Primarily intended for the local market, the VF 3, an attractive affordable Vietnamese small SUV, has much bigger ambitions.
It’s hard not to think of the Suzuki Jimny when discovering the charming face of the small VF 3, a compact urban-focused electric mini SUV. It features an adventurous design with angular lines, large black wheel arches, and a high ground clearance. Sorry to insist, but all the features that contributed to the success of the Suzuki Jimny are present here.
The VF 3 asserts its urban intent with its very compact size of 3,190 mm in length, 1,679 mm in width, and a height of 1,620 mm. As tall as it is wide, the 4×4 spirit is definitely there. According to VinFast, the interior will be minimalist but will still feature a 10-inch display for the infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Four occupants can be seated, and the second row of seats can be folded when not in use, offering a cargo capacity of 550 liters. Regarding wheels, contrary to the industry trend for larger sizes, the VinFast VF 3 will be equipped with 16-inch wheels. Naturally, if you’re short-statured, you don’t go for 19 or 20 inches!
The targeted range, according to the press release, would be around 200 km.
VinFast is expected to accept pre-orders during 2024. As for the prices, delivery dates, and technical specifications for our market, they will be announced later, closer to the vehicle’s market debut.
