The Better Choice Awards 2026 were launched on 5 August 2026 at Hanoi’s National Innovation Center under the theme “Innovation Beyond Borders”. Co-organized by VCCorp, the NIC, the Department of Innovation, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, the programme comprises four award groups: Smart Choice (consumer technology), Car Choice (mobility), Innovative Choice (user-experience solutions), and the newly added Nation Builders category. Nation Builders will be judged through two parallel tracks: an expert council assessing contributions to infrastructure, energy, finance, strategic technology, and quality of life, and a public “Proud Vietnam” vote to select a Brand of the Year. The Car Choice segment, operating under the theme “Shaping The Next Drive,” has been expanded for its fifth season to recognize vehicle models, people, events, and initiatives. It features more than 15 categories grouped into Family, Trend, Style, and “Marks of the Year.” The Family category includes specific price-point subdivisions, such as vehicles under 600 million VND, 600 million to 1 billion VND, and 1 to 2 billion VND. The awards follow a consumer-centric philosophy of “not the best, but the most suitable,” covering gasoline, hybrid, and electric options. In September 2026, the Car Choice Awards announced nominees for its Top 5 industry events, highlighting manufacturing and export milestones. ~~Following this, mid-September~~ Mid-September rankings for the hybrid segment indicated a shift toward green technology. In the mass-market hybrid category, Chinese manufacturers currently lead the rankings, with the Jaecoo J5 SHS-H, Omoda C5 SHS-H, and Geely EX5 EM-i topping the votes, followed by South Korean models like the Hyundai Tucson HEV and Kia Sportage HEV. In the premium hybrid category, the Hyundai Palisade HEV holds the top spot, while the Honda CR-V e:HEV RS holds second place, ahead of the Lynk & Co 900 PHEV and Mazda CX-90 PHEV.
