VinFast redefines premium experience with VF 9

Thanks to outstanding equipment in its price range and unprecedented privileges on the market, VinFast is redefining the luxury car experience for Vietnamese customers with VF 9.

Comfort in a business-class car Having owned a luxury SUV from Europe and then bought a VinFast VF 9, Mr. Nguyen Cong Minh (Ho Chi Minh City) commented that the captain's seat of the SUV from Vietnam brings a completely superior experience. Mr. Minh is a business owner so he often sits in the back seat. He highly appreciates the comfort of the captain's seat, the convenience of the heating, drying, and massage features integrated into the seat, the soft-close doors... and the smoothness of the air suspension system. Sharing the same opinion, Mr. Tran Nghia (owner of a car salon in Hanoi) said: "The captain's seat on the VF 9 gives an experience like few luxury SUVs from major brands in the world. The car seat is very comfortable, especially on long trips" , Mr. Nghia highly appreciated the back seat of the VF 9 when testing the "presidential" car.

The VF 9's cabin elevates the driving experience to a new level.

In addition, according to Mr. Nghia's assessment, the VF 9 is a comprehensive vehicle, not only providing a business-class experience in the back but also for the boss who loves to drive. Accordingly, the highlight of this large SUV comes from technology and the transmission system. In terms of technology, it is a large screen with integrated multi-functions including a smart virtual assistant, the ability to connect to smartphones and many ADAS safety driving support features, including level 2 features. In terms of operation, the 402-horsepower electric motor and AWD drive system provide acceleration and traction equivalent to a high-performance sports car. "Driving and sitting in the back of the VF 9 is very enjoyable. The car accelerates quickly, with almost no delay. The air suspension system works very effectively, smoothly and immediately dampens vibrations. If you sit in the business seat, it is a perfect experience on long trips," Mr. Nghia commented. Redefining the luxury car experience in Vietnam Thanks to the battery rental policy, the starting price of VinFast VF 9 is only 1.5 billion VND. The most advanced VF 9 Plus version with the captain's seat option is priced from only 1.8 billion VND. As a long-time luxury car dealer, Mr. Nghia believes that under 2 billion VND, no SUV model offers such a business experience. However, according to Mr. Nghia, in addition to equipment and parameters beyond the segment, the accompanying privileges and services will be the key points that make the VF 9 have a real "value" beyond "value" and help change the concept of luxury cars in Vietnam. Specifically, recently, VinFast announced increased benefits for VF 9 customers with many unprecedented privileges in the market.

Owning VF 9, users receive "unprecedented" incentives.

Notably, the benefit of free charging at genuine public charging stations until May 31, 2026 is for all customers who own VF 9. Thus, if the battery is purchased outright, the cost of using VF 9 in the next 2 years will only be for... car washing or maintenance costs, which are already very low compared to gasoline vehicles. In addition, VF 9 owners also have privileges such as being supported 24/7 by a team of dedicated customer care specialists from the switchboard; priority service when using maintenance and repair services at the service workshop... When arriving at the workshop, all VF 9 customers will be welcomed and advised by experienced and highly skilled service consultants. Next, the vehicle will be handled by the best technicians and will only leave the workshop after being thoroughly inspected for quality by the foreman. If customers are busy and have difficulty arranging time, VinFast also supports free vehicle delivery within a maximum radius of 30 km from the nearest service workshop. "Before announcing the new policy, VF 9 had a 10-year warranty, which was the best on the market. Adding these privileges is truly an unprecedented experience for a car model in the price range of under 2 billion VND" , Mr. Nghia said that the special and long-term care policies will make VF 9 owners feel secure in using it for a long time. More specifically, all customers who are and will own VF 9 can exchange for a new car at any time during the vehicle's life cycle. The company will commit to buying back used cars at an attractive price of up to 81% of the car's value for cars used for 24 months, 73% for cars used for 36 months. Car owners can also switch from renting a battery to buying a battery, upgrade to a higher version or add optional equipment by paying the difference according to the actual value at the time of exchange. The registration period ends on December 31, 2024. In addition, from June 1, 2024, all customers who buy VF 9 will be committed to buying back their cars by VinFast at a price equivalent to 78% of the original price after 24 months of use and 70% of the original price after 36 months of use. "VinFast's sales policy creates very favorable conditions for those who like to experience the car . For example, those who pioneered the Eco version can switch to the Plus version, experience the panoramic glass roof or the captain's seat. Car buyers can also feel secure using the car because they are taken care of very well and the car holds its value. These are completely superior standards in the market, " said Mr. Pham Huynh Van Khanh, owner of a VF 9 in Ho Chi Minh City. For him, VinFast always brings the best benefits to customers, from the time of purchasing the car until the end of its life cycle. Mr. Khanh shared that before announcing the new policy, VF 9 car owners had received a series of incentives from the VinFast Community such as discounts on services at Vinmec, Vinpearl, discounts when buying VinFast accessories... and regularly participating in online and offline activities with other electric car owners. This is something that is hard to find in car companies on the market. "VinFast's pioneering is bringing a new definition of high-end service standards to the market. Not only VF 9 car owners benefit, but more broadly, Vietnamese consumers in general because other car companies also have to upgrade and improve their quality to avoid falling too far behind," Mr. Khanh assessed.

In addition to the privileges for VF 9 car owners, owners of other VinFast electric car models will also be able to charge for free at genuine charging stations from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2025, free parking for less than 5 hours and priority parking at all locations in the Vingroup ecosystem from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2026. For car owners who are Vinhomes residents, the privilege of free parking and charging will last for 2 years from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2026. In case residents choose to charge at home, Vingroup will support them in installing charging stations at their doorstep with a support cost of up to VND 10 million/station, providing VND 900,000/car/month for charging costs during the above period, and will also be given priority in arranging parking slots if there are available spaces.
