Vinfast has crossed the milestone of 1 lakh sales in Vietnam in only 9 months.

Vinfast has recorded an important milestone of becoming the first domestic manufacturer to record sales of over 1 lakh vehicles within the first three quarters of the year. The company has achieved these iconic sales figures just after 11 consecutive months as Vietnam’s best selling brand, showing its worth in both electric and traditional vehicles. 

As per official figures, Vinfast has recorded sales of 13,914 electric vehicles alone in the month of September 2025. If we analyse the cumulative sales between the time period from January to September amounting to 1,03,884 units, which is the highest amount of sales in Vietnam’s automotive history. 

Which Models helped Vinfast achieve this feat?

Out of the Vinfast’s lineup of electric cars, the VinFast VF3 has achieved highest number of sales and has also bagged the title of “The National Electric Car” as it has sold more than 31,386 units in the first nine months, which includes 2,682 units in September only. 

The other key contributors in the list are as follows:- 

• VF5 registered sales of 30,956 units in the month of (Jan-Sep), which also includes 3,847 units in September. 
• Herio Green, which is basically a fleet variant of VF5, has recorded sales of 8,604 cumulative units, with 2,173 units in September. 
• VF6 recorded sales of 14,425 units, with 1,933 units alone in September. 
• VF7 sales were around 5,877 units total, 778 in September.
• Limo Green MPV amounted to 2,120 units delivered in September, becoming a segment leader among premium commercial vehicles. 

With just 3 months left in 2025, Vinfast is expected to conclude this year with an even higher amount of sales. The Global Deputy CEO of Sales and Marketing, Duong Thi Thu Trang expressed his views on the achievement and said, “Apart from the figure of 1 lakh vehicles, there are millions of users who have supported our customers.  

We are delighted by watching this amazing response from our consumers and remain committed to deliver ever greater value, thus enhancing Vietnam’s green revolution.”

What impact will it have on India?

Vinfast’s success story is highly relatable for India’s evolving EV market as just like Vietnam, India’s car market is currently led by conventional internal combustion engines, but the significant rise of VinFast shows how government support, local manufacturing, and cost-effective compact EVs can transform consumer approach. 

Thus if the same strategy is implemented in India, it can result in rapid expansion of EVs in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, with compact and affordable models like VF3 reflecting what Indian manufacturers are trying to achieve with entry-level EVs such as Tata Punch EV and Citroen eC3. 

VinFast’s achievements also highlight the scope of growth in Southeast Asia as an EV hub, thus creating tons of opportunities for cross-market partnerships or exports to India, once trade and production networks grow abundantly.
