3 extremely "hot" cars are about to be launched in the Vietnamese market
Hyundai Santa Fe 2015, Mazda 3 and Rolls-Royce Ghost series II are 3 car models that will be launched in the Vietnamese market in early December.
It seems that no car company wants to miss the year-end shopping season, because this is the time when consumers spend the most. The Vietnam Auto Show 2014 just took place and witnessed dozens of new car models being launched in the Vietnamese market.
Not to be outdone, car manufacturers that did not participate in the recent exhibition also simultaneously introduced their latest models at the end of the year. Last week, Renault launched the 5-door Megane Hatchback, and in the first days of December, models from Hyundai, Mazda and Rolls-Royce will also be introduced to the Vietnamese market.
