What is the VinFast VF6?
The upcoming VinFast VF6 is an EV that will be about the same size as the subcompact Kia Niro EV. The VF6 is poised to deliver a green performance at a much more reasonable price than competitors! With an expected MSRP of about $30,000, it’ll appeal to drivers shopping for a great deal on battery-powered cruising.
The Vietnamese automaker VinFast made its American debut just last year with its compact crossover EV, the 2023 VinFast VF8. The midsize, three-row VF9 EV arrived soon afterward, first appearing for the 2024 model year. We expect the extra-small VF6 to arrive next year (or possibly the one after that)!
What’s the VinFast VF6 battery range?
Unfortunately, we don’t know much about the upcoming VF6 right now. VinFast has been keeping most details under wraps. However, we can reveal some powertrain specs! This extra-small crossover EV will be available as two trim models, the Eco and Plus. The VF6 Eco will offer the longest battery range, traveling an estimated 248 miles between charges. And the increasingly upscale VF6 Plus will offer more power, reducing battery range slightly to 237 miles. Both EVs feature the same 59.6kWh battery and a single motor that powers the front wheels!
VF6 Eco
- 174 horsepower
- 184 pound-feet of torque
- 248-mile range
VF6 Plus
- 201 horsepower
- 228 pound-feet of torque
- 237-mile range
How much is it to lease the VinFast VF6?
You can’t lease the VinFast VF6 just yet! While it hasn’t been released in the U.S., VinFast’s uniquely affordable crossover EV will get here eventually. When it does, you’ll be able to lease it from us. Call or text us at Alan Jay VinFast for details on the upcoming VF6!
If you’re looking to capitalize on a great deal right now, VinFast has another EV for you — the VF8. Right now, you can lease VinFast’s upscale compact crossover EV starting at $199 a month, for 36 months, with $0 down!) It doesn’t get any better than that.
Is VinFast owned by China?
No. VinFast is Vietnam’s first EV company, as well as the first Vietnamese automaker to produce vehicles on an international scale! At its Vietnam factory, the company also enjoys a partnership with the American automaker General Motors and its Chevrolet division.
To help keep its VinFast EVs affordable, the automaker has already broken ground on a new manufacturing plant in North Carolina. Perhaps by the time the VF6 is officially released in the U.S., it’ll be rolling off an American assembly line!
