Talking about electric cars, we certainly rely heavily on products from China and Korea. These two countries dominate the electric vehicle market in the Asian region with various attractive variants with cutting-edge technology. However, don’t forget the rising automotive manufacturer from Vietnam, VinFast. This automotive manufacturer under the auspices of the Vingroup conglomerate continues to show its existence. Most recently, they introduced a model in the small but powerful city car segment called the VinFast VF3 EV.
VinFast VF3 EV Car Specifications
Officially released for the Asian market, the VinFast VF3 immediately stole attention. Especially thanks to its unique design, sophisticated features, and impressive engine performance for its class. By carrying the concept of a two-door urban mini SUV, the VinFast VF3 targets young consumers who need agile vehicles. Of course with prominent characteristics.
Visually, the VinFast VF3 carries a futuristic and dynamic design. However, it still maintains the “muscular” impression like a mini SUV. This car comes with dimensions of 3,190 mm in length, 1,679 mm in width, and 1,652 mm in height.
Thanks to these dimensions, the VF3 is relatively larger when compared to its competitors in the same segment. One of them is the Wuling Air EV which has a shorter and narrower body.
This difference directly provides an advantage for the VinFast VF3 in terms of cabin space. They can accommodate up to five adult passengers. Something that is quite rare for a small electric car.
The exterior appearance of the VF3 looks tough and modern. With sharp curves on the body and a horizontal LED headlight design that blends harmoniously with the front grille. 16-inch rims and a fairly high ground clearance also make the car ready to face the challenges of city and suburban roads.
Based on a review on the Vchannel YouTube channel, the entire body of the VF3 uses high-quality steel material. Likewise with the roof, which is said that when rainwater falls, the sound will be very well dampened. So as not to disturb the people inside.
Fierce Performance Behind Its Size
Don’t be fooled by its tiny size. VinFast VF3 EV relies on a 43 hp (32 kW) electric motor and a maximum torque of 110 Nm. This makes the car quite responsive when we invite it to accelerate on city streets.
The power is channeled through the rear-wheel drive (RWD). Providing a more stable and enjoyable driving sensation.
The car also gets a power supply from a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery with a capacity of 18.64 kWh. The above data can cover a distance of up to 215 km on one full charge based on the NEDC standard. This cruising range is more than enough for daily needs in urban and suburban areas.
One of the advantages that the VF3 offers is the ability to charge quickly through the CCS2 fast charging feature. Charging the battery from 10 percent to 70 percent only takes about 36 minutes. Making it an ideal solution for active users who don’t want to waste a lot of time at charging stations.
Many Color Choices at Affordable Prices
VinFast VF3 not only comes with solid technology. But also offers attractive color choices. For the Asian market, there are four standard colors available, namely Jet Black, Infinity Blanc, Crimson Red and Zenith Grey.
Meanwhile, for consumers who want to appear more striking, there is also a choice of premium two-tone colors. Call it Summer Yellow, Urban Mint, Sky Blue and Rose Pink
In terms of price, the VinFast VF3 EV is offered with a price tag of around USD 14,300. This price is quite competitive considering the features and performance that the product offers. It can even be an attractive alternative for consumers looking for their first electric vehicle without having to drain their pockets.
