The Spark, Captiva and Cruze have accounted for more than 62 per cent of production and sales. The Cruze entered the list of the 10 best-selling vehicles in Vietnam in September.
In August, Chevrolet introduced the Chevrolet Complete Care customer service programme, which is being implemented nationwide.

GM Vietnam assembles vehicles at its facility in Hanoi. Its vehicles are sold through 18 Chevrolet dealerships across the country. It has also exported about 500 vehicles, making it the first automaker in Vietnam to export small cars.
“GM Vietnam and our employees will continue to build and sell products that offer world-class design, performance, quality and safety, backed by best-in-class service,” said Farghaly. “With our philosophy of putting the customer at the centre of everything we do, we look forward to capturing the hearts of more vehicle buyers.”
