The A-segment car market has lost its appeal in Vietnam. Sales figures from December 2025 and the previous year clearly reflect this trend.

A-Segment Car Sales in December 2025 (Unit: Cars)

Hyundai Grand i10: 381 Units

In December 2025, the Hyundai Grand i10 sold 381 units, a modest 5.8% increase from the previous month. This boosted its 2025 cumulative sales to 3,358 units, solidifying its position as the A-segment sales leader for both December and the entire year.

Hyundai Grand i10

The Hyundai Grand i10 is the top choice in the A-segment thanks to its diverse range of versions and styles. It’s the only model in the segment offering both hatchback and sedan variants. Additionally, its affordable price range of 360–455 million VND and robust features make it a standout option.

The Vietnamese version of the Hyundai Grand i10 comes equipped with features like LED daytime running lights, 15-inch alloy wheels, LED taillights, and side mirrors with integrated turn signals. It also boasts an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support, a Vietnam-specific navigation system, a push-button start, and a smart key.

Powering this model is a 1.2L Kappa MPI gasoline engine delivering a maximum output of 83 horsepower and 114 Nm of torque. It’s paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Toyota Wigo: 232 Units

The Toyota Wigo secured the second spot in A-segment sales for December 2025 and the previous year, selling 232 units in December, a decline of 11.4%. It was the only A-segment model to experience a sales drop in December 2025. Its 2025 cumulative sales reached 2,395 units.

Toyota Wigo

The Toyota Wigo is available in Vietnam with a single variant priced from 405 million VND. Despite having the highest starting price in the segment, it stands out for its compact design, reputable brand, high resale value, and competitive features.

Notable features include LED headlights, power-folding side mirrors, 14-inch alloy wheels, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 4-speaker audio system, blind-spot monitoring (BSM), and rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA).

The Toyota Wigo is powered by a 1.2L gasoline engine paired with a dual D-CVT automatic transmission, producing a maximum output of 87 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque. Unlike the Hyundai Grand i10, it does not offer a manual transmission option.

Kia Morning: 36 Units

The Kia Morning recorded the highest sales growth rate in the A-segment for December 2025, surging 125% but only selling 36 units. This modest result placed it at the bottom of the A-segment and among the top 10 slowest-selling cars in the market. Its 2025 cumulative sales totaled just 299 units.

Kia Morning

The Kia Morning received an upgraded version in Vietnam in late 2025, available in two variants: AT and GT-Line, priced between 439–469 million VND. This places it at the higher end of the A-segment price range.

However, the new version compensates with a sportier, more appealing design and features like LED headlights/taillights with a distinctive “star map” graphic, two-tone 15-inch alloy wheels, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support, a 6-speaker audio system, and segment-exclusive automatic climate control. Unfortunately, it still lacks cruise control, unlike some competitors.

The Kia Morning is powered by the same 1.25L gasoline engine as before, delivering a maximum output of 83 horsepower and 120 Nm of torque. Unlike the previous generation, it no longer offers a manual transmission option, relying solely on an automatic gearbox.
