Toyota Yaris Cross: 1,080 units
Securing second place in the B-SUV segment is the Toyota Yaris Cross. Toyota sold 1,080 units of this model, reflecting an 8.8% decline. The Yaris Cross was Toyota’s best-selling model in Vietnam for April 2025 and the only Toyota SUV to make it into the top 10 best-selling cars in the country for that month.
Toyota Yaris Cross
During April 2025, Toyota offered a 50% discount on registration fees for the Yaris Cross, up to VND 33 million for the gasoline version and VND 38 million for the hybrid (HEV) variant. Additionally, Toyota Financial Services Vietnam (TFSVN) provided promotional interest rates of 5.49% per annum for the hybrid version and 5.99% for the gasoline model.
Beyond these incentives, the Yaris Cross boasts competitive pricing, ranging from VND 650 million to VND 765 million. It also carries the Toyota brand reputation and comes well-equipped, even in its standard configuration.
The most significant difference between the two versions of this B-SUV lies in their powertrains. The gasoline variant is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder engine producing 105 hp and 138 Nm of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). On the other hand, the hybrid version employs a 1.5L four-cylinder engine generating 90 hp, combined with a 79 hp electric motor and a lithium-ion battery.

The Hyundai Creta witnessed the highest growth rate in the B-SUV segment for the month.

It was also the only Hyundai model to feature in the top 10 best-selling cars in the country for April.
Hyundai Creta
The Creta’s success can be attributed to its affordable pricing, starting at VND 599 million to VND 699 million, eye-catching design, and comprehensive convenience and safety features. Additionally, its engine delivers competitive performance.
The Hyundai Creta is powered by a SmartStream 1.5L gasoline engine that produces 115 hp and 144 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with an intelligent continuously variable transmission (iVT) and front-wheel drive.

In recent months, the Mitsubishi Xforce has consistently lost its top position in the B-SUV segment to its rivals. April 2025 was no exception, with the Xforce selling 612 units, a 35.4% decrease.

The highlight of the new Honda HR-V is its hybrid powertrain. The e:HEV RS variant features a hybrid system comprising a 1.5L four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 129 hp electric motor. According to Honda, this hybrid system delivers over 30% better fuel efficiency than a conventional gasoline engine and offers smoother acceleration.
The remaining two variants continue to use a 1.5L i-VTEC four-cylinder gasoline engine with natural aspiration, producing 119 hp at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm.
