    VinFast VF 3 coming to PH, will retail below PHP 800K | Autoindustriya

    Measuring 3190mm long, 1679mm wide, 1622mm tall, and having a wheelbase of 2075mm, VinFast claims the VF 3 will be perfect for city life. It also has 191mm of ground clearance which is more than enough to tackle speed bumps and potholes in the city.
    Power comes from an 18.64 kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery pack which gives the VF 3 a range of over 200 km based on the NEDC cycle.

    I saw a review of the Vinfast VF8 on Donut Media YT. They had a long list of complaints and questionable design choices. I think this is to be expected as it is a very young brand established in a country with no automotive industry pedigree. Maybe given time they'll improve.

    They have an updated review and in fairness they did notice improvements which shows the manufacturer was listening. And Doug De Mouro also has a review.

    CarguidePH's Uly, in an article from June this year, has pretty much the same opinion for all the other cars in the Vinfast line.

    Maybe because if they were driven to and from factory ... they might breakdown before being sold ...

    yeah cut them some slack and most so called auto journalists tend to harp on about silly things like hard plastics

    i've already test driven the jetour ice cream and i'm pretty sure the vf3 drives like it or maybe even a bit better. if so then it'd be perfectly adequate for short trips around town. fyi the motor is mounted directly to the rear solid axle so that's a lot of unsprung weight

    159mm wider than spresso

    34mm wider than jimny

    so it's actually not that small! but it's very short

    ^i'm sure the 800K price is for the leased battery.

    I wonder how much they'll price the car & battery

    on VF vietnam website vf5 non-lease is 548,000,000 dongs, while vf3 non-lease is 322,000,000

    vf5 ph non-lease price is 1191,000 (currently discounted to 1042,000)

    so... (1191/548000) * 322000 = approx 700k pesos

    if we substitute vf5 discounted price: (1042/548000)*322000 = 612k pesos


    so based on vf5 ph pricing the vf3 non-lease should be 700k

    40hp though... doesn't sound fun even if you have 100% of that from a standstill.

    But the torque of 110Nm is the same as a Honda Brio and higher than 89Nm of a Toyora Wigo.

    But the result of all that torque is just 40 horses.

    And the original Beetle engine only had a max 40Hp and 88Nm. And there are still a few Beetles and Kombis running in Baguio. Di naman siguro nilagay sa paleta at sinakay sa eroplano ang mga yun. Even the cheap EVs being reviewed ang primary comment, iba yung acceleration dahil sa torque.

    Ang mahal naman ng shipping nito. Malamang mga demo o display units.

    Sa alam ko torque para acceleration, HP para sa top speed. Malamang fun lang ito sa city, back roads, at twisties. Sa highways hindi.
