Vietnam’s automotive market is revving up just weeks after the Lunar New Year, with several manufacturers teasing fresh models slated for early 2026.
VinFast’s Limo Home – A Family‑Focused Electric MPV
VinFast is reportedly ready to launch a new version of its Limo Green electric MPV aimed at private‑owner families. Codenamed “Limo Home,” the vehicle will feature a host of refinements, including 19‑inch alloy wheels, upgraded LED “bird‑wing” headlights (similar to the VF8 and VF9), and power‑folding side mirrors.
Inside, the cabin will be wrapped in synthetic leather, and the steering wheel will lose the traditional gear‑shift knob in favour of a push‑button gear selector behind the wheel. The central infotainment screen is expected to grow in size, and additional shortcut keys will be added to the dash.
Pricing and launch dates have not been confirmed, but analysts expect Limo Home to challenge family‑oriented MPVs such as the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross and Toyota Veloz Cross.
VinFast VF 3 Plus – Upgraded Trim for the Existing Electric Hatchback
Alongside the Limo Home, VinFast may roll out a “VF 3 Plus” trim for the current VF 3 electric hatchback. The Plus version is rumored to add electric‑adjustable and folding side mirrors, black‑out wheel arches, and a rear‑view camera.
Inside, the steering wheel could receive a new design with hands‑free call buttons, echoing features shown on the earlier TC2 concept. Powertrain specifications are expected to stay the same – a 40 hp electric motor delivering 110 Nm of torque, paired with an 18.64 kWh LFP battery offering roughly 215 km (133 mi) per charge.
Toyota Hilux 2026 – The Next‑Gen Pickup Arrives in Vietnam
Dealers have already taken deposits for the upcoming generation of the Toyota Hilux, with deliveries projected from January 2026. The new Hilux will be offered with three power‑train options: a six‑speed manual, an automatic, and a dual‑clutch automatic.
Key upgrades include a larger touchscreen, a fine‑dust air filter, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and electrically adjustable seats. The exterior adopts a more modern, high‑tech styling that moves away from the utilitarian look of the current model.
Pricing details remain under wraps, but the three‑trim lineup is expected to sit between VND 668 million and VND 999 million (≈ USD 28k‑42k).
What This Means for the Vietnamese Market
The early‑2026 roll‑out of these models underscores the intensifying competition for market share in Vietnam. While official price tags are pending, dealer activity suggests a lively first quarter for car buyers seeking electric mobility or a refreshed pickup.
Stay tuned for official announcements from VinFast, Toyota, and other brands as they fine‑tune their strategies for Vietnam’s fast‑growing automotive sector.
