With just four months left, 2024 will officially come to a close. These are also the busiest months for the Vietnamese automotive market. So, it’s no surprise that in the coming four months, the Vietnamese automotive market will welcome the launch of a series of new models, specifically as follows.
Mitsubishi Triton
According to Mitsubishi, the new generation Triton will be officially introduced in the Vietnamese market on September 11, 2024. The Japanese car brand is also taking reservations for this car model.
Entering the new generation, Mitsubishi Triton will undergo a comprehensive transformation in terms of design, equipment, and engine. Currently, the specific parameters of this car model in the Vietnamese market have not been announced. However, it is possible to refer to the car sold in some Southeast Asian markets to get an idea of the 2025 Mitsubishi Triton for Vietnam.
Mitsubishi Triton
The 2025 Mitsubishi Triton will feature new exterior design elements such as grille, headlights, taillights, front and rear bumpers, and alloy wheels. The top-of-the-line Athlete version boasts sleek black details, including “C” letter trim on the front, wheel arch trim, mirror caps, door handles, roof rails, sports bar on the cargo bed, and rear bumper.
Inside, this model also features a host of new equipment such as power-adjustable driver’s seat, instrument cluster with a 7-inch multi-information display, 9-inch center touchscreen with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto connectivity, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear seat vents, wireless phone charging, and USB Type-A/Type-C ports. In addition, it is equipped with a range of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and a 360-degree camera.
It is not yet clear which engine the 2025 Mitsubishi Triton in Vietnam will use. Meanwhile, in other markets, the car offers two diesel engine options. The first is a single-turbocharged 2.4-liter MIVEC diesel engine that produces 183 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque. The second is a twin-turbocharged 2.4-liter MIVEC diesel engine that delivers 204 horsepower and 470 Nm of torque. These engines are paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.
Haval Jolion
The Haval Jolion was announced to officially arrive in Vietnam in April of this year. However, the launch of this model has been repeatedly delayed. According to a sales consultant at the dealership, the Haval Jolion will be introduced in Vietnam in September.
Similar to the Mitsubishi Triton, the Haval Jolion will be imported from Thailand. Rumors suggest that the car will have two versions, Pro and Ultra, with a promised starting price of under 700 million VND.
Haval Jolion
Specific information about the equipment of the Haval Jolion in Vietnam has not yet been revealed. Meanwhile, in the Thai market, this model boasts LED lights, 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels, a 6-way power-adjustable and ventilated driver’s seat, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch center touchscreen, support for Apple CarPlay connectivity, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 6-speaker audio system, a head-up display (HUD), and wireless phone charging.

Under the hood of the Haval Jolion is a hybrid powertrain that includes a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, an electric motor, and a DHT automatic transmission. This system generates a combined output of 186 horsepower and 375 Nm of torque. The Haval Jolion has a fuel efficiency of 23.8 km/l (approximately 4.2 l/100 km).
Hyundai Santa Fe
The new generation Hyundai Santa Fe is expected to be launched in the Vietnamese market in September or October this year. Local dealerships have also started taking reservations for this mid-size SUV.
It is predicted that the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe in Vietnam will drop the diesel engine option. Instead, it may offer two gasoline engines like the new Santa Fe in the Philippine market.
The first is a 2.5-liter Theta III 4-cylinder engine that produces 194 horsepower and 246 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The second is a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 281 horsepower and 422 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to an 8-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system.
Hyundai Santa Fe
In addition to the new engine, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe also undergoes a complete transformation in terms of design, adopting a more boxy style reminiscent of the Range Rover luxury SUV. Its equipment is also more impressive, featuring LED lights, up to 21-inch alloy wheels, two 12.3-inch connected screens, a 6.6-inch touchscreen for climate control, two wireless phone charging pads, a digital rearview mirror, multi-color ambient lighting, a fingerprint scanner, a digital key, a Bose sound system, and a UV-C sterilizing glove box.

In addition to the Santa Fe, Hyundai is also likely to introduce an upgraded version of the Tucson in the Vietnamese market towards the end of this year. The upgraded Tucson features subtle design changes on the exterior, including a new grille, LED daytime running lights, front and rear bumpers, and alloy wheels.
Meanwhile, the interior gains a new 3-spoke steering wheel with an electronic gear selector placed behind it, a curved screen mounted on the dashboard that integrates a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch center touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a fingerprint reader, a head-up display, wireless phone charging, and more.

In Vietnam, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson is expected to retain the same engine options as before. These include a 2.0-liter gasoline engine that produces 156 horsepower and 192 Nm of torque, a 2.0-liter diesel engine that generates 186 horsepower and 416 Nm of torque, and a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 265 Nm of torque. These engines are mated to either a 6-speed automatic, an 8-speed automatic, or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Honda Civic
The mildly updated Honda Civic has been scheduled for launch in the Vietnamese market in October this year. According to Honda, the new Civic in Vietnam will be offered in three versions, namely G, RS, and e:HEV RS. Among these, the e:HEV RS is a hybrid version introduced in Vietnam for the first time.

The 2025 Honda Civic e:HEV RS is expected to use the same hybrid powertrain as the model sold in Thailand. This system includes a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 141 horsepower and 182 Nm of torque, along with two electric motors. One of the electric motors functions as a generator, while the other drives the car. These motors contribute a combined output of 184 horsepower.

The power is sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The car features steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and two drive modes: Econ and Normal.
In addition to the new engine, the 2025 Honda Civic for the Vietnamese market also receives subtle improvements in exterior design and interior equipment. It will be available in various color options, including pearl white, deep luminous black, rally red, metallic gray, and cosmic blue metallic. Notably, the cosmic blue metallic color will be exclusive to the e:HEV RS version.
Other notable equipment includes a Bose 12-speaker audio system for the e:HEV RS version, the Honda Connect telematics system, and active noise cancellation. Additionally, the car gains rear sensors, six airbags, and the Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance systems as standard across all three versions.

Since the Subaru Crosstrek will be imported from Japan, it is expected to be priced higher in the Vietnamese market.
