After just one year of brand building, VinFast has evolved from a market newcomer into an electric vehicle brand with a rapidly expanding presence and growing recognition among Filipino consumers.
Today, VinFast stands as a representative of Southeast Asia in the global electric vehicle race, demonstrating that the region is no longer merely a follower, but an active contributor to the future of mobility.
Entering 2026, VinFast does so with strong confidence. Its dealership network is set to continue expanding, supported by a series of breakthrough policies and, most importantly, a significantly broadened product lineup.
During its recent Media & KOL Thanksgiving Event in Manila, the company shared how this momentum is shaping its priorities for the year ahead, centered on broader vehicle offerings and a stronger support ecosystem for everyday EV ownership.
With a portfolio spanning from the VF 3 and VF 5 to the VF 6, VF 7, and VF 9, VinFast addresses diverse mobility needs while offering options across multiple price points. In 2026, VinFast also plans to introduce electric scooters and an MPV in the Philippines, vehicle segments with high market demand and strong growth potential, aimed at further accelerating market penetration and expanding its share in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic automotive markets.
The Road Ahead, Shared With Partners
VinFast brought together media leaders, KOLs, and industry partners for its Thanksgiving gathering themed “The Road We Share,” to recognize their role in the brand’s journey in the Philippines and to mark the transition into its next stage of growth.
Held at Palacio de Memoria in Taguig, the event gathered VinFast executives, journalists, and content creators for an immersive evening highlighting the shared progress between Vietnam and the Philippines, from cultural performances and collaborative art installations to conversations around product expansion, dealer network growth, and charging infrastructure development.
“We are entering 2026 with strong momentum, built on the trust and support we have earned in the Philippines over the past two years,” said Toti Zara, CEO of VinFast Southeast Asia. “This year is about accelerating, expanding access, strengthening our ecosystem, and making electric mobility a source of confidence and pride for Filipino drivers.”
By sharing its plans in this setting, VinFast underscored that its next phase of growth will be built not in isolation, but in close partnership with the local market it aims to serve.
Powering Everyday EV Ownership Across the Philippines
Building on its early momentum, VinFast is scaling up its ambitions in 2026 with a stronger focus on larger, more versatile vehicles. The VF 6, VF 7, and VF 9 are set to become the company’s core growth drivers in the Philippines, responding to rising demand for spacious, family-friendly electric SUVs designed for both daily commutes and long-distance travel.
Beyond SUVs, VinFast also plans to introduce electric scooters and electric multi-purpose vehicles (MPV), further broadening its portfolio to serve a wide range of mobility needs, from urban commuters to growing Filipino households.
Supporting this expanded lineup is a growing nationwide retail and service presence. VinFast currently operates 30 dealerships and 34 service workshops across the country and plans to scale this within the year, prioritizing major cities and high-potential regions to make sales and aftersales support more accessible and convenient for customers.
At the same time, the company’s ecosystem push extends to charging infrastructure. Through V-GREEN, VinFast is steadily rolling out charging stations across key urban centers and major transport corridors, with further expansion planned for 2026 to support both electric cars and electric two-wheelers. This growing network is aimed at reducing range anxiety and strengthening long-term confidence in EV ownership, ensuring that customers are supported not just at the point of purchase, but throughout their transition to electric mobility.
With bigger electric SUVs, new vehicle segments, more dealerships, and a stronger charging backbone, VinFast is positioning itself as a fast-scaling EV brand in the Philippines, offering Filipinos a more complete, convenient, and future-ready electric mobility experience.
