The Vietnamese pickup truck market welcomes a new contender, the Sandeur S100, with an attractive price point under 500 million VND. While its debut in May didn’t create a major buzz, the Sandeur S100 promises to be a worthwhile option for those seeking a durable and economical affordable pickup truck.
The Sandeur S100 is positioned in the budget-friendly new pickup truck segment, directly competing with rivals in the same price range. This model appeared at an emissions testing center a year before its official launch.
Sandeur S100: Budget Pickup Truck Under $20K
The listed price of the Sandeur S100 is 549 million VND. However, in reality, many dealerships are offering this affordable pickup truck for only 499 million VND, creating significant appeal for consumers.
The Sandeur S100 utilizes the Isuzu D-Max platform, including its 3.0L diesel engine producing 131 horsepower and 280 Nm of torque. The vehicle is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4×4 drivetrain.
Compared to other new pickup truck options on the market, the Sandeur S100’s features are quite basic. The lighting system includes halogen projector headlights and LED daytime running lights. It uses 17-inch 6-spoke wheels. The interior is simple, featuring a monochrome display, a 4-speaker sound system, manual air conditioning, and a conventional key start.
Mitsubishi Triton 2024 and Toyota Hilux 2024: Competitors to the Budget Pickup
While the Sandeur S100 focuses on the budget segment, the new pickup truck market also sees the arrival of the Mitsubishi Triton 2024 and Toyota Hilux 2024 with notable upgrades. The Mitsubishi Triton 2024 has been completely redesigned with a new chassis, larger dimensions, and more modern technology. The Toyota Hilux 2024 has also been slightly upgraded with some changes in design and equipment. However, both of these models are significantly more expensive than the affordable pickup truck Sandeur S100.
Conclusion
The Sandeur S100 is an attractive new pickup truck option for those seeking an affordable, durable vehicle that meets basic transportation needs. With a price under 500 million VND, the Sandeur S100 offers strong competition in the budget pickup truck segment in Vietnam. However, if you need a vehicle with more features and modern technology, the Mitsubishi Triton 2024 and Toyota Hilux 2024 are worthy considerations.
