Vietnamese consumers consider the VinFast VF 9 a smart investment.

Full-size SUV, but "the more you drive it, the more economical it becomes."

“Previously, I thought electric vehicles were just about technology, but after using the VF 9, I realized it’s also a smart investment,” shared Dang Hoang, a senior manager in the finance sector, after nearly a year of using the VinFast VF 9.

Previously, Mr. Hoang used to drive a large gasoline-powered SUV for many years. At that time, spending tens of millions of dong on gasoline each month was normal for him. When he switched to the VF 9, he was extremely surprised to find that he no longer had to worry about monthly fuel costs. This is because VinFast electric vehicles are now 100% free to charge at V-Green public charging stations.

“I’ve been using the car for about a year, driving around 20,000-25,000 km. Previously, fuel costs were a huge fixed expense, amounting to hundreds of millions of VND per year. However, this year, I haven’t spent a single penny. According to VinFast’s policy, for the first three years of using the car, I almost don’t need to worry about operating costs,” this car owner stated.

Furthermore, despite using the electric vehicle quite a lot, he only needed to have it serviced once at a cost of about 500,000 VND (VinFast electric vehicles have a scheduled maintenance interval of 15,000 km or one year). For the same distance traveled, if it were a gasoline car, he would have had to have it serviced at least four times at a cost of several million VND each time.

Moreover, the VF 9 comes with a 10-year warranty for both the bike and the battery, giving him complete peace of mind in case of any problems. "The operating costs are already optimized, and now with the long-term warranty, I almost have no pressure when using the bike," the customer concluded.

A car for all needs.

Besides cost savings, Mr. Hoang said that the most important reason for choosing the VF 9 was its appearance. The VF 9 has a very imposing and modern design, making him feel more confident when meeting with business partners.

The VF 9 measures 5,119 mm x 2,254 mm x 1,697 mm, significantly larger than other E-SUVs in its segment. Its 3,149 mm wheelbase is also among the largest in its price range, providing a spacious interior. Mr. Hoang particularly appreciated the luxurious feel offered by the panoramic glass roof.

From a family perspective, Ms. Mai Anh, the owner of a chain of cosmetics stores in Ho Chi Minh City, approached the VF 9 in a more practical way. “My family needs a spacious car that’s comfortable for long journeys, but also has a ‘rugged’ look. The VF 9 fully meets these needs,” she shared.

According to her, the VF 9 is designed to optimize the experience from the rear seats. She feels the interior is "overly" comfortable for long journeys. The seats are very comfortable, with massage, heating, cooling functions, and an armrest with integrated wireless charging (in the 6-seat version with the "captain's seat" row). Her children also feel comfortable sitting in the third row and don't get tired on long trips.

In terms of operation, the family's general impression was that it was smooth and stable. "The car is very stable, accelerates smoothly, and doesn't jerk. The air suspension system makes the ride noticeably smoother," said Mr. The Hung, Ms. Mai Anh's husband and the main driver.

In particular, owning this model with an engine boasting up to 402 horsepower and 620 Nm of torque is now within reach for many Vietnamese customers thanks to a series of preferential policies from VinFast in May 2026.

Currently, when choosing the VF 9, customers receive a 10% discount from VinFast's "Intense for a Green Future" program. Those switching from any brand of gasoline vehicle to an electric vehicle by May 31st will receive an additional 3% discount. The total direct discount can therefore reach 195-220 million VND depending on the version – a rare and hard-to-find offer in the current automotive market.

If financing is not immediately available, users can also purchase a car on installment without paying any down payment, and can choose between a 10% discount on the selling price or a fixed interest rate of 5% per year for the first 3 years.

From its imposing design and impressive power to its premium interior, the VF 9 is satisfying a wide range of users, from businesspeople and senior managers needing a trendy mode of transportation to families seeking the ideal vehicle for long journeys. Coupled with attractive promotional offers and significantly lower operating costs compared to comparable gasoline models, the VF 9 is considered a worthwhile investment for users throughout its lifespan.
