Record run

VinFast has crossed a major line in Vietnam’s car market. By the end of September 2025, the company had sold 103,884 vehicles for the year, becoming the first brand in the country to pass the 100,000 mark within the first three quarters. The September tally alone reached 13,914 units.

The brand’s run has been steady. VinFast says it has led monthly sales in Vietnam for 11 straight months, as its share of the market kept rising. That streak set up the record it now holds.

A big portion of the growth came from its smallest model. The VF 3, the city-friendly EV widely seen on local roads, is the company’s top seller so far this year with 31,386 units. In September, it added 2,682 units.

The VF 5 sits next. It posted 30,956 units from January to September, with 3,847 sold in September. VinFast also offers a service-focused VF 5 variant under the Herio Green program. That version has reached 8,604 units in total, including 2,173 in September.

Further up the range, the VF 6 has logged 14,425 units so far this year, with 1,933 in September. The company notes that more VF 6 orders are in the pipeline, which means deliveries will continue.

The VF 7, VinFast’s compact SUV entry, has 5,877 units over nine months and 778 in September.

VinFast’s seven-seat MPV configured for the Limo Green service business reached the top of its segment in September with 2,120 deliveries.

With the year’s peak buying season now underway, VinFast says it has the capacity to keep up. The company is producing vehicles out of factories in Hai Phong and Ha Tinh and is aiming for more milestones by December.

Company leadership framed the sales figures as a vote of confidence from local buyers. “Behind the sales of more than 100,000 cars are millions of customers’ support and trust in VinFast. We are extremely grateful to consumers and committed to making continuous efforts to continue bringing more practical benefits to customers, thereby strongly promoting the green transformation in Vietnam,” Duong Thi Thu Trang, VinFast’s deputy general director for global sales and marketing, said.

VinFast points to a larger shift in the market, saying that for 11 months, it has outpaced both foreign gasoline and electric brands, and that local buyers are choosing domestic nameplates more often than before. The company also casts record sales as a sign that EVs have moved into the mainstream in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese carmaker has hit a milestone that once seemed out of reach, and it did so on the back of electric models that are finding a broad audience at home.
