In August, Xpander celebrated a milestone of 120,000 units sold in Vietnam, marking 8 years in the market and solidifying its position as the best-selling MPV in its segment. Despite the rising popularity of electric MPVs in Vietnam, gasoline-powered options like the Xpander remain a practical choice for customers who prefer not to deal with charging times and infrastructure, or simply enjoy the driving experience of a gasoline engine.
