The Vietnamese automotive and motorcycle markets experienced significant growth in 2026. During the first half of the year, Kia Vietnam saw a 28% year-on-year increase in internal-combustion car sales, driven largely by the Sonet and Seltos models. Simultaneously, the motorcycle market grew by 14.6%, fueled by a shift toward electric models from manufacturers like VinFast, Yadea, and DatBike.

By July 2026, competition intensified within the B-segment sedan market. The Honda City became the best-selling model in this segment for the second consecutive month, despite the Toyota Vios maintaining a higher cumulative sales volume for the year. To stimulate further competition, manufacturers began offering incentives such as 100% registration fee support.
