VinFast VF31

In the second half of January 2021, VinFast officially introduced the range of its first electric cars, consisting of three crossovers of different sizes.[1] The smallest of them was the subcompact model called VF31, which maintains its characteristic proportions with a narrow and high body, as well as a rounded silhouette.

The front section is adorned with two-level headlamps consisting of higher LED daytime running LEDs and lower lenses with road lights. In the passenger compartment, which is kept in a uniform dark color, the central console is dominated by vertical, touchscreen display for controlling the multimedia system. Contrary to the previous LUX A2.0 and LUX SA2.0 models, the vehicle was based on a self-construction platform.[2]

First, the VF31 will go on sale in the domestic Vietnamese market, where the manufacturer plans to start collecting orders in May 2021, making deliveries from November of the same year.[3] As in the case of the larger VF32 and VF33 models, in 2022, as part of the global expansion, the VF31 will also be sold in Europe, Australia, the United States and Canada.[3]

The VF31 offers a choice of two drive variants. The choice will be a 114-horsepower or 201-horsepower drive system, both of which, thanks to a 42 kWh battery, will be able to reach a range of 300 kilometers on a single charge.[4]
