Pickup trucks have always been an attractive segment in the Vietnamese market, especially for those looking for a versatile vehicle that can carry both people and goods. In 2019, the question of “cheapest pickup truck” was of great interest. Among countless options, the Kenbo 5-seater van pickup truck emerged as a potential candidate in the budget-friendly pickup truck segment. So, is the Kenbo 5-seater really the cheapest pickup truck of 2019, and is it a good choice? Let’s evaluate this model in detail with Xe Tai My Dinh.
The Kenbo 5-seater van pickup truck appeared on the Vietnamese market around mid-2017, following the success of the Kenbo Van 2-seater version. Immediately, this model attracted great attention thanks to its extremely competitive price. In 2019, when the demand for an affordable, versatile pickup truck was increasing, the Kenbo 5-seater became even more “hot” than ever.
Why is the Kenbo 5-seater called the “cheapest”?
The first and most important factor that makes the Kenbo 5-seater mentioned as one of the “cheapest pickup trucks of 2019” is the price. At that time, the official listed price from the factory for the Kenbo 5-seater pickup truck was only about 235 million VND. This price was really attractive compared to other pickup truck lines on the market, which cost over 300 million VND, or even much higher.

The price difference of up to hundreds of millions of VND has made the Kenbo 5-seater a worthwhile choice for customers with limited budgets. In the context of the 2019 pickup truck market, which mainly consisted of imported or joint venture models with high prices, the appearance of the Kenbo 5-seater was like a breath of fresh air, bringing the opportunity to own a pickup truck to many Vietnamese people.
Unexpected Design and Amenities within the Price Range
Not only is it cheap, but the Kenbo 5-seater also impresses with its quite eye-catching exterior design, not inferior to tourist cars. Many customers have commented that, at first glance, it is difficult to recognize this as a cargo pickup truck. The cabin has a square, modern design, along with a compact size that helps the car move easily in crowded urban areas.
Besides the exterior, the interior of the Kenbo 5-seater is also quite fully equipped with amenities compared to the price. The car is equipped with 2-way air conditioning, electric power steering, electric windows, remote control lock, reversing camera… In particular, the automatic safety door lock feature when the car is moving over 20km/h, which is usually only found on tourist cars, is also equipped on the Kenbo 5-seater.

With a cheap price but still equipped with basic amenities, even somewhat superior to competitors in the same price segment in 2019, the Kenbo 5-seater is really an attractive choice for those who prioritize economy.
Kenbo Car Quality and Durability
One of the factors that makes many people hesitate when choosing a cheap pickup truck like the Kenbo 5-seater is quality and durability. The Kenbo 5-seater shares the same frame and engine as the Kenbo 2-seater 950kg pickup truck and the Kenbo 990kg truck. The car’s 1.3L engine is rated as powerful enough to carry 5 people and a relatively large amount of goods.
The fuel consumption of the Kenbo 5-seater is also quite economical, about 6 liters/100km on standard roads. This is an ideal figure for a van pickup truck that carries both people and goods, helping to reduce operating costs for users.

Regarding the warranty policy, the Kenbo car manufacturer – Chien Thang Automobile Company applies a 3-year or 100,000km warranty program, equivalent to many popular tourist car lines on the market. This is a strong commitment to product quality, helping customers feel more secure when choosing the Kenbo 5-seater. In particular, Kenbo cars also have an at-home warranty policy, a major advantage compared to many competitors.
Kenbo 5-seater compared to other cheap pickup trucks in 2019
In 2019, the Vietnamese pickup truck market did not have too many truly cheap models. Popular options such as Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara, Toyota Hilux… all cost over 600 million VND, even billions of VND for high-end versions.
If comparing the Kenbo 5-seater directly with these traditional pickup trucks in terms of engine power, off-road performance or technological equipment, it is clear that Kenbo cannot be compared. However, it must be recognized that the Kenbo 5-seater targets a different customer segment, those who prioritize cheap prices, versatility in urban areas and light cargo carrying capacity.

If considering the criteria of “cheapest pickup truck of 2019”, the Kenbo 5-seater is really one of the top choices. In the price range of under 300 million VND in 2019, it is difficult to find another 5-seater pickup truck that can compete with Kenbo in terms of price and usability.
Conclusion
The Kenbo 5-seater pickup truck, although not a perfect car, meets the needs of a large number of Vietnamese customers in 2019: a cheap, versatile pickup truck that carries both people and goods, with a pleasing exterior design and basic amenities. If you are looking for the “cheapest pickup truck of 2019” and prioritize economic factors, the Kenbo 5-seater is a worthwhile choice.
