New car sales in Vietnam enjoy their 13th consecutive month of year-on-year growth at a mammoth +26% in April to 10,116 registrations. This brings the year-to-date total to 34,284 units, up an equally impressive 28% on 2013. The Full Year 2014 prediction from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association now stands at 125,000 units, a conservative 14% up 2013. Down to #2 so far in 2014 whereas it dominated the Full Year 2013 models charts, the Toyota Fortuner is back into pole position in April thanks to 687 sales and 6.8% market share, but the big event this month is the 2nd place of the Toyota Vios only 11 units below the Fortuner at 676 and 6.7% share: the new generation of the model has clearly struck a chord with Vietnamese car buyers.

Can the Toyota Fortuner reclaims its throne this year?

Still leader year-to-date, the Toyota Innova is down two spots on March to third place with 640 sales and 6.3% while the Kia Picanto is up one rank to #4, passing the Toyota Camry down to #5. Excellent month of the Ford Ranger up to 7th place thanks to 351 units and 3.5% share, the Kia K3 impresses with a Top 10 month at #10 and the Nissan Sunny stabilises around the 20th place at #21 both this month and year-to-date.
