VinFast VF 5: the compact EV perfect for city living in the Philippines

Electric vehicles are no longer a niche—they’re the smart choice for modern Filipino drivers. The VinFast VF 5 proves that going electric can be stylish, practical, and affordable all at once. With its compact size, advanced technology, and spacious interior, the VF 5 is turning heads on Philippine roads and redefining what a city EV can be.

Practical design built for urban life

City driving demands a vehicle that’s nimble, efficient, and easy to park. At just under four meters long, the VF 5 navigates Metro Manila traffic and tight parking spaces effortlessly. Inside, clever cabin design maximizes headroom, legroom, and cargo space, making it ideal for solo commuters, young couples, or small families.

Efficiency, savings, and EV readiness

The VF 5 offers cost savings that traditional gas cars simply can’t match. Say goodbye to fuel costs, enjoy fewer maintenance visits, and take advantage of zero excise tax under the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA). VinFast sweetens the deal by offering free public charging at V-GREEN stations nationwide until 2027, making ownership even more affordable.

Power and range for everyday and weekend drives

Don’t let its size fool you—the VF 5 delivers 100 kW (134 hp) and 135 Nm of torque, giving smooth acceleration and confident city driving. A full charge covers up to 326 kilometers (NEDC), enough for multiple days of commuting or weekend trips to Pampanga or Batangas. Fast-charging tops the battery from 10 to 70 percent in just 30 minutes, perfect for busy schedules or spontaneous getaways.

Safety and connectivity at the forefront

Every VF 5 comes with modern tech and safety features that make driving easier and more secure. An 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps you connected. Standard features include keyless entry, push-start ignition, cruise control, six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a reinforced safety frame—peace of mind for all passengers.

Global design with youthful appeal

Designed by Torino Design, the VF 5 stands out with bold proportions, crisp lines, and an expressive front fascia. Customizable two-tone color options add personality and style, appealing to younger and design-conscious drivers. Whether parked in Bonifacio Global City or outside a provincial resort, the VF 5 captures the energy and versatility of modern Filipino lifestyles.
