The Vietnamese automotive market concluded 2025 with significant fluctuations, influenced by economic conditions, regulatory policies, and shifting consumer preferences. Despite occasional slowdowns, government support and business incentives helped the market regain its growth momentum, as evidenced by the race for the Top 10 Best-Selling Cars in Vietnam for 2025.
According to sales reports from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (VAMA) and TC Motor (Hyundai’s distributor), most models in the Top 10 achieved sales exceeding 13,000 units. Notably, VinFast electric vehicles dominated with four top positions, highlighting a clear shift in consumer preference toward electric vehicles over traditional internal combustion engine cars.
Leading the list is the VinFast VF 3, with 44,585 units sold in 2025. This compact electric vehicle quickly became a popular choice due to its stylish design, urban-friendly size, and affordable price of 299 million VND. The VF 3 is credited with expanding the customer base, particularly among first-time car buyers.
Following closely is the VinFast VF 5, with 43,913 units sold, a 12,000-unit increase from 2024. Unlike the VF 3, the VF 5 is a 5-seat crossover, catering to both personal and commercial needs. Priced at approximately 529 million VND, the VF 5 solidifies VinFast’s position in the affordable electric vehicle segment.
The third spot goes to the VinFast Limo Green, a 7-seat electric MPV launched in 2025. Despite deliveries starting only in August, it sold 27,127 units, driven by strong demand from families and commercial services. Its rapid acceleration in sales toward the end of the year left a significant mark on the market.
In fourth place is the VinFast VF 6, with 23,291 units sold, further cementing VinFast’s dominance in the electric vehicle category.
Among internal combustion engine vehicles, the Mitsubishi Xpander stands out in fifth place with 19,891 units sold. Despite increasing competition, this gasoline-powered MPV maintains its appeal through its design, reliable performance, and continuous promotional programs.
The Ford Ranger, the only pickup truck in the Top 10, ranks sixth with 18,692 units sold, maintaining its leadership in Vietnam’s pickup segment.
The following positions are held by the Mazda CX-5 (17,262 units), Mitsubishi Xforce (15,254 units), and Toyota Yaris Cross (14,601 units), compact SUVs gaining popularity for their versatility and suitability for various needs.
Rounding out the Top 10 is the Toyota Vios with 13,424 units sold. Despite a decline in sales compared to the previous year, the Vios retains its position among the best-sellers, reflecting Toyota’s strong promotional efforts in a declining sedan segment.
The Top 10 Best-Selling Cars in Vietnam for 2025 illustrates a clear market shift toward electric vehicles and compact SUVs, mirroring changes in Vietnamese consumer habits and expectations.
