The VF e34 is an electric SUV in the C/mid-size segment offering a modern design, impressive acceleration, intuitive operation, and abundant integrated smart features that are researched and developed exclusively for the Vietnamese market.
VF e34 has numerous unique features, including its virtual assistant developed by VinBigData, a member company of Vingroup’s technology ecosystem. With multi-regional Vietnamese accent recognition, users can directly interact with the vehicle and control many features conveniently and easily. Customers can also book lots of services supplied by other members of Vingroup such as medical services at Vinmec, entertainment services and flights on Vinpearl app. Furthermore, customers are able to watch movies through FPT Play or shop through Shopee’s own app…. New features and utility services will be continuously updated to customers through remote software installation (FOTA).
To support customers to experience smart features on the VF e34, VinFast has partnered with MobiFone Telecommunication Corporation to offer customers optimal eSIM data packages. Accordingly, each VF e34 delivered will be preinstalled with eSIM, and customers will pay a fee to use eSIM data directly to MobiFone.
With VF e34, VinFast offers an optional advanced feature package worth 60 million VND (approximately $2.600), including driver assistance features in terms of safety, navigation system, geo-limit and time settings. This optional feature package will be given by VinFast as a tribute to more than 25,000 pioneering customers who ordered VF e34 smart electric cars before the opening of sale. Customers who buy a car later will have to pay a fee to use these features.
In the delivery of the first batch of electric vehicles, VinFast also officially announced its new battery rental package for customers in Vietnam. To support customers, VinFast has reduced the minimum package from a distance of 1,400 km/month to 500 km/month. Specifically, the monthly subscription rate is 657,500 VND/month (approximately $30) for a maximum distance of 500km/month. In case of traveling more than 500km/month, customers will pay an additional battery rental fee for VinFast at a unit price of 1,315 VND /km (approximately $0.05). Furthermore, when the battery’s charging capacity drops below 70%, VinFast will replace the new battery completely free of charge for customers.
