Personalized design, spacious interior, powerful driving experience, and a range of safety technology and features – these are the reasons why users and Car Awards 2023 judges voted VF 6 as the “Car of the Year” in the B-SUV segment.
Here are 5 reasons why the Vietnamese electric B-SUV model dominates its segment.
Reasonable cost, most accessible among B-SUV models
As a model targeting family customers, VF 6 is highly rated for surprisingly affordable ownership and usage costs. With the option of renting a premium battery, the listed price of the car is only 675 million VND (Base version) and 765 million VND (Plus version), equivalent to the price range of Seltos or Yaris Cross. However, thanks to the policy of 0% registration fee for electric vehicles, plus additional incentives for early bookings, VF 6 only requires an additional 2 million VND to hit the road in Hanoi. In contrast, for gasoline cars, users have to pay an additional 70 to over 90 million VND because they no longer enjoy the 50% registration fee reduction policy.
VF 6 has overwhelming scores from reader votes due to its exceptional user experience
Furthermore, VF 6 also leads the green transportation trend and expands the opportunity for users to own electric cars with extremely low operating costs. According to calculations, with a 59.6 kWh battery pack, the car can travel up to 399 km, and the average operating cost per km for VF 6 is about 1,100 VND (including the cost of renting the battery for 3,000 km/month), significantly cheaper than the minimum average cost of 1,600 VND/km for gasoline competitors.
Powerful and stable performance, with a smooth driving experience like a premium car
VF 6 has 2 electric motor versions with different power outputs, delivering maximum power of 174 horsepower and 201 horsepower, corresponding to maximum torque of 250 Nm and 310 Nm, surpassing the Seltos and Yaris Cross candidates, and even many cars in the C segment.
Especially, VF 6 is one of the rare models in the segment equipped with a multi-link rear suspension system. According to the evaluations of many experts, VF 6 has good vibration damping capabilities, a solid body, and stability when cornering and steering. In fact, the suspension system on VF 6 is described by many users as “providing a relaxing feel like a premium car”.
VF 6 also outperforms its segment’s competitors with its robust 5-spoke alloy wheels up to 19 inches, enhancing its stylish appearance. In contrast, gasoline models in the segment are only equipped with modest 16-17-inch wheels.
Rich features, diverse conveniences, superior safety
Inheriting VinFast’s “Technology DNA”, in addition to essential safety features such as ABS anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution EBD, electronic stability control ESC, VF 6 is equipped with an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) with modern features such as blind spot warning, front/rear parking assistance, rearview camera, surround view monitoring, etc.
An award that accurately reflects what VF 6 represents in the B-SUV segment
Starting from early 2024, the company will provide free upgrades with additional ADAS features, such as highway driving assistance, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, emergency braking, etc., offering users a simpler and safer driving experience. Plus, the car is equipped with 8 airbags on the Plus version, ensuring maximum safety for users.
In addition, VF 6 is considered better value for money than gasoline models in the segment thanks to the VF Connect service package with a range of intelligent features such as driver profile setup, automatic emergency call, voice-activated virtual assistant in various regional dialects, family entertainment and office integration, etc.
Personalized design, top-class spacious interior
Unlike gasoline models in the B segment that receive less attention in terms of design, VF 6 stands out with its unique personality through the use of sleek curves. The design team at Torino Design has creatively produced an electric SUV model with the design philosophy of “Natural Complementary Pair”, balancing aesthetics and functionality, bringing in modern and highly rated details.
Positioned in the B segment, VF 6’s specifications are comparable to C-SUV models. With a wheelbase of up to 2,730 mm, longer than all other models in the same segment, VF 6 provides spacious cabin space for users, while still maintaining a fashionable and stylish overall design.
The outstanding advantages of VF 6 have won over many Vietnamese customers
Inside, VF 6’s interior receives praise for its refinement, meticulous design, finishing quality, and ergonomics. The car is also equipped with prominent features that provide a relaxing and comfortable experience for users, such as a 12.9-inch touchscreen entertainment system, head-up display, electronic parking brake, dual-zone automatic air conditioning with Combi 1.0 filters, etc.
Best warranty and after-sales service policy in the market
With VF 6, users can confidently use the car for a long time, as the car enjoys an excellent official warranty policy of up to 7 years or 160,000 km, and the battery is warranted for 8 years without kilometer limitations, surpassing the common market standards of 3 years or 100,000 km. Alongside that are VinFast’s exclusive privileges, such as 24/7 roadside assistance, mobile repair service, 24/7 mobile charging service, and a 5-year buyback price commitment, etc.
With its array of outstanding advantages, it is understandable why VF 6 is the top choice in the B-SUV segment. In fact, VinFast’s VF 6 is capable of attracting customers who are looking for higher segment cars due to its equivalent value proposition with significantly lower costs.
