Four people can fit inside the cabin, and the rear seats can be folded to expand the cargo space to 285 liters.
There’s a 10-inch infotainment screen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, and one USB-C port.
Despite being the most affordable model in VinFast’s lineup, the VF 3 comes equipped with a full range of essential features, including safety and driver-assist technologies. Each VF 3 also comes with a portable charger.
The mini electric SUV comes with a 7-year/160,000 km warranty, an 8-year unlimited mileage battery warranty (for battery purchase), and free maintenance and battery replacement if the battery capacity drops below 70% (for battery subscription).
