2026 VinFast VF3 Price Design Spec and Performance

Overview

A cheap, boxy electric hatchback is reportedly coming to the VinFast lineup as the 2026 VinFast VF3. Its sleek looks make it look like a shrunken-down SUV, but the VF3 handles like a truck as a diminutive hatchback. No word yet on how many electric motors it will have or what size battery will be on board, but Vinfast says we can expect a range of around 125 miles per charge.

It’s not much of a driving force in the Charge, but it’s the VF3’s starting price that will likely make buyers more interested. Vinfast says it’s targeting a starting price under $20,000 for its small hatchback, which would make it the least expensive EV on the market if the company could pull it off. Just don’t expect to fit your entire family inside.

There are four seats, but we think the backs are quite cramped. The 2026 VinFast VF3 concept sports a simple interior with a 10.0-inch screen behind the steering wheel for gauges and infotainment. The 2026 VinFast VF3 is cramped, so expect to rub elbows with your passenger. As we learn more about 2026 VinFast VF3, we’ll update this story with details.

What’s new for 2026?

If the VF3 does indeed make it to the US, it will compete with other small EVs such as the Fiat 500e and Mini Cooper Electric. The company hasn’t set an estimated timeline for the car’s launch, but we don’t expect to see it until at least the 2026 model year.

The A-pillar is blackened, and a black decoration is added in the middle of the C-pillar to create the effect of a suspended roof. The body color is bright yellow.

The sides are also decorated with silver trim strips, the rear bumper is prominent, and the black trim panel is wide.

The wheelbase is expected to be about 2 meters, and the second row space will not be very generous.
