At the Geneva International Motor Show in Qatar on
Wednesday, Vietnam electric vehicle maker VinFast made its official
introduction to the Middle East market with four new revolutionary EV models.
VinFast is not only showcasing their cars at this event
outside of Switzerland, which has hosted GIMS since 1905 – but it’s also
utilizing this unique platform to research investment and partnership
opportunities in the Middle East region.
The debut of these EVs marks not only a major milestone for
VinFast but also a huge step forward for EV adoption within the region and
worldwide as well.
VinFast, the new age electric vehicle manufacturer founded
in 2017 by Vietnam-based Vingroup, is planning for a swift expansion to Middle
Eastern markets.
The strategy is based on Madam Le Thi Thu Thuy, Vice
Chairwoman of Vingroup and Global CEO of VinFast’s vision that “markets which
have experienced tremendous enthusiasm towards electric vehicles should be
given special attention from us.”
Indeed, with technology giants such as Tesla and Lucid
Motors looking to build factories in the UAE – amongst many other announcements
for EVs coming into fruition over time – the region is witnessing a significant
shift towards electrified mobility as well as exponential growth estimated to
occur within the near future.
The Qatar round of the Geneva International Motor Show was
therefore a key platform to expose Vinfast’s products to the public, as well
partnering with local investors and entrepreneurs who could explore more of
VinFast’s innovations.
VinFast has made a splash at the Geneva International Motor
Show 2023 by showcasing its revolutionary new electric vehicles, the VF 6, VF
7, VF 8 and VF 9.
Defined by their stylish design, modern technology features
and advanced safety credentials.
The first two models– the VF 6 and the VF 7 are both
designed by Torino Design– aiming to bring an affordable green lifestyle for
young families in one package with youthful but sophisticated styling.
While they’re perfect eco-friendly options for those on a
budget who want a city car or family runaround car, VinFast also offers higher
end products for successful young people: The model 7.
This one handsomely sports more luxurious features such as
alloy wheels or chrome trims on certain market spec models without costing you
an arm and leg to own it!

fashionable and classy designs to appeal to young professionals.
On top of providing a smarter and safer driving experiences
for consumers, VinFast also offers outstanding after-sales policies such as 10
years/125,000 miles warranty for vehicles and 10 year unlimited miles warranty
on batteries!
Global reservations have already been opened up since 2023–
and deliveries have already been initiated in North America markets
specifically for the VF 8 model.
The Middle East is a strategic market for VinFast and the EV
company is planning to expand further into it.
The Vietnamese startup has been making strides in the auto
industry, recently debuting its revolutionary EVs at 2023’s Geneva
International Motor Show.
With a comprehensive product pipeline of electric scooters,
cars, buses and charging components, they are focusing their sights on green
mobility solutions.
VinFast is currently operating in Vietnam, the U.S., Canada
& Europe and aim to seek partnerships with Middle Eastern companies that
can aid them in their research and development processes for electric vehicles
going forward.
Vehicle testing activities conducted by the brand have
already taken place across Dubai (UAE), Qatar & Bahrain – so it won’t be
too long before they bring their innovative customer-driven technologies to
this region as well!
