Receive cars just 2 months after deposit
On December 26, VinFast’s fanpage officially announced the delivery date of the VF 6 smart electric car model to customers, which surprised many people. Specifically, after 3 months of launch in the Vietnamese market (September 29, 2023), the first commercial VF 6 cars will officially hit the road on December 30, 2023.

The information immediately became a hot topic on car forums. Customers who have deposited for VinFast’s B-SUV model are excited to receive their cars before Tet, serving their family’s transportation needs and being able to celebrate the Lunar New Year in their favorite car. “What I like the most is not having to pay extra money to receive the car before Tet like many gasoline car buyers. I am very satisfied with VinFast’s fair and thoughtful customer care,” shared Hau Vu on an electric car forum, receiving many supportive comments from members.
What is especially impressive is that VinFast will deliver the VF 6 cars just 2 months after the deposit. This period of time is equivalent to the waiting time for some gasoline car models in the market, but only VF 6 customers can experience the excitement of being one of the first people in the world to own a completely new car model. This further confirms the reputation of the Vietnamese automaker, as it keeps its commitment to delivering cars to customers in 2023. “VinFast is true to its word,” shared Thanh Nguyen, an excited customer who was contacted by VinFast to receive his car.
Therefore, VF 6 will be the 5th electric car model of VinFast officially launched, following VF e34, VF 8, VF 9, and VF 5 Plus. With the delivery of VF 6 just 2 months after the pre-order (October 20, 2023), VinFast is demonstrating its ability to master technology and optimize the production process, as the time from deposit to delivery is gradually reduced.
The irresistible appeal of the national electric car model VinFast VF 6
Belonging to the B-SUV segment, VF 6 is positioned as a car model for Vietnamese families. It was first introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show CES 2022 in the US on January 6, 2022, along with other electric car models in VinFast’s product range. In the Vietnamese market, the car was officially launched on September 29, 2023, and started accepting deposits on October 20, 2023.
VF 6 Plus features a superior 150 kW engine and 310 Nm in the B segment.
VF 6 has two versions: Base and Plus. The Base version has a listed price of 675 million VND (excluding battery) and 765 million VND (including battery); the Plus version has a listed price of 765 million VND (excluding battery) and 855 million VND (including battery). Both versions of VF 6 are equipped with an LFP battery with a capacity of 59.6 kWh, providing a corresponding operating range of 399 km and 381 km per full charge (according to WLTP standard). The electric motor has a maximum power of 100 kW and 150 kW, corresponding to a maximum torque of 135 Nm and 310 Nm, superior to gasoline car models in the same segment, providing an exciting and exhilarating driving experience.
Like other members of VinFast’s “electric vehicle family,” VF 6 possesses advanced technologies and intelligent features such as pre-collision warning, lane change warning, front/rear parking assistance, blind-spot warning, 360-degree surround view monitoring, VinFast virtual assistant with multi-dialect Vietnamese voice interaction to control the car and ask questions, and tell jokes.
Especially, starting from early 2024, VinFast will add more ADAS features to VF 6 (Plus version) through free remote software updates, such as: support for moving in congested traffic, highway driving assistance, lane keeping assistance and lane centering control, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, emergency braking (front/rear), etc., making the car smarter over time and bringing new experiences to users.
Customers who have placed a deposit for VF 6 will start receiving their cars from December 30, 2023.
The VF 6 is subject to a monthly battery lease fee of only 1.8 million VND if the mileage is below 3,000 km/month, and 3 million VND if the mileage is above 3,000 km/month (unlimited mileage). According to calculations, the electric B-SUV has an energy cost of less than 500 VND/km, which is 2 to 3 times lower than gasoline cars in the same segment.
In addition to energy costs, the VF 6 also has the advantage of very cheap maintenance costs as it has a simpler structure with an electric motor powertrain compared to traditional gasoline cars, resulting in significantly fewer repair and replacement parts. The more it is driven, the more cost-saving the VF 6 electric car owner will enjoy. This is one of the advantages that quickly wins the hearts of many Vietnamese families.
