VinFast VF 3 creates a wave of car ownership among young Vietnamese people.

Compact, easy to maneuver, and suitable for urban life.

After experiencing VinBus, Mr. Minh Phu (Hanoi) realized the clear advantages of electric vehicles such as smooth and quiet operation, and especially the absence of gasoline fumes. When test-driving the VinFast VF 3, he felt these advantages even more strongly. He also liked the compactness and agility of this model. Furthermore, the VF 3 has a much more reasonable purchase and operating cost compared to his gasoline-powered car, so he decided to buy this model.

Mr. Minh Phu "forgot" about his old gasoline car because of the convenience of the VinFast VF 3.

Although he initially bought the car for his wife to use to pick up and drop off their children, he ended up owning the VF 3 because of its incredibly convenient features in daily life.

Mr. Phu's story reflects the trend in transportation choices among young people and young families. The VF 3 is a top choice thanks to its accessible price and low running costs – two important factors for first-time car buyers. In addition, its stylish design and ease of personalization make this model particularly appealing to modern customers.

The listed price for the VF 3 is 302 million VND. During this period, customers receive a direct 4% discount, support ranging from 5 to 7.5 million VND for trading in their old gasoline car for an electric vehicle, and a gift of 2 years of comprehensive insurance that can be converted into cash worth 6.5 million VND. Notably, electric vehicles are currently exempt from registration fees, bringing the total on-the-road cost down to just over 270 million VND. In addition, buyers also receive gifts in the form of VinClub points worth 6 million VND and a free upgrade to the vehicle's color.

According to Mr. Minh Phu, the cost of use is also a major reason why his family is loyal to the VF 3. Thanks to the free charging policy until June 30, 2027, users spend almost no money on fuel for their transportation needs. Previously, his gasoline car cost 4-5 million VND per month, so the savings with the VF 3 are very clear.

The maintenance costs of the VF 3 are also optimized for Mr. Minh Phu and many other owners due to its purely electric structure with few mechanical parts. No oil changes, no spark plugs, and few wear and tear items help users avoid large maintenance bills – a common concern for first-time car buyers. When you combine the almost zero fuel costs with low maintenance costs (only about 400,000 VND per visit) and purchase incentives, the total cost of owning a VF 3 is comparable to that of a motorbike.

Truly a "mass-market car".

Looking at the broader market, the appeal of the VF 3 is clearly demonstrated by its sales figures. Specifically, in November 2025, VinFast delivered 23,186 electric vehicles of all types. Of these, VF 3 sales alone reached 4,655 units, and cumulatively from the beginning of the year to date, it remains the best-selling model in the Vietnamese market with 40,660 units sold.

Not only is the VF 3 a bestseller, but it also boasts a vibrant user community. The "VF 3 - Create Your Own Unique Style, Be Your Own Personality" contest held recently in Hanoi , Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City attracted thousands of car owners. Many unique modified versions have gone viral on social media, with numerous videos garnering millions of views.

In Vietnam, the VF 3 was also honored at the Car Choice Awards 2025, part of the Better Choice Awards 2025, with two titles: “Gen Z Car of the Year” and “Market-Leading Car”. According to Ms. Bui Mai Linh, a member of the Better Choice Awards 2025 expert judging panel, the VF 3 opens up a completely new segment, creating a social impact and attracting a new class of customers to the market. This model brings the concept of “one car per family” closer to the majority of people and helps change the perception of Vietnamese people about car ownership.

These accolades lay the groundwork for VF 3 to expand its influence regionally. In Indonesia, VF 3 was awarded “Best Urban Electric Vehicle 2025” at IIMS Surabaya 2025, and previously received the “Most Impressive New Electric Vehicle” award at the Carvaganza Editors' Choice Awards thanks to its compact, practical design and low cost – factors particularly well-suited to Southeast Asian consumers.

With an on-the-road price starting from just over 270 million VND, along with the versatility and quality experiences that the VinFast VF 3 offers, this model is becoming a true "mass-market car".

In December 2025, customers purchasing VinFast VF 3 and VF 5 vehicles will receive 2 years of comprehensive insurance (which can be redeemed for cash worth VND 6.5 million for VF 3 and VND 12 million for VF 5), and will also receive a free advanced color selection (equivalent to VND 8 million).

Customers purchasing VF 7 Plus, VF 8, and VF 9 vehicles will receive a direct discount of 50 million VND or can choose a Vinpearl resort voucher of equivalent value (applicable to VF 8 and VF 9).

In addition, all VinFast models are currently enjoying a 4% discount under the "Intense Vietnamese Spirit - For a Green Future 3rd Edition" program, with discounts up to VND 150 million if switching from gasoline to electric vehicles, an additional VND 70 million via VinClub account when registering a vehicle in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and an extra 2% discount when purchasing a vehicle online... If purchasing a vehicle on installment, customers are supported with loans up to 80% and preferential interest rates of 3-4%/year for the first 3 years compared to market rates.

To celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year (Year of the Horse), VinFast is launching a customer appreciation program, giving away a bottle of wine to all customers who purchase a vehicle and receive an invoice from now until January 31, 2026.
