Kia Pride CD5 – a legendary old car for 200 million dong

HanoiThe car is sold by the owner to anyone who likes to collect at an unbelievable price, the reason is that “the car is original, with little driving”.

Ngoc Duc, owner of a 2004 Kia ​​CD5 in Tay Ho said that most of the details on the car are original such as the steering wheel, gear lever, seats, bright lights, and taillights. Particularly, the set of wheels was changed by him from Thailand. Germany is the second owner of the legendary durable hatchback model, famous in the used car market. The previous owner is also an acquaintance, so he knows well, the new car has run 100,000 km after nearly 20 years, which is only about 5,000 km a year, with periodic maintenance.

Because the car has most of the “zin” details, runs little, and is well maintained, Ngoc Duc wants to sell it for 200 million VND, while in reality on the market the same-generation cars only trade at the threshold of 50-80 million VND. . With a price of 200 million for this CD5, it is likely that only people who know about cars and like to collect can accept “down the money”.

According to Duc, to find an original car is very difficult because most of the cars on the market are very old, replaced a lot and many parts are no longer usable.

Kia CD5 is considered a “legendary” old car, a lot of people are looking to buy it because of its moderate price, the car is quite healthy, durable, fuel-efficient, deeply cool, and simple to repair. However, there is still a disadvantage that it is difficult to find replacement parts. The car is small and old, so the optimal travel speed is about 80 km/h or less.

The Kia CD5 was known as the Ford Festiva in Australia, the US, and Japan, and was sold from 1986 to 2002 through a partnership between Kia and Ford. The car is famous for its strong and durable chassis. Ford later abandoned development of the Fiesta instead.

In Vietnam, Kia Pride has two variants, a sedan called Beta and a hatchback called CD5. Pride was assembled in 1995 with the first variant being Beta, through Hoa Binh Automobile Joint Venture, also one of the first domestic car assembly companies. Still a few Pride cars were imported, but mainly in 1995 and 1996. By 2000, Pride had a CD5 variant. In 2005, the car was discontinued, replaced by the 2006 Kia Verna model.

Kia Pride Beta has a short wheelbase of 2,345 mm, so it is flexible, quite popular with driving schools. In addition, Pride also saves fuel by the 1.3, 4-stroke, 4-cylinder gasoline engine block. The product has a capacity of 69 horsepower at 5,500 rpm, which is quite fuel-efficient. Comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, no automatic. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, the consumption is 6 liters / 100 km.

Kia Pride CD5 hatchback version available from 2000, to 2002 upgraded power steering and cast wheels, while still selling the steel wheel version and without power steering in parallel. The hatchback version is about 300 mm shorter, the wheelbase remains the same.
