Introducing the VinFast VF 6: A New All-Electric B-Segment SUV
VinFast’s Expanding Electric Fleet
Expanding its reach in the electric vehicle market, VinFast has recently unveiled its latest creation: the VF 6 electric SUV. This B-segment vehicle is the latest addition following the Vietnamese carmaker’s array of electric models, such as the VF e34, VF 8, VF 9, and VF 5. The VF 6’s debut marks a significant milestone in VinFast’s product range, which has been gaining attention since its introduction to the Nasdaq stock exchange.
The VF Series Bound for North America
The commitment of VinFast to enter the North American market grows stronger with the launch of the VF 6, accompanying its SUV counterpart, the VF 7. Both models herald VinFast’s foray into competitive international markets and underpin the brand’s growth strategy.
Design and Features of the VF 6
Designed by the acclaimed Italian Torino Design House, the VF 6 is offered in two variations: the Base and the Plus. Its design focuses on combining ample interior space, smart technology, and potent performance into one family-friendly package. Every aspect of the VF 6, from exterior to interior detailing, aims to resonate with consumers looking for style, luxury, and efficiency.
Customer-Focused After-Sales Services
Both VF 6 models boast equitable after-sales service policies. This includes a generous 7-year or 160,000 km warranty, dedicated customer service, and an appealing buyback program after five years of ownership. Moreover, VinFast introduces its pioneering battery subscription service to ensure peace of mind and a reduction in upfront costs for its clientele.
Early Reservation Incentives and Rollout
Keen on rewarding early adopters, VinFast has set up a reservation incentive program that offers a discount of up to VND 20 million (~$822) for those who reserve their VF 6 between October 20 and October 30, 2023. However, the reservation process adheres to strict guidelines that must be followed to benefit from the incentive. Prospective buyers in Vietnam can look forward to the VF 6 being showcased in showrooms and expect deliveries to commence towards the year’s end.
Specifications and Design of the VF 6
The VF 6’s dimensions are strategically set to maximize comfort and appeal, boasting a long wheelbase that rivals C-segment internal combustion engine cars in terms of interior space. Its exterior features, such as the LED light strip and 19-inch alloy wheels, make a stylish statement, while a variety of color options allows for tailored personalization.
Performance Parameters of the VF 6
Equipped with a 59.6 kWh LiFePO4 (LFP) battery, the VF 6 promises an impressive range on a single charge, accompanied by robust power outputs that cater to different driving preferences. The upcoming Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) update further enhances the VF 6 Plus model’s capability, elevating the driving experience with a suite of cutting-edge safety features.
Ownership Costs and Opportunities
With its battery subscription model, VinFast significantly reduces the financial barrier to entry for the VF 6, offering a cost-effective solution for battery maintenance and replacement. As a result, the Base and Plus models become more accessible at attractive price points compared to outright purchase without subscription.
Production Focus and International Expansion
Although the plan to export the VF 6 is momentarily paused to meet domestic demand, the vehicle will be produced in the VinFast factory located in Hai Phong, Vietnam. Reports also indicate VinFast’s ambition to venture into the electric pickup truck segment in markets such as Thailand, though specific launch details await confirmation.
