Ecocar showdown
The Nissan March has met its first match, the Honda Brio. Which one's better? Published: 6/06/2011 at 12:00 AM
Bangkok Post: Newspaper section: Life Nissan played the cards quite nicely when it rolled out the country's first Ecocar, knowing that Honda would have been the second player to follow suit with an eco-friendly car.
Now that B-segment hatchbacks ranging from the Honda Jazz to the Ford Fiesta are busy attracting buyers with some 600,000-700,000 baht in their pockets, it's only wise to move below that price bracket with A-segment alternatives.
But Nissan didn't exactly do that. Rather, it took the March (generally labelled as a B-segment car in world markets), took advantage of Ecocar promotional privileges and priced the five-door hatchback in the 400,000-500,000 baht sector.
Before the birth of the March, the smallest car Nissan had in its Thai lineup was the Tiida, which Nissan considers more of a contender, if not exactly, for the C-segment.
