The VinFast VF e34 was officially launched in March 2021 and the first units were delivered to customers in December 2021. It is positioned as a mid-size electric SUV to compete with gasoline rivals like the Kia Seltos, Honda HR-V, and Toyota Corolla Cross.
Some key specs of the VF e34 include a 42kWh lithium-ion battery providing an estimated range of 300km on a single charge.

Advanced driver assistance systems provide safety & convenience.
Registration fees (including 10% VAT) for electric vehicles like the VF e34 are 0% for the first 3 years from purchase and then half the normal rate of equivalent gasoline vehicles for the next 2 years. This presents significant savings for buyers versus gasoline rivals. The manufacturer also offers a 10-year warranty program for the VF e34, longer than industry standards.
