According to a post on the personal page of GSM CEO – Nguyen Van Thanh, the number of VF3 cars sold under the ThanhGSM code recorded 97 orders, and including 12 cars that he introduced to the showroom before the code, he has sold over 100 VF3 cars.

Mr. Thanh shared that if we calculate the total deposit amount “related” to him, it is worth VND 1.6 billion. If we calculate the value of the cars sold with the battery included, it is about VND 35 billion, and without the battery, it is VND 26 billion.

The General Director of XanhSM Taxi Company also sent his thanks to everyone for their trust and favor, especially their love for the Vietnamese car brand with 28,000 orders.

On May 7, VinFast officially announced the price and opened reservations for the VinFast VF 3. Accordingly, the mini SUV from VinFast has 1 version, contrary to previous information suggesting that the car is expected to have two versions: Eco and Plus.

The VinFast VF 3 is priced at VND 235 million for customers who rent the battery and VND 315 million for those who buy the car with a battery included. However, the above prices only apply to those who buy within the first three days of the sale, from May 13 to May 15, 2024. After that, the VinFast VF 3 will increase in price to VND 240 million and VND 322 million, respectively.

VinFast offers 3 battery rental packages for customers to choose from. The first is a package of VND 900,000/month with a travel limit of less than 1,500 km. The next one is VND 1.2 million/month for a travel distance of 1,500 to 2,500 km. Finally, the package is VND 2 million/month for travel over 2,500 km.

Previously, in a sharing post, Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh also mentioned the group of customers who would be suitable for using the VinFast VF3. Specifically, the CEO stated that the car can travel 210 km on a full charge, which is enough for daily needs and even for long-distance travel during holidays. In addition, the car can be quickly charged to 70% in just 36 minutes at any VinFast charging station across Vietnam.

Secondly, Mr. Thanh mentioned the compact size of the VF3, which makes it easier to maneuver and drive in cities, while still offering enough space for a young family. He also highlighted the stylish design of the car, with 9 different color options that cater to all ages and personalities.

“Lastly, the price of just VND 235 million makes it affordable for everyone, even for those currently riding high-end motorcycles. With a slight extra effort, one can own a safer, better, and more environmentally friendly car. When compared to gasoline-powered cars, the VF3 offers a better price, lower energy costs per kilometer, lower operating and maintenance costs, and better policies and after-sales service. In conclusion, I believe it suits everyone, and I am curious about your impressions of this car,” shared the GSM CEO.
