VinFast Sweeps Four Prestigious Awards at the 2025 Surabaya International Auto Show, Indonesia
With an overwhelming victory in four major categories, voted by both experts and visitors, VinFast has asserted its credibility, position, and strong appeal to automotive experts, enthusiasts, and Indonesian consumers.
The organizers of IIMS Surabaya 2025 awarded VinFast the highest scores in four categories: “Best Urban Electric Vehicle” for VF 3, “Most Impressive Newcomer” for VF 6, “Most Inspiring Booth,” and “Best Dress.”
IIMS is Indonesia’s most prominent and extensive exhibition system, attracting dozens of automotive, motorcycle, and technology brands from around the world annually.
IIMS Surabaya is held in East Java, the second-largest region in Indonesia after Jakarta, and consistently attracts a large number of visitors and enthusiasts. The IIMS Surabaya 2025 expert council comprised top journalists and specialists from reputable organizations.
In the “Best Urban Electric Vehicle” category, VinFast VF 3 outperformed a series of competitors from China and Japan, claiming victory with a dominant voting percentage. It garnered 89% of 50,000 votes cast by visitors and the official voting system of the organizers.
The VF 3 has attracted strong interest since its official launch in Indonesia, becoming the most test-driven model at the IIMS 2025 in February.
With its unique design, excellent equipment, and affordable price for the majority of the population, the VF 3 has become the ideal urban vehicle, powerfully inspiring creativity among owners who wish to express their individuality and unique style.
The organizers also honored VF 6 – VinFast’s newest model in Indonesia – with the “Most Impressive Newcomer” award. The expert council commended the modern design, advanced technological features, and exhilarating driving experience offered by the VF 6. The vehicle is expected to quickly captivate Indonesian consumers and forge a future of “Electrification for All.”
In addition to the two significant product awards, VinFast was presented with the “Most Inspiring Booth” award and recognized as “Best Dress” in the IIMS Surabaya 2025 Auto Show Hostess Competition.
VinFast’s exhibition booth was the largest at the show, featuring a modern design infused with future-forward aesthetics, powerfully inspiring visitors with a vision of a green and civilized electric transportation future.
The expert council, media, and attendees were particularly impressed by the elegant Vietnamese “ao dai” (traditional long dress), creating a unique cultural highlight that blended traditional and modern beauty, asserting the strong spirit of Vietnamese and Southeast Asians in the global green revolution.
Mr. Rudi MF, Project Leader of IIMS 2025, shared, “IIMS 2025 is highly impressed by VinFast’s product quality, deep connection with the audience, and powerful message. Both the VF 3 and VF 6 are fascinating models, attracting the attention of enthusiasts and the public alike. VinFast has achieved something very challenging in today’s competitive market. VinFast’s success at IIMS Surabaya 2025 is evident through the enthusiasm of visitors at its exhibition booth. VinFast delivered an inspiring performance and provided visitors with a chance to experience its electric vehicle technology firsthand. The excitement of the attendees not only confirms the appeal of VinFast’s products but also showcases the company’s solid position in Indonesia’s green transition.”
Mr. Kariyanto Hardjosoemarto, CEO of VinFast Indonesia, stated, “Winning four awards simultaneously at IIMS Surabaya 2025 is a proud milestone for VinFast. VinFast believes it is heading in the right direction in promoting Indonesia’s green transition. With a diverse range of products from VF 3, VF 5, VF 6 to VF e34, and a comprehensive ‘For a Green Future’ ecosystem, VinFast is committed to accompanying Indonesian consumers and contributing to the development of one of the region’s most promising electric vehicle markets.”
