Hanoi (VNA) – As many as 6,704 Hyundai-branded vehicles were delivered to customers in Vietnam last December, up 22.7% month on month, the Thanh Cong Group (TC Group) reported on January 9.
TC Group, which manufactures and distributes Hyundai vehicles in the country via the Hyundai Thanh Cong Vietnam joint venture, said this result reflected a positive signal of market recovery in the year-end period.
Hyundai Creta was the best-selling model in December, with 1,696 units sold, up 37.2% month on month. For the whole year, this B-segment SUV model recorded 9,046 units sold.
It was followed by Hyundai Tucson with 1,401 units delivered last month, up 39.7% from November. With a total of 9,243 cars sold, Tucson was the best-selling model of Hyundai Thanh Cong in 2025.
Hyundai Accent ranked third with 788 units sold in December, a 20.1% increase from the previous month, bringing its total sales for 2025 to 7,088 units.
The following positions were occupied by Hyundai Grand i10 with 381 units, Hyundai Stargazer with 335 units, and Hyundai Venue with 267 units.
In the mid-size and large vehicle segments, Hyundai Santa Fe recorded 242 units delivered, Hyundai Custin 152 units, Hyundai Palisade 134 units, and Hyundai Elantra 74 units in December.
Hyundai's commercial vehicle segment continued to make a significant contribution with 1,218 units sold last month, demonstrating stable demand from corporate customers and the transport sector.
In 2025, sales reached 53,229 vehicles across the market. This result is considered a testament to the efforts by TC Group, Hyundai Thanh Cong, and the entire Hyundai dealership network nationwide amidst a volatile market.
Entering 2026, Hyundai Thanh Cong Vietnam announced it will continue to implement a series of new promotional programmes and sales policies, including extended warranties up to 8 years or 120,000 km (depending on conditions), price discounts of up to 220 million VND, and interest rate support from 0%.
