There are two months left in 2023, but the group of 4 car models leading sales in the entire market creates a difficult gap to fill with the rest.

Mitsubishi Xpander

2023 is the first year that Mitsubishi Xpander has the opportunity to become the best-selling car model in the entire Vietnamese market.

Xpander is the best-selling in its segment because it is an MPV model that harmonizes many aspects such as price, design and practicality.

The 50% registration fee discount of Decree 41 for assembled vehicles helps domestic car models have a great advantage in reaching customers.

Mazda CX-5

CX-5 sales accelerated since July when Truong Hai (Thaco) launched a mid-cycle upgrade with a shocking price, 749-999 million VND, the lowest in the segment.

The CX-5 is not highly appreciated for its driving feel compared to competitors such as Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester… but possessing a neutral design, rich equipment and the lowest price in the segment,

Hyundai Accent

Selling only 17 units less than the CX-5 is the B-class sedan, Hyundai Accent.

Accent (426-542 million VND) has a more accessible selling price than Vios (479-592 million VND).

The gap with Vios after October 2023 is more than 4,000 vehicles.

Ford Ranger

Ranger has dominated the segment in Vietnam for many years and is the only pickup truck capable of challenging the names of the best-selling vehicles on the market.

The tastes of pickup truck users in Vietnam do not emphasize practicality and durability like Thai people, aspects that are highly appreciated by Japanese models such as Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max.

Not only does it have the greatest appeal, Ford also offers many different variants to diversify customer groups, from carrying people combined with cargo, to being used primarily as a car or for fun like the Raptor variant.

Domestic assembly (partly imported XLS versions) further strengthens Ford Ranger’s influence in the segment.

The rest of the group of 10 best-selling cars on the market after 10 months 2023 are familiar names such as Toyota Corolla Cross, Toyota Vios, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Creta, Honda City and Kia Seltos.
