Leaderboard FAQ

Answers use the same data and method as above.

How we rank (n ≥ 20, shrinkage, 5% trim)
  • Real-world figures only with ≥ 20 cars, each with ≥ 3 months of data
  • Scores pulled towards the segment average so thin samples can't jump to the top
  • Top & bottom 5% dropped, anomalies filtered
  • Not enough data: projected by the CarCost engine (1,500 km/month, cash, HCMC fees)
  • No payment to add, hide or reorder anything
  • Read the full methodology
Which segment B cars have the lowest 5-year total cost in 2026?
In the data updated Oct 12, 2026, Geely EX2 ranks first with ₫507M, followed by Kia Soluto (₫551M) and Mitsubishi Attrage (₫569M).
Why are some cars marked “Projected”?
When fewer than 20 cars of a model share data, CarCost estimates it with the engine on standard assumptions: 1,500 km/month, cash purchase, HCMC fees. The model switches to “Real-world” once there is enough data.
How is the 5-year TCO computed?
Total cost of ownership over 5 years — depreciation, energy, maintenance, tyres, insurance, fees and parking — computed by the CarCost engine at 1,500 km/month, cash purchase, HCMC fees and current data prices.
Can car brands pay to rank higher?
No. CarCost does not sell positions and every board uses the same public method. A row under review may be hidden temporarily, which never changes the other cars' ranks.
