As per the latest updates, the Vietnam Motor Show 2024 is scheduled to take place from October 23, 2024, to October 27, 2024, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City.
According to the organizers, the participating automotive brands this year include: GAC, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Honda, Skoda, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, MG, BYD, and GAZ.
Vietnam Motor Show 2024 will not only be a venue for vehicle displays but also a platform for these brands to introduce their newest and most prominent models.
Here are some of the vehicles that might be launched and attract attention at the Vietnam Motor Show 2024:
**Toyota Camry**
According to sales consultants at dealerships, the new-generation Toyota Camry is expected to be released in Vietnam by the end of this year. There is a high possibility that the new Camry will be showcased at the Vietnam Motor Show (VMS) in October.
It is likely that the new Toyota Camry in Vietnam will be available in three versions: 2.0Q, 2.5HEV Mid, and 2.5HEV Luxury.
It is not yet clear which engine will be equipped with the car when it arrives in Vietnam. In Singapore, the new Camry features a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.5L Atkinson engine with two electric motors, delivering 228 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 221 Nm of torque from 3,200 to 5,200 rpm.
The vehicle uses a lithium-ion battery and has front-wheel drive through a hybrid CVT transmission. Toyota has announced a fuel consumption rate of 5.1L/100 km, with CO2 emissions of 115 g/km.
**Honda Civic**
The Honda Civic 2024 is another highly anticipated model expected to make an appearance at this year’s VMS. Some dealerships have already started taking reservations for this vehicle.
According to dealership sources, the Honda Civic 2024 will be imported from Thailand and offered in three versions, including one named e:HEV, which will feature a hybrid powertrain.
As the new Civic will have additional equipment, the price is expected to be higher than that of its predecessor. The current Honda Civic’s price ranges from 730 million to 870 million VND.
The Honda Civic 2025 in Vietnam is likely to be powered by two engine options.
The first option is a 1.5L turbocharged engine that produces 178 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT transmission.
The second option is a high-end hybrid powertrain that combines an electric motor and a gasoline engine. The electric motor generates 181 horsepower and 315 Nm of torque, while the gasoline engine is a naturally aspirated, four-cylinder, 2.0L unit that delivers 141 horsepower and 189 Nm of torque. This model uses an electronic e-CVT transmission and front-wheel drive.
In typical hybrid vehicles, the electric motor plays a secondary role, but in the Civic e:HEV RS, the gasoline engine primarily functions as a generator, with most of the power transmitted to the wheels coming from the electric motor.
This setup enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds while offering exceptional fuel efficiency, consuming just 4 liters per 100 kilometers, compared to 6.3 liters for the RS gasoline version.
**Subaru Crosstrek**
Recently, a batch of Subaru Crosstrek 2024 vehicles arrived at a port in Vietnam. According to dealership sources, this compact CUV will be officially launched by the brand in October at the Vietnam Auto Expo 2024.
The Subaru Crosstrek 2024 belongs to the CUV-B segment and competes with models such as the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Nissan Kicks, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota Corolla Cross.
The Subaru Crosstrek, when released in Vietnam, is expected to be powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, generating a maximum output of 154 horsepower and 196 Nm of maximum torque. It will be paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and offer a choice between front-wheel drive and symmetrical all-wheel drive.
Some dealership consultants have stated that the Crosstrek 2024 is expected to be priced at around 1.1 billion VND, which is significantly higher than its competitors in the same segment, such as the Honda HR-V and Toyota Corolla Cross.
