While the Lunar New Year celebrations are still echoing through the streets, Vietnam’s automotive scene is already revving up for a wave of fresh models scheduled for early 2026. From locally‑engineered electric MPVs to a sleek, tech‑laden pickup from Japan, the upcoming line‑up promises to reshape the market dynamics.
VinFast Unveils the Limo Home – An Electric MPV Tailored for Families
VinFast is reportedly preparing to launch a consumer‑focused version of its Limo Green electric sedan, tentatively named Limo Home. The vehicle has been spotted in leaked social‑media images sporting a set of 19‑inch alloy wheels and a revised front fascia that swaps the chrome bar for a bird‑wing LED matrix—similar to the styling cues of the VF 8 and VF 9.
Inside, the cabin will feature full synthetic‑leather upholstery, a larger central infotainment screen, and a new layout for the gear‑shift lever, which moves from the traditional rotary knob to a floor‑mounted push‑type lever. Additional touches include power‑folding side mirrors, electrically adjustable rear‑view mirrors, and a suite of convenience buttons on the steering wheel.
Although VinFast has not confirmed pricing or launch dates, industry insiders expect the Limo Home to challenge popular family MPVs such as the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross and Suzuki Veloz Cross once it hits showrooms.
VinFast VF 3 Plus – The First Major Upgrade for the Compact EV
The company is also teasing a refreshed version of its entry‑level electric hatchback, the VF 3 Plus. While the powertrain remains unchanged—40 hp electric motor delivering 110 Nm of torque and an 18.64 kWh LFP battery with an estimated 215 km range—the upgrade focuses on equipment.
- Power‑folding, electrically adjustable side mirrors
- New wheel covers and rear‑view camera
- Re‑engineered steering wheel with hands‑free call button and additional multifunction keys, echoing the premium TC2 concept
Price adjustments have already been hinted at, with the base VF 3 moving from VND 299 million to VND 302 million at the end of November, suggesting the Plus variant will sit slightly higher in the price band.
Toyota Hilux 2026 – A Modern Pickup for the Vietnamese Market
Toyota dealers have begun taking deposits for the next‑generation Hilux, slated for a 2026 release in Vietnam. The upcoming model is expected to launch with three power‑train options: a manual 2‑speed transfer case, an automatic transmission, and a fully automatic 4‑speed gearbox.
Key upgrades include a larger touchscreen infotainment system, a high‑efficiency particulate filter, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and electrically adjustable seats. The exterior receives a sharper design language, moving away from the boxy “utility” look of the current Hilux to a more aerodynamic silhouette.
Pricing details remain under wraps, but the new Hilux is rumored to be offered in three trims ranging from VND 668 million to VND 999 million.
What This Means for Vietnam’s Early‑2026 Automotive Landscape
These launches signal a rapid acceleration in competition for Vietnam’s growing car market. Even without official price announcements, dealer activity and leaked specifications suggest a vibrant first quarter for consumers eager for electric mobility and modern pickup capabilities.
Stay tuned as more details emerge—whether you’re a potential buyer, an industry analyst, or simply an automotive enthusiast, 2026 promises to be a pivotal year for Vietnam’s roadways.
