“Say Goodbye to Two Wheels: VinFast Minio Green Offers a Seamless Transition to Four”

This electric minicar is suitable for first-time car buyers who want to save costs and is also trusted by business service providers.

“Why ride a motorbike when you can have a Minio Green?”

With a length of 3,090 mm, a width of 1,496 mm, a height of 1,659 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,065 mm, Minio Green – VinFast’s all-new minicar model is one of the most compact vehicles in the Vietnamese market. Despite its small size, the Minio Green’s interior is optimally designed to accommodate four seating positions. Coupled with a range of over 170 km on a single charge, the Minio Green is considered capable of meeting the basic needs of most Vietnamese users.

A quick browse through various car-related groups and pages on social media reveals an overwhelming amount of engagement and interest in this model. In particular, the compact size and affordable price of the Minio Green have been well-received by consumers. Many people believe that this model will turn the “dream of owning a car” into a reality for those currently using motorbikes.

In a post on the Otofun community, user Trương Triệu commented: “Why ride a motorbike to work when you can have a Minio Green?”. Another user, Nguyễn Công Đức, echoed this sentiment in a topic about Minio Green in the Anh em Mê xe community, saying: “With this, everyone can afford a car.”

With a price tag of only VND 269 million, Minio Green is one of the most accessible models on the market, as the lowest-priced petrol-powered cars typically start at VND 350-400 million. Moreover, as electric vehicles are currently exempt from registration fees until February 28, 2027, the actual cost of getting the Minio Green on the road is essentially the selling price plus the registration fee – an amount that previously would have only been enough for a deeply used car several years old.

An opportunity to “quadruple your investment”

With such a low investment cost, it’s easy to see the potential for “quadrupling your investment” with a vehicle like the Minio Green, especially when taking advantage of the “triple promotion” offered by GSM and VinFast during the upcoming booking period from March 17-24.

Specifically, when purchasing a vehicle through GSM, customers will receive a discount of VND 5 million, deducted directly from the selling price. On top of that, customers will also benefit from free charging until June 30, 2027, as part of VinFast’s “Mãnh liệt Tinh thần Việt Nam – Vì Tương lai Xanh” promotion. According to calculations by many users, this could result in savings of approximately VND 33 million if the vehicle is used from around August 2025.

Even more remarkably, for those who purchase a Minio Green and register to provide services through the Xanh SM Platform, the platform fee is only 10% of the revenue for three years – an unprecedented offer in the market. Compared to other ride-hailing platforms, this platform fee is approximately 15-20% lower.

According to calculations by Mr. Nguyễn Văn Hà, a driver operating in Hanoi, if he drives about 130-150 km per day with the Minio Green, he can expect a daily revenue of VND 700,000. Taking into account four days off per month, his monthly revenue would be approximately VND 19 million. Over three years, he would save more than VND 102 million compared to using other platforms. This amount goes directly into the driver’s pocket.

When considering all the promotions mentioned above, a buyer of the VinFast Minio Green who uses it to provide services through the Xanh SM Platform will benefit from savings of up to VND 140 million. Compared to the initial selling price of VND 269 million, the actual cost to the driver for this vehicle is only about VND 129 million, which is equivalent to the price of a high-end scooter.

“If we use Minio Green, we can recoup our investment in just over a year. In contrast, it would take three years to break even with a petrol-powered car in the same segment, twice as long as the Minio Green,” said Mr. Hà. He added that the payback period would be even longer for those who opt for installment payments.

In fact, the payback period for the Minio could be even shorter, as it has the potential to attract not only current taxi users but also those who currently use motorcycle taxis. “Passengers can opt for this instead of a motorbike; it offers protection from the sun and rain, it’s safer, and the price is similar. I think it will be very popular,” commented user Trần Quốc Tuyên.

Echoing this sentiment, expert Nguyễn Mạnh Thắng believes that with the right pricing strategy, the Minio Green could offer a more comfortable and affordable alternative to current motorbike taxis, accommodating more passengers at a lower cost. This gives service providers confidence that they can “make a big profit” with a minimal investment.
