Explore the latest 2026 arrivals in Vietnam – from VinFast electric MPVs to the new Toyota Hilux pickup. Stay tuned for specs, prices and release dates!
Even though the Lunar New Year celebrations have just ended, Vietnam’s auto market is already buzzing with announcements for a wave of fresh models set to hit the roads in early 2026. From a sleek Japanese pickup to two all‑electric vehicles (EVs) from homegrown manufacturer VinFast, the lineup promises to reshape choices for families, business owners, and eco‑conscious drivers alike.
VinFast Unveils the Limo Home – An Electric Family MPV
Rumors circulating on social media suggest that VinFast will soon introduce a consumer‑focused version of its Limo Green EV, tentatively called Limo Home. The vehicle appears to have been refined inside and out, targeting families who need space without compromising on modern design.
- Exterior upgrades: LED “bird‑wing” daytime running lights replace the previous chrome strip, echoing the styling of the VF 8 and VF 9.
- Optional power‑folding side mirrors for tighter city parking.
- 19‑inch alloy wheels and a larger central infotainment screen for a premium feel.
Inside, the cabin is expected to feature full‑length synthetic leather upholstery, a cluster of multifunction buttons, and a revamped gear‑shift mechanism that moves the traditional rotary selector to a push‑button paddle situated behind the steering wheel. These tweaks aim to enhance comfort for long family trips.
Pricing, launch date, and production volume have not been confirmed by VinFast yet. If released, Limo Home could challenge established family MPVs such as the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross and Toyota Veloz Cross.
VF 3 Plus – A Feature‑Rich Refresh of VinFast’s Compact EV
Alongside the Limo Home, VinFast is also teasing a more equipped variant of its popular VF 3 compact electric car, dubbed VF 3 Plus. The core powertrain is expected to stay unchanged – a 40 hp electric motor delivering 110 Nm of torque, paired with an 18.64 kWh LFP battery that offers around 215 km (133 mi) per charge.
- Added conveniences: electrically adjustable and fold‑away side mirrors, sleek blacked‑out wheel arches, and a rear‑view camera.
- Interior refinements: an updated steering wheel with a hands‑free call button and extra voice‑control shortcuts, reminiscent of the earlier TC2 concept.
- Price bump: the base model’s price was recently nudged from VND 299 million to VND 302 million.
VinFast has not officially confirmed the VF 3 Plus, but the feature list indicates a push toward a more premium feel while retaining the affordable electric platform.
Toyota Hilux 2026 – A Modern Pickup for Vietnamese Roads
Dealers across Vietnam have begun receiving reservations for the next‑generation Toyota Hilux, slated for delivery as early as January 2026. Early leaks point to two drivetrain options:
- A manual‑shift 6‑speed gearbox.
- An automatic 6‑speed transmission, available in both single‑ and dual‑clutch variants.
The new Hilux is set to receive a comprehensive design refresh. Highlights include:
- A larger, high‑resolution central touchscreen with integrated navigation.
- Advanced cabin air filtration for finer dust particles.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
- Electrically adjustable seats for added driver comfort.
Pricing details remain unannounced, but the model will be available in three trims ranging roughly from VND 668 million to VND 999 million.
What This Means for the Vietnamese Auto Market
The upcoming releases underscore a rapid shift in Vietnam’s automotive landscape. While traditional internal‑combustion models still dominate, the acceleration of electric options from VinFast signals a growing appetite for greener mobility. Meanwhile, Toyota’s refreshed Hilux shows that legacy brands are also investing in modern tech to stay relevant.
Even without official price confirmations, dealer activity suggests a vibrant first quarter of 2026 for car buyers. Whether you’re hunting for a family‑friendly EV, a tech‑laden pickup, or an affordable compact electric car, the market is set to deliver a broader, more diverse selection than ever before.
Stay tuned for official launch dates, final specifications, and detailed pricing as these models roll out across Vietnam.
