(Dan Tri) – This is not a general promotion program of distributor and assembler TMT Motors, but just a special offer of a dealer for the low version Wuling Mini EV model.
After the official selling price of VinFast VF 3 was announced, topics surrounding this car model attracted the community’s attention, including information about its direct competitor, Wuling Mini EV.
Recently, the news that this small electric car model had its price reduced by 50 million VND to 189 million VND was widely spread on social networks.

Talking to Dan Tri reporter, a representative of TMT Motors said this is a separate promotion from a dealer in Gia Lai, applicable to the LV1-120 version of Wuling Mini EV.
As for the company, the car is still sold at the listed price, starting from 239 million VND and reaching a maximum of 279 million VND, depending on the version.

At showrooms in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Wuling Mini EV is not discounted that much.
Wuling Mini EV has the highest listed price of up to 279 million VND in the LV2-170 variant.
Experts say that the fact that dealers have actively reduced the price of Wuling Mini EV recently can be considered a move to `clear out inventory`.

In the context that VinFast VF 3 has just been opened, experts believe that Wuling Mini EV needs to be upgraded to be more competitive.
Specifically, the new generation engine produces 40 horsepower and 92Nm (the current version has parameters of 26.8 horsepower and 85Nm).

If brought to Vietnam with the above upgrades, the selling price of Wuling Mini EV 2024 is expected to increase.
Products from Vietnamese brands have an advantage over Wuling Mini EV in the public charging stations developed by the company that almost cover the entire country;

It is expected that VinFast VF 3 will start being delivered from August. The car is more personalized than the Wuling Mini EV with up to 9 exterior color options for users to choose from (including 5 advanced colors).
In addition, Vietnamese customers can also choose the color of their choice from the color palette, for an additional fee of 15 million VND.
VinFast VF 3 also has a 3-door design similar to Wuling Mini EV but has more spacious seating space thanks to a wheelbase of 2,075mm (Photo: Gia An).
