delivery before May 31, 2022, so that customers can enjoy a 50% discount on the registration fee. In addition, KIA Seltos was also recently announced to increase the selling price by 5 million VND.

Kia Seltos in Vietnam uses a 1.4L Kappa engine, for a maximum capacity of 138 horsepower and maximum torque of 242 Nm. The power of the engine is transmitted to the front wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car has 3 driving modes: Eco, Normal and Sport.

The safety features of Kia Seltos are considered quite enough such as ABS, BA brake force support, EBD electronic brake force distribution, electronic balance, body control, hillside ignition assist, reverse camera, 2-6 airbags, electronic parking brake, and rear parking sensor.

The selling price of KIA Seltos is currently in the range of VND 615 – 739 million.

 

Hyundai Kona: 504 cars

In the first month of 2022, Hyundai Kona sold only 504 cars, down by 193 cars compared to December 2021. Thus, it can be seen that Hyundai Kona is gradually losing steam in the sales race. Although still stable at the 3rd position in the segment, Hyundai Kona is being far behind “compatriot” Kia Seltos with nearly 3 times lower sales. The reason is said to be that in the B-SUV segment, there are now too many options for Vietnamese customers, so Hyundai Kona gradually loses its attractiveness.

Hyundai Kona has 2 engine options. The first is a Nu 2.0 Atkinson petrol engine, with a maximum capacity of 145 horsepower and maximum torque of 180 Nm, combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The second is the Gamma 1.6 T-GDI turbocharged engine, producing a maximum capacity of 175 horsepower and maximum torque of 265 Nm. Power is transmitted to the wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Hyundai Kona in Vietnam has 3 versions with prices from 636 to 750 million VND.

 

Honda HR-V: 247 vehicles

Honda HR-V is perhaps a rare bright spot in the B-segment crossover segment when it is the only model with sales growth in January 2022. Specifically, Honda HR-V sold 247 units, an increase of 88 units compared to December 2021. However, based on the business results of the previous months, it can be seen that the Honda HR-V is rather unstable in terms of sales because the selling price is still quite high, and their supply is not active.

Honda HR-V owns a quite spacious but somewhat simple interior space. The car is equipped with a series of amenities such as a 7-inch touch screen, cruise control, touch-control automatic air conditioning system, electronic brake, automatic temporary brake hold, … In addition, the car is also equipped with Magic Seat seats. Higher-end versions will have a Panorama sunroof.

Honda HR-V has only one engine, a 1.8L in-line 4-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine, producing a maximum capacity of 141 horsepower and maximum torque of 172 Nm.

The suggested price of the Honda HR-V ranges from 786 – 871 million VND.

 

Mazda CX-3: 208 cars

Mazda CX-3 is also one of those that decreased in sales in January when only 208 vehicles were sold, 110 vehicles less than in the previous month. With the expectation of better sales growth in 2022, Mazda CX-3 currently has an attractive incentive program. Specifically, Mazda CX-3 is offered 27 million VND for the Deluxe version, 29 million VND for the Luxury, and 31 million VND for the Premium version.

In Vietnam, Mazda CX-3 is distributed under 3 versions including Deluxe, Luxury, and Premium with some differences in comfort and safety.

The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sport mode and front-wheel drive.

Mazda CX-3 has i-Activesense safety technology package with features such as blind spot warning, rear collision warning, driver attention reminder…

The selling price of Mazda CX-3 in Vietnam ranges from 639 to 719 million VND.

Similar to Mazda CX-3, Mazda CX-30 also recorded a decrease of 110 vehicles and sold only 104 vehicles in January 2022. Despite enjoying a preferential program of 42 million VND for the Luxury version, and 45 million VND for the Premium version. Mazda CX-30 is still lost to the strong growth of Toyota Corolla Cross and KIA Seltos.

Mazda CX-30 is equipped with a naturally aspirated SkyActiv-G 2.0 gasoline engine, producing a maximum capacity of 153 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 200 Nm at 4,000 rpm. Combined with the engine is a front-wheel drive system and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Ford Ecosport: 87 cars

After December 2021 prospered with the 4th position in the segment, Ford Ecosport fell to the bottom position when selling only 87 cars, downed by 248. This is a rather surprising result because EcoSport has lost its position so quickly despite having 50% of the registration fee for locally assembled cars and a stable supply from the Ford Hai Duong factory.

Ford EcoSport is equipped with 2 different engine versions. The first is a turbocharged EcoBoost petrol engine, 1.0L capacity, producing a maximum capacity of 125 horsepower and maximum torque of 170 Nm.

The engine is combined with a new 6-speed hydraulic automatic transmission and uses Ti-VCT dual variable valve technology to help save fuel.

Safety equipment on Ford EcoSport includes ABS, EBD electronic brake force distribution system, ESC, hill-start assist, 7 airbags, anti-theft and reverse camera.

The selling price of Ford Ecosport ranges from 603 to 686 million VND.

 

Conclusion

The B-segment crossover segment in Vietnam had a sharp decline in January 2022. One highlight is Honda HR-V’s positive growth. In the upcoming months, other models in this segment are expected to return to desirable sales.
