VinFast Limo Green: 7-seat electric MPV challenges Xpander
Selling 2,120 cars in September, VinFast Limo Green surpassed Mitsubishi Xpander to lead the MPV segment. Priced at 749 million VND, widely present in the Green SM service fleet.
VinFast Limo Green had an impressive opening month in Vietnam with 2,120 cars sold in September, surpassing the 1,792 cars of Mitsubishi Xpander to temporarily lead the MPV segment. The new 7-seat pure electric MPV, priced at 749 million VND, has now been deployed on a large scale in the Green SM service fleet and provided to both individual customers and transport businesses.
The article focuses on Limo Green's product picture and market positioning based on sales figures, selling prices and competitive landscape recorded in the September reporting period.
Limo Green dethrones Xpander: the numbers speak for themselves
In the MPV segment that has long been dominated by Xpander, Limo Green made a breakthrough when reaching 2,120 cars in September, slightly more than 1,792 cars of its Japanese competitor. This is a remarkable result for a new car model, especially when the MPV segment in Vietnam often has high consumer inertia.
In addition to the sales channel for individual customers, being chosen as the platform for Xanh SM Limo's 7-seat fleet (gray or black) helps Limo Green quickly appear densely on the streets, strengthening brand coverage and market penetration speed.
| Car model | Segment | September sales | List price |
|---|---|---|---|
| VinFast Limo Green | 7-seat electric MPV | 2,120 vehicles | 749 million VND |
| Mitsubishi Xpander | Small MPV | 1,792 vehicles | 560–699 million VND |
Product philosophy of 7-seat electric MPV
Limo Green appears as a pure electric 7-seat MPV option for the Vietnamese market, competing directly with popular and mid-range internal combustion engine MPVs such as the BYD M6. From a strategic perspective, the pure electric configuration helps the manufacturer expand its customer base for service fleets, while the nature of the 7-seat MPV meets the transportation needs of families and businesses.
Limo Green's role in the SM Limo Green service shows its priority positioning in exploiting high-end passenger transport of 7 people, aiming for a stable experience and a synchronized fleet image.
Cabin and user experience according to service operation needs
From the actual deployment of the fleet, it can be seen that Limo Green is oriented towards the need to transport 7 people. The common priorities of this customer group include convenient in/out experience, sufficient space and uniform equipment to optimize fleet operation. The current data source does not detail the material, seat layout or specific amenities, so the qualitative assessments in this section need to be updated when there is an official announcement.
Operations and performance: what the data says
The Limo Green is a pure electric MPV. The September data source does not provide power, battery capacity, range or power consumption. Therefore, the article does not speculate on power or driving feel. From a market perspective, sales growth and presence in the service fleet are two positive indicators of the ability to meet operational requirements in real-world scenarios.
Safety and driver assistance: more official information needed
The source document does not yet disclose the active/passive safety configuration or driver assistance systems on the Limo Green (e.g., Stop & Go adaptive cruise control, collision warning, or independent safety ratings). When full technical data becomes available, the ADAS ratings, number of airbags, and testing standards will be updated.
Competitive pricing and positioning
Limo Green is priced at 749 million VND; according to the manufacturer, the current rolling cost is just over 700 million VND thanks to incentive programs. On the other side, Mitsubishi Xpander has 4 versions, priced at 560-699 million VND, with AT Premium and Xpander Cross just upgraded at the end of September. The difference in powertrain (pure electric vs. internal combustion engine) creates two distinct value propositions in the same budget range.
In the broader picture of the market in September, Toyota Yaris Cross suddenly accelerated to lead the B-size SUV with 1,964 cars, slightly ahead of VinFast VF 6 (1,933 cars), but in the cumulative 9 months, VF 6 still surpassed (14,425 cars compared to 9,655 cars). In the B-size sedan group, Toyota Vios regained the top spot in September with 1,292 cars, while Honda City decreased to 475 cars. These fluctuations show that Vietnamese users are responding flexibly to new products and sales programs.
| Segment | Car model | September sales | Cumulative sales (9 months) | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B-size SUV | Toyota Yaris Cross | 1,964 vehicles | 9,655 vehicles | 650 million; 765 million VND |
| B-size SUV | VinFast VF 6 | 1,933 cars | 14,425 vehicles | 689 million; 745 million VND |
| B-size sedan | Toyota Vios | 1,292 vehicles | 8,496 vehicles | 458; 488; 545 million VND |
| B-size sedan | Honda City | 475 cars | 6,377 vehicles | 499; 539; 569 million VND |

- Positioning the 7-seat pure electric MPV, quickly selected by the Green SM Limo team.
- Price 749 million VND, currently on the road for just over 700 million VND according to the incentive program.
Points to clarify when considering buying a car:
