VinFast VF 5: Actual on-the-road cost under 500 million VND and a 3-year free charging promotion.
Thanks to cumulative incentives and exemption from registration fees, the VinFast VF 5 has become the most accessible electric SUV in its segment, offering optimal operating costs thanks to a free charging program until 2029.
The VinFast VF 5 is currently a city SUV with a real-world ownership cost under 500 million VND, thanks to a combination of competitive list prices and strong financial support programs from the manufacturer. Not only does it optimize initial investment costs, this A-segment electric vehicle also helps users eliminate fuel pressure with a free battery charging policy extending until 2029.
Optimized on-road costs thanks to cumulative discounts.
With a list price of 529 million VND, the VinFast VF 5 is already among the most accessible cars in its segment. However, through the "Intense for a Green Future" program (6% discount) and the "Trade-in gasoline for electricity" policy (3% discount), buyers can save up to 45 million VND directly.
Notably, thanks to the policy of waiving registration fees for electric cars, customers registering for the VF 5 will save an additional 50-60 million VND depending on the registration location. After applying all support policies, the actual on-the-road price of the car is brought down to below 500 million VND. In addition, the company also implements a "Buy a car for 0 VND" policy, allowing customers to pay in installments without down payment with a fixed interest rate of 7% per year for the first 3 years.
Superior operating experience and safety technology.
Despite being priced within the A-segment hatchback range, the VinFast VF 5 boasts impressive specifications with an electric motor producing 134 horsepower and a maximum torque of 135 Nm. The electric motor's structure allows for instant throttle response, providing decisive acceleration and a nimble driving feel in urban environments.

| Maximum torque | 135 Nm |
| Airbag system | 6 airbags |
| Driver assistance | Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert |

The safety system on this A-SUV model is highly rated, featuring a range of equipment commonly found on higher-end vehicles, such as rear parking assist, emergency braking assist, and six airbags for comprehensive passenger protection.
The economic equation from charging and maintenance costs.
In the first quarter of 2026, VinFast VF 5 recorded sales of 8,556 vehicles, maintaining its leading position in the segment. This appeal stems from the optimization of monthly operating costs. Specifically, individual customers receive free charging at the V-Green system until February 10, 2029 (maximum 10 times/month). For drivers operating on the Green SM Platform, this offer is unlimited charging at the charging stations.
Besides the advantage in energy costs, electric vehicles also show a clear advantage in maintenance. Because they lack complex parts like gasoline cars (oil changes, air filter replacements, spark plugs), the maintenance cost of the VF 5 is only about one-third that of vehicles in the same segment. This helps users, especially those in the service vehicle sector, to quickly recoup their investment and optimize profits throughout the product's lifespan.
