VinFast Philippines is now accepting reservations for its all-electric mini-SUV, the VF 3. Marking the first time it’s made available outside of VinFast’s home market of Vietnam, the four-seater EV enters the country with a starting price of just P 605,000 (inclusive of battery subscription).
The attention-grabbing P 605,000 price tag is a special limited offer to customers who book the VF 3 from September 19 to 30. The VF 3 is priced at P 705,000 with the battery included. After September 30, the price goes up to P 645,000 with the battery subscription model and P 745,000 with the battery included.
Speaking of the battery subscription, this is how it looks like for the VF 3:
- Less than 1,500 km per month: P 2,800 monthly
- 1,500 to 2,500 km per month: P 3,800 monthly
- More than 2,500 km per month: 6,300 monthly
Not a fan of the VF 3’s colorway? Don’t worry. For P 40,000 (until September 30), customers can customize their VF 3’s color beyond the nine available colors. This will be the only time VinFast will offer this exclusive privilege.
Talking about specs, the VF 3 boasts of an ultra-compact design with its 3,190 mm length x 1,679 mm width x 1,622 mm height dimensions. Its 2,075 mm wheelbase, however translates to hospitable room for four adults. And with a ground clearance of 191 mm, it can confidently navigate through city streets with ease.
The VF 3 is powered by a 43 horsepower (32 kW), 110 Nm electric motor driving the rear wheels. 0 to 50 km/h is pegged at 5.3 seconds. With an 18.64-kWh lithium-ion battery, its maximum range is pegged at 210 kilometers. Don’t let that modest range fool you because it can be charged using a DC fast charger. It takes just 36 minutes to go from 10 to 70 percent state-of-charge. Each unit comes with a portable charger.
Inside, the VF 3 appeals to the tech-driven youth with its 10-inch infotainment screen. The rear seats are foldable expanding its cargo hold to 285 liters.
The VF 3 comes with a 7-year or 160,000-kilometer warranty, an 8-year / unlimited mileage warranty for the battery, and free maintenance and battery replacement if the battery capacity drops below 70 percent for those opting for battery subscription.
Priced well, Looks good and has good ground clearance, has fighting change vs china comrades.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a battery subscription?
ReplyDeleteFinish grade school so u can Read
DeleteGood pricing for the Vinfast VF3 mini EV
ReplyDeleteVinfast Philippines is aware that they're on a price war with Wuling and Dongfeng.
Then again the Dacia Spring based Dongfeng Nanobox EX1 Pro is still much cheaper at 688,000 Pesos when bought in cash..Number of Dongfeng dealerships in the country is increasing due to high interest and demand for the Nanobox and Nammi EVs.
Vinfast dealerships in the Philippines lacked service centers and are mostly small display outlets only..I do wish Vinfast Philippines invest more money on proper facilities by opening proper showroom and service centers for their Vinfast vehicles.
So if I understand it, magbabayad pa ako additional sa battery subscription ng 6300 pesos per month on top of my electric bill sa pg cha-charge nito? dafuq
ReplyDeleteBoss do you drive 2,500 km a month?
DeleteCongrats at pinatunayan mo na naman bakit lowest in reading comprehension ang mga pinoy
DeleteI assume that battery subscription comes with a loaded or fully charged battery pack.
Delete43HP?? That's as funny as the 0.8L of hyundai eon.
ReplyDeleteDon’t bother with HP, torque is more important, that will snap you to the backrest
Delete"Snap to the backrest" at 110nm? Sanggol ka ba? That's even lower than a 1.3L vios.
DeleteThe ball is now in ACMobility's court. The pricing of the BYD Seagull will either make it or break it. ACM's track record on pricing doesn't inspire confidence though. If BYD is interested in truly dominating the NEV sector, they should impose SRPs on the Seagull. They shouldn't let ACM's bad judgement hamstring the model's success. The BYD Seagull is a global success due to its sensible specs sheet and affordable pricing.
ReplyDeleteBYD Seagull is gonna be more expensive as its expected to be priced at around 950,000 up to 999,000 Pesos for the sole 300km Range variant
DeleteThey’re not bringing in the 400km variant? Lol, what the hell…
DeleteAs usual, Ayala dropping the ball. Nothing new here boys, just move along.
DeleteNobody would buy a BYD Seagull 400 at 1.2 to 1.3 Million Pesos as the JAC Ytterby,Dongfeng Nammi and GWM ORA 3 which are bigger than the BYD Seagull are on that same category and price range.
DeleteThen don't price it above 1M, simple as that. The 400KM is sold for barely 500K at its home country, you're telling me ACMobility's overhead cost per car is way more than its sticker price. I highly doubt that. There's also the local EV tax exemptions. ACM is just being insanely greedy here. Ayala loves thick margins, that's why it keeps failing at retail.
DeleteThe Chinese market prices of the BYD Seagull are distorted because of CCP subsidies, which exports don't get. You should look at the prices of the Seagull at its other export markets for a more accurate picture. The price of the sole variant in our market is actually lower compared to the same variant in those markets. Bravo, BYD Philippines!
DeleteChina boys it time to bash vinfast. Any threat to China brands the Boyz will mobilize. Don't worry China Boyz you still have the 5% to share among 100 brands
ReplyDeleteChinese cars are here to stay. And all around the world. And they are brutal. They will give u the most tech and features at a low price point. Something japs cars can never do. Better for consumers like u and me.
DeleteChina, Vietnam, they’re both the same. Both are under communist regimes, but we’re just friendlier with the latter.
DeleteVinfast isn't even a threat to Chinese car brands
DeleteVinfast is gonna eventually sell itself to SAIC if they can't make the vehicle company be profitable in the next 5 ro 8 years
Vingroup doesn't have the deep pockets and huge amounts of money of privately owned Chinee car manufacturers like Geely,BYD and GWM.
beware of the battery subscription it's a SCAM.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Once you stop paying for the subscription, you will not be able to use your own car anymore. VinFast should just offer actual car subscriptions instead of this scam.
DeleteLOL. Meralco is also a scam. Once you stop paying for your electric bill, you won’t be able to use your appliances
DeleteYour point? My point, and I think the first guy's point as well, is that you lose access to the most crucial component of your vehicle when your subscription ends, doesn't matter if you've been a subscriber for a decade or more. The subscription "variant" is there only to blind people with its low price, regardless of the fine print. VinFast shouldn't have offered this scam in the first place, it's predatory in nature. Just offer actual car subscriptions instead.
