City Starter VF 5

VinFast’s VF 5 keeps the EV switch simple for Filipino first-time buyers. Free public charging at V-GREEN stations until 2027 and zero excise tax under EVIDA lower running costs, while growing infrastructure makes daily charging easier.

Designed for tight streets and tighter parking, the sub-4-meter crossover sits a touch higher than a small hatch, so it feels SUV-confident without the bulk. Despite its compact footprint, the cabin is spacious enough for school runs and errands, with flexible cargo space for a quick grocery haul.

Power delivery is smooth and city-friendly from a 100 kW motor rated at 135 Nm. Range is listed at up to 326 km on NEDC, enough for several days of commuting or a quick out-of-town drive. Fast charging brings the battery from 10 to 70 percent in around 30 minutes, matching busy schedules and spur-of-the-moment trips.

Standard tech centers on an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Everyday convenience features include keyless entry, push start, and cruise control. Safety kit covers six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a reinforced frame.

Styling comes from Italy’s Torino Design, with crisp lines, a bold face, and available two-tone finishes that suit city life from BGC to weekend stays out of town. The package targets new owners, young professionals, eco-minded drivers, and families looking for a practical second car that trims fuel and maintenance costs without trimming comfort.
