Hanoi (VNA) - VinFast, an electric vehicle maker of Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup on April 21 handed over the first VF 5 Plus cars to customers.

As the most economical model in VinFast's lineup, VinFast VF 5 Plus aims to rapidly increase the popularity of smart electric vehicles (EVs) nationwide by targeting the broadest range of consumers.

The VF 5 Plus is a strategic model and the fourth one in VinFast's EV lineup. It was open for reservations from December 2022. Within 9 hours since the opening, the VF 5 Plus received over 3,000 reservations, with 80% converting to preorders. This impressive response can be attributed to its affordable price of only 458 million VND (19,500 USD) and numerous outstanding smart features.

Speaking at the delivery event, Le Thi Thu Thuy, Vingroup Vice Chairwoman and CEO of VinFast Holdings, said that the shortening of the time from reservation to delivery to only four months demonstrates VinFast's strong commitment to its customers. This reflects not only "Trust" and "Speed" in Vingroup's core values, but also affirms VinFast's outstanding capacity in vehicle development, process and resource optimization. I believe that along with the VF e34, VF 8, and VF 9, already sold on the market, the launch of the VF 5 Plus will provide customers with additional choices that suit the needs of the majority, thereby encouraging consumers to switch to electric vehicles and contributing to a sustainable future for all.

Belonging to the A-SUV segment, the VF 5 Plus possesses a modern, youthful, stylish design with 35 interior and exterior color mixes, ensuring personalization satisfying every customers lifestyle, personality, and preferences. The vehicle also comes with many advanced technologies and outstanding smart features such as Self-diagnosis; Intrusion Alert; Vietnamese Q&A with the Virtual Assistant; Over-the-air Updates; Standard Cruise Control; Door Open Warning; Rear Cross Traffic Alert; Blind Spot Detection; Rear Parking Assist, and more.

In terms of performance, the VF 5 Plus features an electric motor that packs 100 kW of maximum power, 135 Nm of maximum torque, and a 37.23-kWh lithium battery pack, enabling a driving range of more than 300 km per every full change (NEDC).

Despite its competent performance and high quality, the VF 5 Plus is VinFast's most affordable model, with a price tag of 458 million VND, excluding battery cost. The monthly fixed battery subscription fee is 1.6 million VND, excluding charging costs. The price of VinFast VF 5 Plus with the battery included is 538 million VND. All prices are inclusive of VAT.

The VF 5 Plus also comes with outstanding aftersales, including a 7-year (or 140,000-km) warranty policy (whichever comes first), 24/7 mobile charging, 24/7 mobile service, 24/7 roadside assistance, nationwide "non-stop" service workshop system, and much more. Moreover, VF 5 Plus owners can access a charging network of 150,000 charging ports for electric cars and scooters, an extensive system of VinFast's stores and service workshops together with dealers' service covering 63 provinces and cities throughout Vietnam.

With the advantages of Good product - Good price - Outstanding aftersales, the VF 5 Plus is considered "the EV for everyone." The model is a crucial product in VinFast's efforts to promote the adoption of electric vehicles among consumers and drive the transition towards greener mobility in Vietnam./.
