Last year, the VinFast VF 5 set a record for the highest annual sales of a car model in Vietnam, delivering over 32,000 units to customers. Previously, this record was held by another VinFast model, the Fadil, in 2021, with 24,128 units sold throughout the year.
Now, that record has been significantly surpassed by the VinFast VF 3. This mini electric vehicle has achieved an impressive delivery of 40,660 units from the beginning of 2025 until November. Notably, this figure was recorded as of November 2025, leaving one more month for the VF 3 to further extend its record-breaking performance.
In fact, the VF 3’s current sales figures exceed the total sales of many other manufacturers’ entire vehicle lineups or even entire market segments.

Its compact design makes it easy to navigate through tight urban spaces.
According to experts, the core factor behind the VF 3’s success is its ability to target young customers and newly married couples with limited budgets. With its compact size, optimal turning radius, and near-zero operating costs, the VF 3 meets both daily convenience needs and financial constraints.
Additionally, the VF 3 has sparked a cultural trend in car customization. Its basic features encourage owners to upgrade, resulting in a plethora of unique modifications. The VF 3 has become an ideal canvas for personalization and self-expression.
VinFast has been highly strategic in promoting the VF 3.
Capitalizing on this trend, VinFast has organized large-scale customization events and competitions, such as the “VF 3 – Create Your Own Style, Unique Personality” contest for VF 3 owners in Vietnam.
These events transform VF 3 ownership into more than just a means of transportation—it’s about joining a creative community. This has generated a strong viral effect and significantly boosted the model’s commercial appeal.
Currently, the VinFast VF 3 is priced at 287 million VND (excluding promotions). With its consistent and robust growth momentum in the final months of the year, the VF 3 is almost certain to become the top-selling vehicle in the market.
