VinFast teases new electric scooter and launches low‑price VF 2 mini‑car
VinFast posted a silhouette image of a forthcoming electric scooter, highlighting a distinctive V‑shaped daytime LED strip that mirrors the lighting branding used on its cars. The design, also seen in a recent Indian design‑registration filing, suggests the model will debut first in India before a broader release. No technical specifications or launch date have been confirmed, but the teaser follows VinFast’s recent price cuts for its existing electric‑motorcycle range in Vietnam and its push to expand internationally.
Separately, VinFast announced the VF 2 mini‑car, a compact electric vehicle aimed at urban drivers, especially women. Measuring just 3 m in length and under 1.5 m wide, the VF 2 offers easy maneuverability in crowded streets. Priced at 188 million VND (about US$100), early‑bird discounts could bring the cost down to 100 million VND, with additional vouchers for existing VinFast owners. The car features a rear‑motor electric drivetrain rated at 30 kW and 65 Nm, MacPherson independent suspension, and low maintenance costs, positioning it as an affordable entry‑level electric car for city use.
