Vietnam motor show cancelled
With the annual Vietnam Motor Show suspended, many automakers have reportedly begun holding their own brand events to showcase new models.
Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Suzuki each opted for standalone exhibitions, citing the need to reach customers directly and craft distinctive brand experiences.
Limited products in automotive sector
Vietnam’s auto market remains heavily dependent on single best-selling models, according to the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association.
In the first nine months of 2025, the Ford Ranger, Honda City, Mitsubishi Xpander, and Mazda CX-5 each accounted for around 36–50 percent of their brands’ total sales.
Dealers said this reliance shows limited product diversity and leaves companies exposed to risk as consumer preferences shift rapidly toward electric and hybrid vehicles.
