Vietnam March 2026: VinFast reaches record 39% share

22 April 2026 at 15:15

The VinFast Limo Green is the best-selling vehicle in Vietnam in March.

New vehicle sales in Vietnam surge 51% year-on-year in March to 70,859 units. This leads to a Q1 tally up 41.8% to 162,039. Local EV maker Vinfast almost triples its year-ago volume (+181.7%) to reach a record 39% share of its home market. Toyota (+51.6%) follows at a distance with 11.5% of the market ahead of Thaco-Kia (+19.4%) and Mitsubishi (+15.3%) both quiet. Hyundai (-15.3%) goes completely against the market and endures a disappointing YoY loss.

Model-wise, Vinfast spectacularly monopolises the Top 5 for the second month in a row. The new Limo Green reclaims the top spot it holds year-to-date, toppling the VF 3 (+27.8%) while the VF 5 (-4.1%) stays at #3. The VF 6 (+186.5%) and the new MPV 7 exchange rankings to #4 and #5 respectively. The Toyota Yaris Cross (+100.7%) is the best of the rest, up 7 spots on last month to #6. Vinfast places another two models inside the Top 10: the new Minio Green at #7 and the VF 7 (+188.7%) at #9. Notice also the new Mitsubishi Detonator rounding out the Top 10.
