B-segment SUV Sales Table for December 2024 (units: vehicles)
Toyota Yaris Cross: 1,578 units
December 2024 was a highly successful month for the Toyota Yaris Cross, with sales reaching 1,578 units, representing a remarkable 32.8% growth rate. With these results, the Yaris Cross surpassed the Vios as Toyota’s best-selling model.
Toyota Yaris Cross
Throughout 2024, Vietnamese customers purchased 11,174 units of the Toyota Yaris Cross, ranking it second in the B-segment SUV market. It was also one of the best-selling vehicles in the overall Vietnamese market last year.
The Toyota Yaris Cross is currently offered in Vietnam with two versions, priced between VND 650-765 million. In addition to its affordable price, the model’s appeal lies in its eye-catching design and rich standard equipment.
The most significant difference between the two versions lies in their engines. The gasoline-powered version features a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 105 horsepower and 138 Nm of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). On the other hand, the hybrid version utilizes a 1.5L 4-cylinder gasoline engine producing 90 horsepower, combined with a 79 horsepower electric motor and a lithium-ion battery.
Mitsubishi Xforce: 1,140 units
In contrast to its rival, the Toyota Yaris Cross, the Mitsubishi Xforce experienced a decline in sales to 1,140 units in December 2024. Compared to the previous month, this represents a decrease of 37.4%. As a result, the Mitsubishi Xforce slipped to second place in the B-segment SUV market, behind the Toyota Yaris Cross.
However, when considering the cumulative sales for the entire year of 2024, the Mitsubishi Xforce leads the segment. Specifically, Vietnamese customers purchased a total of 14,407 units of the Xforce last year. This figure is even more impressive considering that the vehicle was only introduced to the Vietnamese market in March 2024.
Mitsubishi Xforce
The Xforce is currently the second best-selling model of the Mitsubishi brand, only surpassed by the Xpander. When considering the overall market, it ranks as the fourth best-selling gasoline and diesel vehicle for the previous year.
The Mitsubishi Xforce’s advantage lies in its competitive pricing, ranging from VND 599-705 million for four different versions, along with its attractive design, diverse convenience features, and safety equipment. At the heart of this model is a 1.5L 4-cylinder gasoline engine that generates 105 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. The vehicle offers four driving modes: Normal, Gravel, Mud, and Slippery Road, available in the higher-end versions.

The cumulative sales for 2024 reached 6,230 units, placing it sixth in the B-segment SUV segment.
Honda HR-V
Similar to other Honda models, the HR-V is priced higher in its segment, ranging from VND 699-871 million. However, it boasts an attractive exterior design and adequate convenience features. Unlike its competitors, the HR-V is equipped with advanced active safety features as standard.

The Mazda CX-3 is currently one of the most affordable B-segment SUVs in the market, with prices starting from VND 512-631 million. Despite its attractive pricing, eye-catching design, and advanced safety features, the CX-3 has not achieved significant sales in Vietnam due to its cramped interior space.
The Mazda CX-3 is powered by a SkyActiv-G 1.5L gasoline engine that delivers 110 horsepower and 144 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sport mode and front-wheel drive.
