Car maintenance is easy, and long trips don't require much planning.
As his old Innova became increasingly fuel-inefficient and required frequent repairs, Mr. Hoang Long ( Hanoi ) decided to switch to an electric vehicle. After careful consideration, he chose the VF MPV 7 due to its reasonable cost compared to other 7-seater family cars.
"After applying a series of incentives, the price of the car is only around 750 million VND, which is much more economical than gasoline-powered models in the same segment ," he assessed.
When buying a car, Mr. Long said he could choose one of two options: pay 100% to receive a 6% discount or pay in installments with an interest rate of 7% per year for 3 years under the "Intense for a Green Future" program. In May, the policy of trading in gasoline cars for electric cars allowed users to receive an additional 3% discount on the car's value, in addition to the benefit of exemption from registration fees.
Besides the attractive price, the low operating costs are what particularly impressed Mr. Long about the VF MPV 7. Currently, owners are receiving free charging at V-Green's public charging stations for 10 charges per month. According to the owner, compared to the several million dong spent on fuel when using an internal combustion engine vehicle, he clearly sees the economic benefits of the electric vehicle after more than 4 months of use.
" Before, I had to carefully consider every long trip. Traveling by electric vehicle is much easier; I can go anywhere without worrying about anything ," Long shared.
According to the owner, with his previous car, the frequency of maintenance and inspections increased as the car got older. Each time he took the car to the garage, it cost at least 1 million VND, while with the VF MPV 7, he only needs to have it serviced every 15,000 km at a cost of only a few hundred thousand VND.
"Since switching to an electric vehicle, I no longer have to worry about timing maintenance or checking the odometer. It saves both money and time ," he said.
"Press the gas pedal and it accelerates," a spacious cabin for the whole family.
Not only does the VF MPV 7 offer an attractive on-the-road price and economical running costs, but it also provides peace of mind to users with its practical features and superior performance.
Specifically, the VF MPV 7 is developed on a robust chassis platform with a long wheelbase of 2,840 mm. This advantage gives the vehicle a spacious cabin, especially in terms of legroom and usable space in all three rows of seats.
“My family really appreciates the spaciousness that the VF MPV 7 offers. The cargo area is very comfortable; if we're only traveling with 4-5 people, I can fold down the last row of seats to increase luggage space,” Mr. Long shared.
From a professional perspective and experience with various car models, reviewer Toi Nguyen (owner of the OneShot Review channel) stated that when discussing the performance of 7-seater MPVs, it's impossible not to mention the characteristic power of electric vehicles.
With its 210-horsepower electric motor and 280 Nm of maximum torque, the VF MPV 7 offers quick throttle response, allowing for decisive acceleration in situations requiring overtaking or merging.
"Just a light touch on the gas pedal is enough to propel the car forward; there's no need to floor the accelerator ," Toi Nguyen commented.
Not only does the VF MPV 7 excel in acceleration, but it also provides a smooth ride thanks to its multi-link rear suspension system. This is also the factor that impressed reviewer Le Thuong Tien (XeVuiVietNam channel) after conducting tests with the vehicle on uneven terrain.
"When going over speed bumps, the car is very smooth and makes little noise, with no steering wheel vibration at all. Even at high speeds, there is very little shaking ," Mr. Tien assessed.
Its advantages in fuel efficiency and performance are the reasons why the VF MPV 7 quickly gained popularity and became one of the best-selling models in the market, despite only recently entering the segment.
