The Electric Revolution: VinFast Green Sizzles with a Flood of New Orders

Not only did it create an unusual online queuing scene, but the offline event held on March 18 in Hanoi was also exceptionally hot when numerous drivers wanted to be there in person, taking the opportunity to upgrade to electric cars early – “assets that make a profit on every km”.

The pre-order fever exploded, with moments of “lag” on the pre-order portal

More than 48 hours after officially opening pre-orders, posts boasting VinFast Green bookings, especially for the Minio Green and Limo Green, were continuously shared on major car forums. Up to now, these models are still the hottest topics on large forums and groups of Vietnamese users.

Many drivers said they had successfully pre-ordered the Minio Green shortly after sales opened and are now waiting to take delivery of their cars.

The heat of the VinFast Green range was also evident in the very first orders when GSM opened the portal at midnight on March 17. The number of orders recorded in the first few minutes of the sale was so high that there were moments when the GSM pre-order system experienced “lag” for a few minutes before it was resolved and resumed normal operation. Many users commented that it is common to line up to get your hands on the latest smartphones, but it is “unheard of” to queue online to pre-order a car.

Orders for 15-20 Limo Greens kept pouring into GSM’s booking channels.

On the offline “battlefield”, many GSM sales consultants shared that they received orders for several or even dozens of vehicles.

“The appeal of the VinFast Green range is undeniable. An order for dozens of vehicles is rare for personal cars, but it can be explained for ride-hailing services, especially when these Vietnamese models feature beautiful, elegant designs while being optimized for ride-hailing operations,” said Mr. Huy Thong, owner of a car showroom in Hanoi.

Attractive incentives during the “8 Golden Days” not to be missed

Affordable prices and low operating costs suitable for ride-hailing customers are the main reasons why VinFast Green models quickly attracted buyers. In particular, a series of exclusive privileges during the first 8 days of pre-orders from GSM were considered a great incentive for many who did not want to miss out on this opportunity.

Specifically, from March 17-24, customers who purchase VinFast Green vehicles through GSM will receive a discount of VND 5 million/vehicle for Minio Green, VND 10 million/vehicle for Herio Green or Nerio Green, and VND 15 million/vehicle for Limo Green. If customers buy a car and register a license plate in Hanoi until the end of January 2026, they will also receive an additional incentive of VND 2.5-7.5 million under the “For a Green Capital” program, credited to the VinClub account.

Thus, the Green models actually cost only from VND 264 million for the smallest Minio Green, along with free charging until June 30, 2027, which is currently applied to all VinFast electric car owners, helping drivers save a significant amount of daily fuel costs.

Especially, customers who buy Minio Green can borrow up to 90% of the vehicle’s value, which means they only need to put down an initial amount of VND 26.4 million to own this vehicle for ride-hailing services. GSM also offers a more compelling “closing deal” by applying a revenue-sharing ratio of 90% for drivers for the next 3 years – a ratio that no other platform has dared to offer in the market.

Many drivers attended the “VinFast Green Sales Launch” in Hanoi on March 18 to take advantage of the “combo” of incentives and quickly secure their pre-orders.

Present at the “VinFast Green Sales Launch” in Hanoi on March 18, many drivers quickly decided to buy the Minio Green to upgrade from their motorcycles when they saw a clear opportunity to make a profit thanks to this “combo” of incentives.

“If I want to switch from a motorbike to a car, the Minio Green is the best choice out there. If I were to buy a petrol-powered car like the Kia Morning or Hyundai Grand i10, considering all the costs, I would have to spend at least VND 400 million. Meanwhile, the Minio Green is exempt from registration fees, and with more than 2 years of free charging… both the initial investment and operating costs are much lower, so why not buy it?”, said Mr. Dinh Tung, a driver in Hanoi. Mr. Tung calculated that if he works hard, he can recoup the money spent on the car in just over a year.

Mr. Tung’s calculation is indeed feasible because, considering the total incentives that customers receive when buying from GSM, every month, he will only have to pay about 10% of the revenue and some small expenses such as car washing, parking fees, etc., so the profit he earns will be almost equal to the money he makes. “If I can make about VND 19-20 million a month, I can recoup my investment in about 15 months,” he affirmed.

Meanwhile, for many customers, especially those who want to invest in a fleet of inter-provincial ride-hailing services, the Limo Green is the most suitable and anticipated choice. With a 7-seat design and a range of up to 450 km on a single charge, this MPV from VinFast is highly sought after.
