Vietnam’s domestic vehicle manufacturer VinFast Auto continued the global launch of its latest entry level battery electric vehicle (BEV), the VF3 mini SUV, with the model now available in the Philippines.
VinFast began taking orders for the VF3 in Vietnam in May, with the model offered at an introductory price of VND235m (US$9,547) without battery subscription and VND315m ($12,800) including battery. According to the company, this is less than half the price of the cheapest petrol car available in the Vietnamese market at that time.
