New Cars For Less Than $13.5K

New Cars For
Driving in Lebanon is an adventure of its own. We gathered 4 cars that cost less than $13,500 including registration and VAT. These cars are easy to drive, their maintenance doesnt cost much and parking them is as easy as it gets. Before we get started, I would like to highlight the fact that these rides are their categorys bestsellers here in Lebanon.

We took a note of their fuel level before going on a ride in Beirut and well check out which has consumed least at the end of this video. Eversince the Chevrolet Sparks update and aesthetic revamping, it started carving itself market shares. Its sales went up and it became a serious rival for cars of the same category. Lets go inside.

Usually, cars in this category come with no features such as ABS and airbags. But since security is a must for Chevrolet, it added to those features Break Assist and ESP which help in case of emergencies or while driving on slippery roads. What are you doing here? What are you all doing here? We remembered you were shooting today so we thought wed come and help. And whats all that youre carrying? Open the trunk please.

OK so theres a laptop case here but lets try. So, all comfortable? Im alright. You should ask those sitting in the back. Can you move your seat a bit? Yeah sure, no worries.

Better? A bit more Now Im the one lacking space! Thats not a problem. What you should worry about now is the music. How are you sharing the music? We can do it via Bluetooth. Yes, sure! I like that song.

How are you decreasing the volume? Steering wheel control man. Whats great about the Chevrolet Spark is its numerous features. Other than the steering wheel control, I can control the mirrors from here and its sound system is just wow. It has 6 speakers.

Other cars come with 4 when this one has 6. Great equipment then. And its also great performance wise. It has a 1.4L engine, which is great for this category.

Just see for yourself. OK, easy on that! Now our second car: the Datsun. As you all know, it came back in 2016 and it took no time at all to see Datsuns on Lebanese roads. Lets check it out! So how does this one feel? Comfortable from my end.

Jawad, should I move my seat? No, Im fine. Great then! What about the trunk? We were able to put everything inside. Great so no space issues this time. Ok.

We could have fit in twice as much. Know whats nice about the Datsun? Its actually bigger than the other cars we are featuring while being in the same price category. Ok. Also, its the only car featuring a touch screen and rearview camera which is great for parking.

And the touch screen has Bluetooth, radio and camera linked to it as well as USB ports, right? Yes sure, you can control everything. But I think we can all agree on the fact that this cars biggest downside is its interior which could really be improved. Knobs and buttons could also be smoother. Do we even need to introduce you to the Kia Picanto? For the past 7 years, its been the best seller in Lebanon.

To its great advantage, people view it as the best choice when it comes to fuel consumption. Is this true? Well find out at the end of this episode. So Nadim, what do you have to say about this one? Well it actually lacks features that are found in the other cars we have on the list. But Picanto is a ride that wont fail you: theres no Bluetooth, but theres an AUX port.

Its an easy ride and one should not forget its the cheapest car on our list today. Yes, thats true. It is in my opinion a huge advantage. Honestly we werent able to get a car from the dealership.

The car doesn't have ABS and airbags I personally think that if Picanto wants to remain a bestseller, ABS needs to become a standard, as well as airbags. And well, its getting a bit cold in here! Yes, well we all agreed on the fact that Picantos AC is the strongest one on the list! Im happy here, the cold doesnt bother me. Lets say its a summer car! What about stability and driving experience? Its definitely better than the Chevrolet Spark. In what sense? Its easier to handle.

We all know and grew accustomed to the Hyundai i10. Now comes the Grand i10, bigger and more spacious, which is set to replace the regular i10. Although it exceeds our set budget by $100, a special offer including one year maintenance, one year insurance and 200l of fuel makes us think it is a good option to consider. So Nadim, how does driving a Grand i10 feel? It feels great! Im not feeling movement as I did driving the Picanto.

But one must not forget that this car is bigger, which is sure to impact the driving experience. One great feature were going to shed the light on now is that this car is the only one to feature tiptronic. It's great to drive. What about stability? I think its the best one stability wise.

Now Im taking a turn. We are going at full speed. Whats also good about it is the seats. They are my favorite among all the cars we featured.

Being a bit more expensive than the set 13,500$ budget, it should have ABS or airbags, or at least one of both. We are now in front of a gas station. Lets see which of the 4 cars consumed less fuel. As you noticed, each car has its own advantages.

I would like to highlight the fact that these cars are all at entry level and are bestsellers in Lebanon. If you would like to see other cars in the same price range, leave a comment. Dont forget to subscribe, and well see you soon..
