Band New of Registered?

[Aship]

Dear All,

Pls let me know what is the better option for a budget of 3.1-3.3 million.....................

Hyundai Grande i10     peradua Axia   Kia Picanto   Dihatsu Mira    Stingra    etc in brand new condition   OR

Toyota Vios, Belta, Yaris or a JEEP type of vehicle registered around 2005-2007 with less than 80,000Km mileage.

Our main concern is safety as we have to travell everyday with our toddler (daycare)

 

Thanks

Hyundai Grande i10 - Made in India - ZERO NCAP (Latam) rating. Stay away (even if you don't have a toddler)

Perodua Axia - 4-star NCAP (Asean) - has isofix points for child seats

Kia Picanto - 4-star (Euro NCAP) - only the fully loaded version - this is probably the best buy, since the 4-stars are given by big daddy of all NCAPs

Daihatsu mira  and Suzuki stingray - no ratings in JNCAP site for 2016 models. The 2014 model is evaluated at 4-star. Evaluation also doesn't contain any info about child protection.

I am glad to see someone who puts safety ahead of resale value. If you are not too bothered about resale, I would suggest going for an older Euro, such as a Peugeot or a Volvo. Even a 90s peugeot will provide you better protection than a modern allion or an axio.

Finally, pls get yourself a child seat for the toddler. They are available everywhere in SL now.

Good luck and be safe.
