The Vietnamese EV maker received 3,000 reservations for the small SUV.
Vietnamese electric car manufacturer VinFast has delivered the first units of its most affordable model, the VF 5 Plus, which has a starting price of around $20,000 in its home market.
The entry-level EV is seen by the company as a strategic model, having the potential of selling in much larger numbers than its bigger and more expensive stablemates, considering its low starting price and the tagline “the EV for everyone.” Boasting a single electric motor that makes 100 kilowatts of power and 100 pound-feet of torque, theVF 5 Plus has an estimated maximum driving range of “more than” 186 miles in the NEDC cycle, courtesy of a 37.2-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
The VinFast VF 5 Plus comes with a decent list of features for the price, including standard cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot detection, rear parking assist, over-the-air updates, self-diagnosis, and Vietnamese Q&A with a virtual assistant, among others.
