VinFast reports that its sales figures have held steady at approximately 11,000 units monthly, positioning the Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer far ahead of its competitors. The company shared these insights on Friday, revealing a robust performance across its diverse lineup.
Leading the charge is the VF 5, which sold 2,745 units in August, bringing its year-to-date total to an impressive 27,109. This model, often seen as a yardstick of consumer enthusiasm, underlines VinFast’s stronghold in the A-SUV segment. Meanwhile, the Herio Green variant tailored for transport service providers also made significant strides, with 2,395 vehicles delivered, further cementing the company’s market dominance.
In a close competition, the VF 3 followed up with 2,481 units sold last month. This vehicle has captured the hearts of consumers, becoming Vietnam’s best-selling model of the year with a staggering total of 28,704 cars delivered since January. Its affordability, striking aesthetics, and universal appeal have rightfully earned it the affectionate title of the “national car.”
Not to be overlooked, the VF 6 also showcased strong performance, recording sales of 2,038 units last month and a total of 12,492 for the year. This model has garnered acclaim for its durability and advanced technology, making it particularly attractive to younger buyers in the B-SUV segment. In the C-SUV category, the VF 7 is turning heads with its stylish design, achieving 718 units sold in August and accumulating 5,099 so far this year.
VinFast’s August success also stretched beyond its flagship models, with other offerings like the VF 8, VF 9, Nerio Green, and Limo Green contributing to sales figures. A noteworthy moment came on August 5, with the first deliveries of the Limo Green, marking the company’s strategic entry into the seven-seat MPV market, promising greater versatility for both families and service operators.

The anticipated growth will be bolstered by a combination of new models and the established appeal of existing offerings. Currently, VinFast leads in Vietnam’s electric vehicle landscape, boasting the most expansive portfolio that includes everything from mini-SUVs to E-SUVs and MPVs.
