What cars do they drive in Vietnam?

What kind of cars do they have in Vietnam?

Cars in Vietnam, huh? Hmm.

• Toyota Camry is definitely a thing. My uncle Hai has one. Super boring, but reliable, I guess. Sedan, right?

• Hyundai Elantra. Yeah, see those a lot. I think my neighbor owns one. Also a sedan. Man, so many sedans.

• KIA Cerato. Another sedan! What’s with Vietnam and sedans? Seriously. Oh, wait, maybe it’s just what I notice.

• Honda City. Yup, sedans galore! You see them used as taxis quite often. Is that a Honda thing?

• Mitsubishi Attrage. Okay, this one is smaller, right? Still a sedan, though! Small sedan. Economy size lol.

• Speaking of small, Hyundai Grand i10. Hatchback. Finally! My cousin had one when she was first learning to drive in 2023. She totaled it ????.

• Range Rover. Now we’re talking. SUV. Big, fancy. Definitely not for everyday driving in Saigon traffic, unless you hate yourself. Wealthy people stuff for real.

• Mazda CX-5. CUV, I think. Getting a little crossover-y. My coworker Thao drives one. She likes it.

• And Toyota Innova. Oh, MPV, like a family car. I remember my dad considered getting one when we were kids. Never did, though. Lucky us, haha. Is that thing even still made? I haven’t seen one for a while.

• Thinking about cars makes me think about pho. I could really go for some pho right now. This is giving me ideas. But where was I? Right, cars.

• There is also VinFast I think. The electric car.

• I think a good option to have there is a scooter. It’s great for the traffic.

What is the driving style in Vietnam?

Vietnam’s driving: Chaos reigns. Expect the unexpected.

• Aggressive maneuvers. Prepare for it.
• Motorbike mayhem. A constant.
• Rule bending. Frequent.

My 2023 trip: Near misses daily. Hanoi’s gridlock brutal. Ho Chi Minh City? Even worse. Patience? A necessity. Defensive driving? Essential. Almost got clipped by a cyclo. Seriously. Always scanning. Never relax. Learn to anticipate the unpredictable. It’s a survival skill. No joke.

What is the best selling car in Vietnam?

Ugh, Vietnam cars… VinFast IS #1, right? Selling like crazy. Wow, 2024!

• VF3: Almost 5k units!
• VF5: 2.6k+! That’s a lot of cars.

What colors do they even come in? Need to check.

VF6, VF7, VF8, VF9 also doing well. Huh. Wonder what the price point on the VF9 is? Bet it’s $$$$.

Okay, so VinFast dominates. Why though? Is it the electric thing? Or just good marketing? I hate ads.

• Electric vehicles are definitely part of it.
• Vietnamese pride, maybe? Buying local and all that. Good for them.

My aunt went to Vietnam last spring… Did she see any? Should ask her. Anyway, VinFast, #1 selling brand in Vietnam right now. Done.

Which is the most selling car brand?

Toyota reigns supreme. 2023 sales: 8.57 million units. A modest 3.47% uptick from 2022.

Global dominance. Unsurpassed.

• Key takeaway: Toyota’s consistent leadership.
• Sales figures: Significant year-on-year growth.
• Market position: Unchallenged. The top spot is theirs.
• My personal opinion: A testament to reliability. Nothing flashy, just solid engineering. My own ’21 Camry proves this point.

Further points: Competition fierce. Volkswagen Group nips at their heels. Electric vehicle market shifts everything. Expect upheavals.

What is the local car brand in Vietnam?

Three AM. The city hums, a low thrum outside my window. VinFast. That’s all I can think about. A Vietnamese car. It’s surreal. Hanoi… Hai Phong. Those names feel distant, like a dream.

VinFast. It’s bold, isn’t it? A whole new car brand. They say it’s ambitious. I wonder about the people who built it, the dreams behind the metal.

The plant in Hai Phong. Huge, they say. I picture the workers, their hands calloused. Tired eyes.

• First Vietnamese brand. That’s something. I read that recently.
• Hanoi’s the heart, I suppose. But the factory’s the muscle. The reality of it all feels very far away.
• 2023 models… some interesting designs, I saw online. I’m not sure I’d buy one, but I’m impressed. Really I am.

This whole thing…it feels lonely somehow. The weight of a nation’s aspirations on those factory floors. Strange. I feel it here, in my apartment, miles from Hai Phong.

What car brand is made in Vietnam?

VinFast, duh. Mekong exists, sure, like a forgotten uncle at a family reunion. Only VinFast dares to actually, you know, build cars.

Vietnam, a manufacturing powerhouse? Bless your heart. It’s more like a plucky underdog in the automotive Olympics. But hey, VinFast’s giving it a go!

Think of it: VinFast is Vietnam’s automotive ambition incarnate. It’s like a sparrow dreaming of being an eagle.

• VinFast: Vietnam’s main automotive hope. Ambitious. Possibly delusional, but in a good way.
• Mekong: Still kicking? Color me surprised. Honestly forgot that existed.
• Vietnam’s Manufacturing: More known for, uh, other things. Let’s just say car manufacturing presents an uphill battle.

Consider the odds! Building cars ain’t knitting socks. It’s a whole supply chain saga. A mechanical pas de deux with robots.

And VinFast, they decided to waltz right in. Good on them, I say. Now if only they could get the blinker fluid right…

(My cat just judged my driving skills. Harsh, Mr. Whiskers, harsh.)

Is it perfect? Heck no. Is it interesting? Absolutely! Plus, I want a Vietnamese-made car, just so I can confuse the valet parking guys.

Do they manufacture cars in Vietnam?

Okay, so cars in Vietnam? I know they do.

Remember visiting Nha Trang back in July 2024? Hot doesn’t begin to describe it, ugh! We rented a car to get around. It was some local brand thing.

Forget the exact name (VinFast maybe?), but it was definitely made in Vietnam. Rattled like crazy on the highway, tbh.

281,400 cars were produced in Vietnam (Jan-Oct 2024) – a 12.1% increase from last year? Whoa! Didn’t expect that.

And 56,301 new cars entered the market just in October 2024? Both local and imported, tho.

Yeah, cars are made there. Just…maybe stick to taxis. Or flights. Heh.
