VINFAST TO PARTICIPATE IN ELECTRIFY EXPO CHICAGO 2025

CHICAGO, September 11, 2025 – VinFast, the Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer, is set to make a splash at Electrify Expo Chicago 2025, scheduled for September 13-14 at Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The company’s participation in one of North America’s premier EV events underscores its commitment to the burgeoning North American market and signals an aggressive phase in its global expansion strategy.

Electrify Expo Chicago, known for its expansive nearly 1-million-square-foot venue, attracts key players in the automotive industry and thousands of potential customers. The event offers an immersive experience encompassing test drives, interactive exhibits, and live entertainment, providing a crucial platform for EV manufacturers to connect directly with consumers.

VinFast will showcase its VF 8 mid-size SUV and VF 9 full-size SUV. These vehicles are pivotal to VinFast’s strategy, emphasizing design, intelligent technology integration, all-wheel-drive capabilities, and stringent safety standards. The vehicles’ design, helmed by Pininfarina, exemplifies VinFast’s ambition to meld luxury aesthetics with sustainable technology.

Attendees will have the opportunity to test drive both the VF 8 and VF 9, experiencing firsthand the performance and features of VinFast’s all-electric lineup. This hands-on engagement is crucial for building consumer confidence in a relatively new brand entering a competitive market.

The VinFast booth will feature a modern design, reflecting the company’s dedication to sustainable mobility. VinFast product specialists will be available to provide detailed information on vehicle specifications, purchasing options, and after-sales support.

“VinFast’s presence at Electrify Expo Chicago reinforces our commitment to partnering with American consumers in shaping the future of electric transportation,” stated VinFast North America’s VP of Marketing. “This event, in collaboration with our local dealer VinFast Lisle, is vital for bolstering our dealer network, raising brand awareness within the local market, and nurturing meaningful community relationships.”

The VF 8 starts at $39,900 for the Eco trim and $44,900 for the Plus trim, alongside competitive lease options starting at $279 per month. The VF 9 is priced from $62,900, with lease rates beginning at $449 per month. VinFast is additionally offering 0% financing promotions on both models.

All VinFast EVs sold in the U.S. come with a comprehensive warranty: 10 years or 125,000 miles for the vehicle, and 10 years with unlimited mileage for the battery (excluding commercial use). The company aims to alleviate consumer concerns regarding long-term ownership costs and battery longevity, which have been key barriers to EV adoption. VinFast is hoping this will provide an edge over competitors as they enter new markets.

VinFast’s participation in Electrify Expo Chicago signals the company’s confidence in its product and its ambition to gain US market share. This event also provides a platform for direct consumer interaction.

VinFast recently shifted from a direct-to-consumer sales model to a dealership-based network, partnering with dealerships across 14 states. This move aligns with industry standards and aims to enhance customer service and accessibility.

Beyond North America and Europe, VinFast is targeting high-growth markets, including Indonesia, the Philippines, India, and the Middle East. The company’s diverse portfolio, from the compact VF 3 to the full-size VF 9, positions it as a key player in the global EV transition.

The company maintains a flexible approach to its business strategies, constantly adapting to market dynamics and macroeconomic conditions to achieve its vision of driving the global green revolution.
