Which cars have sold the least since the beginning of 2022?
Besides expensive car models that few people can afford and sell in limited quantities, there are also cheaper models that have very low sales figures.

According to the latest report from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association (VAMA), total sales of VAMA members in November reached 36,371 vehicles, a decrease of 0.5% compared to October and a decrease of 6% compared to the same period last November. Many models continued to experience sluggish sales, with only a few units sold in a month.
Notably, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado did not sell a single unit in November 2022. This is a large 7-seater SUV imported directly from Japan, using a 2.7-liter, 4-cylinder gasoline engine. Currently, Toyota Vietnam distributes only one version of this model, priced at 2.548 billion VND.
Only two Alphard models were sold in November 2022. As Toyota's most expensive model in the Vietnamese market, sales haven't been good. Toyota Vietnam currently sells the 2021 Alphard model in two color options: white priced at 4.227 billion VND and other colors priced at 4.219 billion VND.
Of those, only 9 units of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 GX 470 were sold. The new generation Toyota Land Cruiser was launched in the Vietnamese market in mid-2021. The car sold in Vietnam is only available in a single version equipped with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 gasoline engine, priced from 4.06 billion VND.
According to VAMA, in the first 11 months of the year, many car models also had rather modest sales figures. Notably, Suzuki accounted for three models on the list: Ciaz, Swift, and Ertiga.

In particular, Suzuki Ertiga's sales have declined since the XL7 was launched in Vietnam, despite having a similar price but a more attractive design.
In addition, the Isuzu mU-X and D-Max, which consistently rank among the slowest-selling vehicles each month, also appear on this list. Besides commercial vehicles, Isuzu currently sells only one passenger car model, the mU-X, and the D-Max pickup truck in Vietnam.
