As expected, the VinFast VF 3 mini-eSUV model made an impressive and eye-catching debut in the global market at the CES 2024 Consumer Electronics Show.
Personality, modernity, and attraction… those are the initial impressions of the new “element” that is expected to shake up the market of the Vietnamese car brand.
VinFast booth at CES 2024 crowded with visitors admiring the VF 3
On the morning of January 10, 2024 (Vietnam time), the special and impressive debut of the VF 3 at the CES 2024 Exhibition attracted the attention of many visitors. Hundreds of people attending the exhibition flocked to VinFast’s booth at Booth 6417, Las Vegas Convention Center, waiting for the explosive and exciting introduction of the VinFast’s “newcomer”.
The stylish and youthful minicar from VinFast is one of the notable highlights of this year’s exhibition as the current electric car market is lacking small, smart, and convenient electric car models. The VF 3 is expected to “shake up” the small car segment with its practicality, convenience, and creativity.
Appearing at CES 2024 with a youthful exterior, square angular geometric shapes, and trendy accents, the VF 3 has received countless compliments for its design. Auto Express magazine in the UK remarked that the boxy design and truly compact dimensions add to the “cuteness” factor of the VF 3. This design also reflects the dynamic personality of the owner, especially suitable for young customers. The high ground clearance and 16-inch alloy wheels promise to provide flexible maneuverability for this model even in off-road terrains.
With dimensions of 3,190 x 1,679 x 1,622 (mm) in length, width, and height, VF 3 is considered suitable for urban transportation, providing easy maneuverability and practicality for the driver. Its compact size and two-door arrangement make it ideal for narrow urban roads. In addition, a range of 210 km per full charge is also suitable to meet the operational needs within the city for users.
There have been rumors that the global sales version may have some adjustments to suit the characteristics of each market. However, in general, the cabin space of the VF 3 is quite spacious compared to the mini-car segment. Particularly, the flat-folding rear seats increase the total cargo volume to 550 liters, equivalent to that of a compact four-door hatchback.
Notably, the VF 3 integrates essential smart features, providing a comfortable and convenient driving experience. The diverse infotainment system with a 10-inch screen, integrated with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, will meet the daily entertainment needs of users.
VF 3 demonstrates the appeal of mini electric cars in the global market
From the very beginning, VinFast’s booth has always attracted a crowd, capturing impressive images of the VF 3. According to Auto123, most visitors share the same impression that VinFast’s mini-eSUV is very attractive and appealing.
The reception for VinFast VF 3 at one of the largest technology exhibitions on the planet has shown the strong appeal of VinFast’s newcomer in the global electric car market. Joining VinFast’s diverse electric car ecosystem, the VF 3 is an urban electric car suitable for urban commuting and positioned in an affordable price segment for everyone. Many experts believe that this is the main advantage that could become the core strength of the VF 3 when entering markets outside Vietnam. Prior to its debut at CES 2024, VinFast’s mini electric car received positive feedback from consumers in Vietnam through various exhibitions.
In particular, many retailers in the US have expressed great interest in this mini-eSUV as the US market has few options for small, smart, and affordable electric cars. Currently, most mini electric car models here are priced from $20,000 – $30,000 or higher.
Therefore, with the global launch and the planned sale of VF 3 in many markets, VinFast will provide another excellent choice for those who want to use an electric car with a model that is suitable in all aspects: needs, quality, and price. The VF 3 may be the key to VinFast’s breakthrough success in the US market, according to Carscoops.
Currently, VinFast has not announced the official price, sales commencement date, and delivery of vehicles in each market. However, the company is expected to start accepting early orders for the VF 3 as early as this year.
