Electric SUV on Shopee? Discover the VF 3, a model from the Vietnamese brand VinFast, which promises a range of 285 km and several technologies for less than R$50.
The growing acceptance of electric cars is becoming a reality, driven by recent announcements of affordable models. Vietnamese automaker VinFast brings to the market a new electric SUV available on Shopee, which promises to revolutionize the segment. With a strictly urban proposal, the model is designed to attract a younger audience and could become a great success.
New electric SUV on Shopee shakes up the market in its country of origin
The VinFast model is an extremely compact electric SUV, measuring 3,19 meters, almost the same as the Caoa Chery iCar, which is 3,20 m. The SUV's difference is that it can be purchased online, via Shopee, for around R$48 thousand. That's the idea behind VinFast VF 3.
It is worth mentioning that VinFast is a manufacturer from Vietnam, and VF 3 is the name of the car. Due to its affordable price and a number of other reasons, this electric SUV on Shopee has shaken up the car market in its home country. And now he seeks to conquer the world in a curious way: being sold by Shopee.

VinFast's new electric SUV was initially revealed earlier this year, at CES, an annual fair for new technologies and trends that takes place in Las Vegas (USA). The electric SUV costs 235 million Vietnamese dongs, which in direct conversion results in something close to R$47.400, but without the batteries. With them included, the value rises to 315 million dongs, something close to R$63.500 converted into our currency.
VinFast electric SUV delivers up to 285 km of autonomy
With the size of a Caoa Chery iCar, the jeep has an impressive 550 liters of trunk if the rear seats are folded down. You can see from the design that there is a need to choose for the rear: either you carry luggage, or you carry people. There are only two doors, as you would imagine. However, there is a good equipment package in the cabin, such as a multimedia center with a 10-inch screen with CarPlay and Android Auto.
The newthe electric SUV on Shopee has not yet had its technical data revealed about the engine, considering that it is still in its debut phase. However, VinFast has already stated that it will have an estimated range of 285 km in the Chinese cycle, which is quite generous, or 237 km in the European WLTP, which is a little more strict and a maximum speed of 100 km/h.
The VinFast model proposal, therefore, is a predominantly urban cart that promises to be successful. In its country of origin alone, there were almost 28 thousand orders in just over two days. More than 50% of them online.
VinFast comments on its electric SUV available on Shopee
According to Duke Hale, advisor to the Vietnamese brand, around 100 dealers were interested in selling the electric SUV, largely due to the very aggressive price. For Hale, dealers liked the entire line, but the VF 3 had an almost 100% response. They really liked the model and the reason is probably its sub-$20 price tag.
Ms. Tran Mai Hoa, Deputy CEO of Sales and Marketing brand, with the global launch of this affordable electric car, the company is pleased to introduce a new electric car to its lineup. More importantly, it is providing a new companion for a generation of young drivers, who value practicality alongside personality.
VF 3 focuses on decoupling the imagination of urban mobility that is not only sustainable, but also accessible for everyone.
