The lineup of cars set to launch in the Vietnamese market in early 2025
At the beginning of 2025, the Vietnamese car market is expected to welcome a variety of new models, most of which will be produced by Chinese manufacturers.

The facelifted version of the Audi A6, introduced in mid-December, will officially be available in Vietnam in early 2025. The car will be sold with the S line 40 TFSI configuration, priced from VND 2.299 billion.
The 2025 Audi A6 is imported directly from Germany. In Vietnam, this sedan will compete with rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW Series 5, and Lexus ES.
The new version of the Audi A6 has improvements in both exterior and interior design, giving it a more sporty and modern look. In terms of performance, it features a 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine, producing 190 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque, supported by mild-hybrid technology. The engine is paired with a 7-speed S tronic transmission.

An MG dealership in Hanoi has stated that the G50 will offer two options: a 7-seater and an 8-seater.

The lower version comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, while the higher trim features a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
According to some sources, the expected price of the G50 ranges from VND 550 million to VND 650 million, which is considered a key factor in helping the car compete in the mid-size MPV segment, especially targeting customers who purchase cars for service use.
