VinFast VF 3

Vietnam’s VinFast has introduced an electric mini SUV, the VF 3. It is designed specifically for Vietnam. The manufacturer promises a low price, some personalization options, high clearance, and an impressive range. Orders for VF 3 will open in September, but actual sales will start only in the third quarter of 2024.

This is an electric car for the mass market, a potential “people’s car”. Sales taxes on electric cars are low in Vietnam, unlike fuel cars, so it could work out. The VF 3 is only slightly over three meters long. It has three doors and five seats, as well as “adequate ground clearance” and 16-inch wheels.

The manufacturer claims two versions – Eco and Plus, several body paint options, minimalist interior with a basic set of features and impressive range for the segment. In general, VF 3 reminds something of Baojun Yep.
