With a year‑end bonus of roughly 700 million VND (about US$30,000), many families in Vietnam start hunting for a compact SUV that balances price, practicality and a dash of style. Below we break down the most compelling options that stay under the 700 million VND “on‑the‑road” threshold, including taxes, registration and other fees.
Suzuki Fronx GLX – Youthful Design, Light‑Hybrid Power
The Suzuki Fronx GLX is a fresh‑looking A‑segment crossover that targets young drivers who want a modern look without breaking the bank. It packs a mild‑hybrid 1.5 L K15C engine paired with a small electric motor, delivering a combined 97.9 hp and 135 Nm of torque. While the GLX trims lack premium tech like a HUD, 360° camera or power‑adjustable seats, they do include cruise control and two extra speakers over the base model.
Listed at VND 599 million, the on‑road price (including registration, insurance and taxes) ranges from VND 662 million to VND 693 million depending on the province.
VinFast VF 6 Eco – Affordable Electric SUV
For buyers interested in an electric vehicle, the VinFast VF 6 Eco offers a spacious B‑segment crossover at a very competitive price. Its 201 hp electric motor and 59.6 kWh LFP battery give a claimed range of about 381 km per charge.
After factory incentives, the VF 6 Eco is priced around VND 632 million. The total cost to drive (including registration) sits at approximately VND 638.8 million in most provinces and VND 657.7 million in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Mitsubishi Xforce GLX – Rugged Practicality
The Mitsubishi Xforce GLX is the most affordable entry in the brand’s new “customer‑magnet” SUV line. Its 1.5 L MIVEC engine coupled with a CVT offers reliable performance, while a ground clearance of 222 mm helps tackle city curbs and light water crossings.
Standard equipment is modest – manual‑adjustable seats and basic infotainment – but the rear‑seat width and multi‑position seat recline give it a leg‑up on rivals. Priced at VND 599 million on paper, the on‑road cost falls between VND 660 million and VND 690 million.
Hyundai Creta – Trusted Value in the B‑Segment
The Hyundai Creta Standard trim is a solid choice for those who prefer a neutral design and an extensive dealer network. It retains essential safety gear such as ABS, EBD and electronic stability control, though it lacks the higher‑end SmartSense suite.
A 1.5 L SmartStream engine produces 115 hp and is paired with an IVT for smooth city cruising. After dealer discounts, the Creta’s on‑road price sits between VND 662 million and VND 693 million.
Omoda C5 Premium – Tech‑Heavy Chinese Challenger
Chinese automaker Chery’s Omoda C5 Premium stands out with a futuristic façade, dual‑screen cockpit, wireless charging and an ADAS suite that many local competitors omit.
Under the hood sits a turbocharged 1.5 L petrol unit delivering 145 hp. With a competitive list price, the total cost to own lands in the VND 650 million‑VND 680 million bracket, making it an attractive high‑tech alternative for younger families.
Which Model Suits You?
All five SUVs stay under the 700 million VND budget once taxes and registration are factored in. Your decision will hinge on priorities: electric efficiency (VinFast VF 6), youthful styling (Suzuki Fronx), rugged practicality (Mitsubishi Xforce), proven reliability (Hyundai Creta) or cutting‑edge tech (Omoda C5).
