This dynamic mini-eSUV, packed with character and personality, adds a new dimension to smart, sustainable and accessible urban mobility for everyone.

Designed to unbound the imagination of urban mobility, the VF 3 combines practicality, creativity, and style to ignite new joy, inspire personal realization and spark creativity among its drivers.

The VF 3 features a seamless balance of robust geometric blocks and sleek lines, creating an aesthetically pleasing exterior designed to enhance its owner's personality. In addition, the ample ground clearance and 16-inch wheels underscore the vehicle's sturdy and practical design and its capacity to navigate different types of terrains.

The car's interior embraces a minimalist approach, providing ample space and incorporating essential smart features for a comfortable and convenient driving experience.

As a mini-eSUV, the VF 3 boasts a well-proportioned footprint for the effortless city commute. With an overall dimension of approximately L125.6 x W66.1 x H63.8 (inch) and a target estimate of driving range of over 125 miles per full charge, this practical four-seater delivers comfort while maintaining optimal manoeuvrability, empowering drivers to confidently navigate city streets.

Other functions and entertainment features also come standard to accommodate the daily lives of city drivers. This includes an advanced 10-inch-screen infotainment system fitted with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, to help keep both drivers and passengers connected and entertained while full-folding second-row seats allow for the expansion of cargo space (total capacity of 550 litres), making the car ready for spontaneous adventures.

Meanwhile, the VF Wild concept highlights VinFast's innovative efforts to create a pickup truck with exceptional performance, catering to the new generation of consumers looking for innovation and eco-friendliness without compromising performance and durability.

With an overall length of 209 inches (5324mm) and a width of 79 inches (1997mm), VF Wild's dimensions place it in the mid-size pickup category. This efficiently packaged mid-size footprint is further enhanced by VF Wild's flexible bed size.

The vehicle combines the practicality of a power-folding mid-gate to provide a class-leading bed length designed to expand from 5 to 8 feet with the rear seats folded down automatically, equipping the VF Wild with the largest bed in its segment. With the functionality of the expanding bed, work and play can be done in style and comfort. The design also integrates a panoramic glass roof and digital side mirrors to improve aerodynamics.

The VF Wild concept was jointly developed by VinFast and the Australian design studio GoMotiv. The design was developed over 8,000 hours and involved many designers, boasting a striking "Fluid Dynamism" aesthetic that is uniquely designed for the VF Wild concept, inspired by the flowing motion of a superhero's cape in the wind.

VinFast's brand-new electric vehicle concept was marked with a pivotal naming convention. "Wild" represents "the force of nature" and embodies the brand's ethos of breaking boundaries to venture beyond and signifies its ongoing commitment toward a green future for everyone.
