With just about a month left until the Lunar New Year, several new car models are set to launch in the Vietnamese market. Here’s a detailed look at what’s coming.
Toyota Hilux
According to current information, the new-generation Toyota Hilux will officially debut in Vietnam on January 19, 2026. Dealerships have been accepting pre-orders for this pickup truck since November 2025.
Toyota Hilux
Like its predecessor, the Toyota Hilux will be imported directly from Thailand. It’s expected to come in three variants: 4×2 MT, 4×2 AT, and 4×4 AT, with prices ranging from 700 million to 1 billion VND.
The new-generation Hilux boasts significant upgrades in design and features. In Thailand, it includes LED lighting, new side steps on the rear bumper, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system, digital climate control, electronic parking brake, 360-degree camera with underbody view, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 with adaptive cruise control and more.
Under the hood is the familiar 2.8L 1GD-FTV diesel engine, delivering 204 hp and 410 Nm of torque with a 6-speed manual transmission or 500 Nm with a 6-speed automatic. It will be available in both single-cab and dual-cab configurations.
The 4×4 variants now come standard with a rear differential lock and Multi-Terrain System (MTS), offering modes for Mud, Sand, Rock, and Snow.
Honda CR-V e:HEV
In November 2025, Honda announced that the hybrid version of the CR-V would be locally assembled instead of imported from Thailand. Additionally, a new hybrid variant, the e:HEV L, will join the Vietnamese lineup.
Honda CR-V e:HEV
Expected to launch in February 2026, the Honda CR-V e:HEV L is priced approximately 50 million VND lower than the current e:HEV RS, which is listed at 1.259 billion VND. Thus, the e:HEV L is anticipated to cost around 1.25 billion VND.
Notable changes include the replacement of the traditional gearshift with a modern Shift-by-wire system, enhancing the cabin’s sleekness and functionality.
The powertrain remains unchanged, featuring a 2.0L Atkinson Cycle engine paired with two electric motors, producing a combined 204 hp and 335 Nm of torque. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a CVT transmission. The vehicle offers three driving modes: EV (electric), Hybrid, and Engine (gasoline).
Lynk & Co 900
At the Vietnam Mobility Show 2025 in late December, Chinese brand Lynk & Co showcased the new 900 model. It is scheduled to launch in Vietnam in January 2026.
