Vietnam’s Automotive Market Dynamics in May 2025
In the compact SUV segment, the Ford Territory overtook the Mazda CX-5 to claim the top spot, attributed to clearance deals ahead of an upgraded model launch.

VinFast VF 5: 4,232 units sold
The VF 5, an electric SUV, maintained its popularity with 4,232 units sold. Priced at 529 million VND (including battery), it’s a compelling option in the small electric vehicle category.
VinFast VF 3: 3,950 units sold
The VinFast VF 3, a mini electric SUV, followed closely with 3,950 units sold. Its compact design and affordable price of 299 million VND are creating a new market segment in Vietnam.

The Mazda CX-5, a longtime leader in the compact SUV segment, sold 1,446 units in May, just 35 units behind the Territory. With 7 versions and a price range of 749-979 million VND, it remains a strong contender.

Toyota Vios: 1,148 units sold
The Toyota Vios was the only traditional sedan in the top 10, selling 1,148 units. With recent upgrades, it has reaffirmed its leadership in the compact sedan segment. It’s available in 3 versions, priced from 458 to 545 million VND.
Mitsubishi Xpander: 1,100 units sold

Toyota Corolla Cross: 885 units sold
Rounding out the top 10 was the Toyota Corolla Cross, with 885 units sold.

It’s priced at 828 million and 913 million VND in Vietnam.
