Toyota Veloz Cross
When it comes to 7-seater cars in the $25,000 price range, the Toyota Veloz Cross is definitely a must-see. As soon as it arrived in Vietnam, the Toyota Veloz Cross quickly became scarce, with customers having to wait for several months.
In addition to its eye-catching design, spacious interior, and convenience, the Veloz Cross also has many technological features that even higher-priced cars don’t have. Notably, it has automatic headlights, electronic parking brake, Toyota Sense Safe safety package, and more.
Kia Cerato
The Kia Cerato is positioned in the C-segment sedan segment and is popular with many people. The latest generation Kia Cerato has a sporty design from the front to the rear. The front of the car stands out with the signature tiger-nose grille found on all KIA models, which is chrome-rimmed for a sportier look.

Kia Rondo
The Kia Rondo is a compact urban 7-seater MPV. Launched in 2014, the Kia Rondo replaced its “predecessor”, the Kia Carens. Initially, the Kia Rondo’s price was quite high. After many years, the selling price has gradually decreased, with the current manual version priced below $25,000 and the automatic version around $27,500.
In the segment of 7-seater cars priced around $25,000, the Kia Rondo is the car with the most powerful performance.

Besides, the Rondo is also highly appreciated for its smooth 6-speed transmission, steering wheel that provides a fairly interesting driving experience, and relatively good soundproofing.
However, due to its compact size, the Kia Rondo’s cabin space is quite cramped, especially in the third row. The car’s safety systems are also only basic.
