Eco Features
Despite its low expected price, the Eco should cover the essentials. A 10-inch floating touchscreen handles infotainment and also shows your speed and range. Moreover, it supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other features include an electronic parking brake, 4-way adjustable front seats and fold-flat rear seats. A rear parking camera should also help when reversing into tight spots.
Safety Features
Globally, the VF3 gets ABS, EBD, traction control and hill start assist. In addition, seatbelt pretensioners and automatic door locking while driving come standard. However, VinFast hasn’t confirmed the India-spec airbag count yet.
VinFast VF3 Eco Charging Time
On a DC fast charger, the Eco charges from 10 to 70% in about 36 minutes. At home, a full charge takes roughly 5 hours. Therefore, most owners can simply plug in overnight and start each day with a full battery.
Eco vs Plus
| Detail | Eco | Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Expected ex-showroom price | Rs 7.5 lakh | Rs 10 lakh |
| Battery and range | 18.64 kWh, about 215 km | 18.64 kWh, about 215 km |
| Motor | About 43 bhp | About 43 bhp |
| 10-inch touchscreen | ✓ | ✓ |
Both versions should share the same battery and motor, so range and performance stay the same. The VF3 Plus should add more equipment, though VinFast hasn’t confirmed the details yet. Therefore, the Eco may offer the best value for buyers focused on price.
Colour Options
The Eco should come in shades like Infinity Blanc, Zenith Grey, Solar Ruby and Urban Mint. In addition, dual-tone options like Summer Yellow, Sky Blue and Rose Pink come with a white roof.
