Thanks to attractive promotions from automakers and dealerships, car consumption in the Vietnamese market showed significant improvement in November. This is evident in the list of the top-selling car models, with most of the mentioned products experiencing sales growth.
Top 10 best-selling cars in Vietnam in November 2023 (based on data from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association (VAMA) and TC Motor).
Despite a 21% drop in sales compared to October, the Mazda CX-5 still holds the top spot. In mid-November, THACO adjusted the proposed retail price of this model, increasing it by 5 million VND (approximately $217) for all 2.0L versions except the standard Deluxe variant. However, the listed price of this model still ranges from 749 to 999 million VND (approximately $32,545 to $43,364).
Hyundai Accent ranks 2nd with a slight increase of 14% in sales in November. With this result, the Korean brand’s car model has almost secured its position as the best-selling B-segment sedan of the year.
Ranking 3rd is the Toyota Vios with a slight increase of 6% in sales. Despite various promotions from manufacturers and dealerships, the “sales king” still hasn’t been able to regain its previous momentum.
In contrast, Toyota occupies 3 positions in the top 10 best-selling cars in Vietnam in November 2023. In addition to the Vios, the other two Toyota models, Veloz Cross and Yaris Cross, also made it onto the list. Among them, Veloz Cross made a comeback after several months of absence but still couldn’t surpass the Mitsubishi Xpander. Toyota Yaris Cross, on the other hand, made its first appearance thanks to substantial discounts at dealerships.
Mitsubishi Xpander takes the 4th spot with a nearly 15% increase in sales compared to the previous month. Similar to the CX-5, the Xpander has firmly held its position as the best-selling MPV of the year. Moreover, the Mitsubishi Xpander may become the best-selling car model in the entire market in 2023.
Ford Ranger continues to dominate the pickup truck segment with a 14.4% increase in sales, securing the 5th place in the overall market in November. The 6th spot belongs to the Hyundai Creta, which remains the best-selling B-SUV despite a decrease of 17 units compared to the previous month.
Taking the 7th position is the Kia Sonet, with a slight sales increase of 4.5%, making it the best-selling A-SUV. Following closely is the Hyundai Tucson with a nearly 6% decrease in sales, unable to compete with the Mazda CX-5.
Two car models dropped out of the top 10 best-selling cars in Vietnam in November 2023, including the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Santa Fe. In the past month, Korean cars accounted for only 4 positions on the list, while Japanese cars dominated with 5 featured products. American cars had only 1 representative.
