The Vietnamese new car market continues to gallop upwards, with sales up 45% in May to 26.028, lifting the year-to-date total up 31% to 111.442 units. Thaco-Kia remains the most popular manufacturer at 7.388 units (+41%) mainly thanks to heavy commercial vehicles. It is followed by Toyota (+10%), Mazda (+94%) and Ford (+33%) while Hyundai is up 222% to 5th place, here too thanks to commercials. Over in the models ranking, the Ford Ranger manages a second consecutive month atop the charts thanks to sales up 31% to 1.074, edging past the Toyota Vios at 1.066 (+23%) and the Toyota Fortuner at 1.025 (+31%). The Mazda3 continues to perform brilliantly with sales up a whopping 185% on a year ago to 890, ahead of the Kia Morning and Toyota Innova. The Mazda CX-5 (+136%) and Kia K3 (+100%) also frankly beat the market.
