VinFast Electrifies the Philippines with the Launch of its VF 3 Electric Car

In a significant move, VinFast Auto is now accepting bookings for its VF 3 model in the Philippines. This marks the first time the company is offering its trendy mini-SUV electric vehicle in an international market.

From September 19 to 30, early bird customers who place a booking for the VF 3 will enjoy exclusive privileges and attractive benefits, including a special price of 605,000 pesos per car (with a battery lease) or 705,000 pesos per car (with battery purchase). After this promotional period, the prices will return to the listed rates of 645,000 pesos (lease) and 745,000 pesos (purchase), respectively.

Additionally, these pioneering VF 3 customers will have the freedom to choose from nine impressive exterior paint colors, including four basic and five advanced colors, without any additional cost. The advanced colors will incur a surcharge of 20,000 pesos after the promotional period.

What’s more, during the initial booking phase from September 19 to 30, customers can pay a fee of 40,000 pesos to customize their vehicle’s paint color beyond the standard nine options. This unique privilege is being offered by VinFast for the VF 3 model during this introductory period only.

The launch event attracted a large number of enthusiastic attendees.

VinFast will accept bookings through its official website or authorized dealerships, with a refundable deposit of 5,000 pesos, in accordance with VinFast’s policies.

Customers who opt for the VF 3 battery lease have the flexibility to choose from various affordable subscription plans starting at just 2,800 pesos per month, allowing them to optimize their costs according to their driving needs.

With its compact dimensions of 3,190 x 1,679 x 1,622 mm and a wheelbase of 2,075 mm, the VinFast VF 3 is designed to navigate urban roads with ease. Its 16-inch alloy wheels and impressive 191 mm ground clearance make it a capable companion on diverse terrains.

Despite its small size, the VF 3 packs a punch with its powerful electric motor, delivering a maximum output of 32 kW and a peak torque of 110 Nm. Equipped with a lithium-ion battery pack having a capacity of 18.64 kWh, the VF 3 offers a substantial range of up to 210 km on a single charge, making it ideal for city driving. Furthermore, its fast-charging capability allows a quick charge from 10% to 70% in just 36 minutes, saving valuable time for busy individuals.

The VF 3 stands out with its youthful and dynamic design, offering nine exterior color options that appeal to the young and free-spirited. The interior is optimized for four passengers, with the rear seats foldable to increase luggage capacity to an impressive 285L. A large 10-inch infotainment screen ensures that every journey in the VF 3 is an entertaining one.

Despite its extremely competitive pricing, the VF 3 comes loaded with essential features, advanced safety functions, and driver-assistance technologies, ensuring a smooth and convenient driving experience, even for novice drivers. Each VF 3 comes with a complimentary portable charger, ensuring that customers can confidently embark on longer journeys without range anxiety.

VinFast prioritizes customer peace of mind with its industry-leading after-sales policies. The company offers a 7-year/160,000 km warranty for the VF 3, along with an 8-year unlimited-kilometer warranty for the battery (for vehicles with battery purchases). Additionally, VinFast provides free maintenance and battery replacement if the charging capacity drops below 70% (for vehicles with battery leases).

VinFast makes its official entry into the Philippines market.

Mr. Cao Ngoc Nguyen Duy, General Director of VinFast Philippines, shared his enthusiasm: “VinFast is thrilled to bring our successful VF 3 electric vehicle from Vietnam to the Philippines. We believe this model will be a game-changer in the Philippine automotive market and will continue VinFast’s success story. With its ease of purchase, driving, and ownership, the VF 3 can cater to diverse customer segments, especially the youth, who play a pivotal role in the transition to sustainable transportation. By introducing the VF 3, VinFast demonstrates its commitment to contributing to the Philippines’ green transformation.”

In just a few short months, VinFast has solidified its long-term commitment to the Philippine market by inaugurating multiple dealerships and launching electric vehicles that align with the needs of local consumers. The introduction of the VF 3 is a significant step forward in VinFast’s journey in the Philippines, reinforcing its dedication to offering premium products, competitive pricing, and exceptional after-sales services.
