has gone on sale in Indonesia, where the compact EV hatchback is priced from Rp 242 juta. That’s equivalent to just RM70k, but for that sum, you get the car without the battery. There’s a battery leasing programme to get you moving, of course, but if you want to own the battery, the Vietnamese EV is priced at Rp 310 juta all-in.
There are three packages in the battery leasing programme. The first one is Rp 990,000 with a mileage cap of 1,500 km per month. The next step up is Rp 1.415 juta to double up the mileage cap to 3,000 km, which should cover all but the heaviest of users. The costliest package is Rp 2.36 juta for mileage above 3,000 km per month.
EV battery leasing isn’t a thing in Malaysia yet, but would you pay these prices per month in exchange for a lower vehicle purchase price? Anyway, VinFast Indonesia is selling the VF5 together with the battery for Rp 310 juta , and the 29.6 kWh pack has a unlimited mileage warranty of eight years. The vehicle warranty is seven years or 160,000 km.
The modern-looking VF5 is 3,965 mm long, 1,720 mm wide and 1,580 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,513 mm. That makes the compact crossover slightly larger than the Perodua Myvi. In Vietnam, the sole VF5 Plus variant is priced from VND 458 million with a 37.23 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery for 326 km NEDC range. DC fast charging gets the battery from 10-70% state of charge in 30 minutes.
A front-mounted electric motor rated at 136 PS gets the VF5 from 0-100 km/h in 10.9 seconds. In Thailand, where we checked out the VF5 at theminimum price of RM100k for EVsDanny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats. He has been in the auto industry since 2006, previously filling the pages of two motoring magazines before joining this website. Enjoys detailing the experience more than the technical details.
