Neomo Neo+ Practical 1.3


Engine : RE Series , RE13B3

Neomo Neo+ Luxury 1.3


Engine : RE Series , RE13B3

[quote]**The Neomo Neo is the first car released by the Japanese automaker Saminda under the Neomo brand since 2012 , it will be called as Neo+ as of 2014 , while the originally Neo+ which is a MPV will be cancelled production , Neomo explained the name change is due to the Neo is now a more ‘‘Upscale Vehicle’’ , the Neo+ is available in markets such as India, South Africa ,Thailand and Indonesia. One glance at the car and you will know that the Neo+ is a fairly large hatchback , based on the same Plaform as the C1 Mover , the Neo+ is longer, yet marginally narrower than its Saminda sibling. The styling is contemporary. Fourangle grilles are the flavor of the season, but the Neomo grille has enough flair to stand out in the crowd

Powering the Neomo Neo+ is the same 1.3-liter , 4-cylinder RE13B petrol engine from the Saminda family, the state of tune however is different, tuned for better fuel efficiency, the Neomo Neo+ engine produces 80BHP and 116 Nm of torque and claims a fuel economy of 20.32km/l (4.9l/100km)

[quote]**The Neomo NeoUP is a four-door subcompact hatchback manufactured by Saminda Motor Co. and sold under it Neomo brand , primarily for emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region.

Introduced in 2012, the Neomo NeoUP is developed for the China, Taiwan and South East Asian markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand , which filled the Asian subcompact or B-segment class, below the Saminda C3 and Saminda C5 which are also sold in the region.

Under the bonnet of the NeoUP lies the same 1.5-liter engine used in its predecessor that provides 102bhp and 134Nm of torque , the sport variant RS is also equipped with the same engine but is tuned with more power , making 117bhp and 141nm of torque , mated to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.

The all new NeoUP is a great improvement from the outgoing one. The design and styling is up two notches and the drive is significantly smoother as compared to its predecessor.
For a decent family compact hatch, the NeoUP definitely fits the bill.**[/quote]

Why can’t Saminda sell the C1 GT as it own in South East Asia :open_mouth:

To be frank , as a consumer i would rather buy a Made in Japan rather then a Made in Thailand Saminda

[quote=“Fazer600”]Why can’t Saminda sell the C1 GT as it own in South East Asia :open_mouth:

The C1 GT is bulit in Japan and only for the Japan market , if we sell it as Saminda in SEA , we need to export it .

Instead we will bulit the C1 GT in Thailand under the Neomo brand . Although the Pearl is bulit in Thailand , but don’t worry , we have quality control.

Neomo Zhia G’A 1.6


Engine : YB Series , YB16A2

[quote]The Zhia is a mini MPV manufactured by the Japanese automaker Saminda. The Zhia is actually similiar to the Saminda CR25, it’s built under the same platform , only differences is that the CR25 has rear sliding door, while the CR25 is bulit in Japan and is for the Japanese Domestic Market , the Zhia is bulit in Thailand and Indonesia and is for the bigger markets.

Compared to the CR25 1.1-liter turbocharged engine , the Zhia is equipped with a 1.6-liter i-VIC 110hp and mated to a six speed automatic transmission gearbox

Neomo Zhia is a good looking vehicle whose performance is satisfactory but not the best in its class. Chaotic roads, bumpy potholes will leave the performance of this MPV undeterred. So if you’re living in one of those Thailand roads, Neomo Zhia is a safe car to go for , just under $17,000 and if you are comfortable with the price tag, have a happy big family, are swept away by its looks and are in complete love with Saminda, go for the Zhia without doubts.[/quote]

The Antana has all the space of a B-segment ride with the budget-friendly value of an A-segment vehicle. It might not capture buyers based on its design but it’s a practical family car that can comfortably seat five and has the power and maneuverability to make city traffic bearable.

Saminda’s loyal following and faith in the brand’s reliability should help the Antana capture a good chunk of the market.
