The Contender for Vietnam’s Top 3 Best-Selling Cars
With 2025 just around the corner, the best-selling car models in the Vietnamese automotive market are starting to emerge.
Here are the top 3 best-selling car models in Vietnam as of now:
VinFast VF 5
Although VinFast does not regularly disclose sales figures for their models, according to various statistics, it can be predicted that the VinFast VF 5 has sold approximately 20,400 units in the past 11 months. This small electric car is a strong contender for the title of Vietnam’s best-selling car in 2024.
The VinFast VF 5 Plus is currently the only electric model in the CUV/SUV A-segment. It competes with rivals such as the Kia Sonet, Toyota Raize, and Hyundai Venue.
The VF 5 Plus impresses with its compact, stylish design, agile urban maneuverability, and optimized operating costs that surpass its gasoline-powered competitors in the same segment.
The VinFast VF 5 Plus is powered by an electric motor with a maximum output of 100kW (approximately 134 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 135Nm. The standard battery pack has a capacity of 37.23kWh, offering a maximum range of around 300km.
The car is offered in one version, with a price of 468 million VND when renting the battery and 548 million VND when purchasing the battery outright.
Mitsubishi Xpander
The Mitsubishi Xpander is a strong contender for the title of Vietnam’s best-selling car in 2024, with cumulative sales of 17,509 units over the past 11 months.
If it maintains its strong performance from November, with sales of 2,422 units, the Xpander is likely to reach a sales figure of nearly 20,000 units, matching its achievement in 2023.
The Mitsubishi Xpander boasts a modern design and impressive features. It is equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen entertainment system, supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel measures 8 inches. Other conveniences include leather seats, automatic air conditioning with Max Cool quick cooling function, second-row charging ports, electronic parking brake, and auto hold.
Under the hood, the Mitsubishi Xpander is powered by a 1.5-liter engine, producing 104 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The Mitsubishi Xpander is available in Vietnam in four versions: MT, AT, AT Premium, and Xpander Cross, with prices ranging from 560 million to 698 million VND.
Ford Ranger
Following the Mitsubishi Xpander is the Ford Ranger, with cumulative sales of 15,904 units over the past 11 months. In 2023, the Ranger was also among the top 4 best-selling cars in the market.
Currently, the Ranger dominates the pickup truck segment in Vietnam. Local assembly has helped Ranger improve its supply chain. Additionally, the introduction of the new generation has maintained its appeal in the market. It is also the only pickup truck that frequently appears in the monthly top-selling car rankings.
The Ford Ranger boasts a masculine and rugged exterior, embodying the American pickup truck spirit.
The Ranger offers three engine options in Vietnam. The XL, XLS, and XLT versions are equipped with a 2.0L Turbo diesel engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission, delivering 170 horsepower at 3,500 rpm and 405 Nm of torque between 1,750-2,500 rpm.
The Wildtrak version features a 2.0L twin-turbo diesel engine, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, producing 210 horsepower at 3,500 rpm and 500 Nm of torque between 1,750-2,000 rpm.
