Tiny but mighty: Vietnamese auto maker VinFast has officially launched the VF 3, a small electric SUV designed initially for the Vietnam market.
The VF 3 “is also equipped with smart features, providing a dynamic mobility option for individuals of all backgrounds.”
It is VinFast’s initial step into the small SUV market. Though the VF 3 was designed to cater to Vietnamese domestic conditions, it has been revealed in California to gauge demand from other markets.
It is 3,114mm long and features a two-door design, a rear trunk, and “sufficient interior space to accommodate up to five people”. Maybe not five big Kiwi blokes though.
The body equipped with 16-inch wheels. The exterior design is characterised by bold geometric blocks and strong lines that run consistently from the front to the back, creating an eye-catching appearance.
Notably, the square headlights and rearview mirror, as well as the stylised V-shaped bird logo on the front and rear bumpers, serve as prominent features that establish a cohesive design language, lending a dynamic visual appeal to the overall car design. With the aim of bringing a model which is for everyone, VinFast VF 3 will offer consumers a range of colour options to choose from, further enhancing its customsation possibilities. In the interior, the VF 3 is designed to be minimalist to optimize the space for five people to sit inside the car. Basic smart features are fully integrated, ensuring a comfortable and convenient user experience.
The car is equipped with an electric motor and battery that offer an impressive travel distance, catering to the needs and daily usage patterns of most Vietnamese drivers. VinFast will begin accepting local orders this month.
The VF 3 will come in two trims, Eco and Plus, and be accessibly priced for mass appeal while providing a safe, convenient, and smart transportation solution. With its outstanding advantages of zero emissions, noise-free operation, environmental friendliness and high safety standards, VF 3 has the potential to become the new “national vehicle” for the Vietnamese people. It can help fulfill the “car dreams” of millions of families while improving living standards and serving as a powerful catalyst for the widespread adoption of electric cars in Vietnam.
