This marks the second consecutive year the company has broken past sales records. In December alone, sales reached 8,960 units, setting a new monthly sales record as well as securing Mitsubishi Motors’ first-ever No.1 market share in Vietnam’s internal combustion vehicle (ICE) category*.
In Vietnam’s sales ranking by model in 2025, Mitsubishi Motors’ core model, the Xpander crossover MPV, led the MPV segment for the seventh year in a row and topped overall ICE vehicle sales for three consecutive years. The Xforce compact SUV also ranked first in the B‑SUV segment for two consecutive years and claimed the top position among all ICE vehicles in December, maintaining strong sales momentum. Furthermore, the all-new Destinator, a midsize SUV introduced in December last year, significantly boosted monthly sales.
Both the Xpander and Xforce have continued to earn strong support from families, further strengthening Mitsubishi Motors’ presence in the Vietnamese market. Meanwhile, the Destinator, which combines SUV driving performance with MPV-level comfort, has received high acclaim since its launch, reflecting strong expectations for this model in Vietnam.
