Currently, the EC Van is available in two variants: a standard version priced at 285 million VND and a premium version at 305 million VND, which includes air conditioning. Given its purpose as a cargo van, air conditioning may not be essential in many cases, helping businesses save costs.
A sliding door has long been a desired feature for the EC Van. With a side sliding door, users can load and unload cargo more efficiently, as opposed to relying solely on the rear hatch. In the cargo van segment, Suzuki’s Eeco Van also features a sliding door and is priced at 310 million VND.
What Makes the EC Van Stand Out?
The EC Van has overall dimensions of 3,767 mm in length, 1,680 mm in width, 1,790 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,520 mm. Compared to the VF 3, this model is 577 mm longer, 1 mm wider, 168 mm lower, and has a wheelbase that is 445 mm longer. The rear cargo area offers a capacity of 2,600 liters and a payload of 600 kg.

The front lighting system uses halogen bulbs. There are no fog lights, but two slots are available for future installation. The side mirrors are manually adjustable. The rear lights are vertically arranged in three layers and also use halogen bulbs. The charging port is located on the rear passenger side. The vehicle rides on 14-inch steel wheels with 175/80R14 tires.

The interior features a display screen positioned behind the steering wheel and a manual handbrake. The two-spoke steering wheel does not include integrated function buttons. The center console houses a radio system and a manually controlled air conditioning unit with three rotary dials. The vehicle uses a traditional key. The electric window controls are located below the radio. The cabin accommodates two occupants with fabric-covered seats.

The vehicle is powered by an electric motor delivering a maximum output of 40 horsepower and a peak torque of 110 Nm, with a top speed of 75 km/h. The 17 kWh battery provides a range of 150 km per charge. It supports fast charging up to 19.4 kW, allowing for a 10-70% charge in 42 minutes. A portable 3 kW charger is also available for home charging.
