Car garage owner buys and reviews VF 3: Easily customizable, 'modding' with 20 million VND is enough to look good

Users often have a need for customization and personalization of their vehicles, in order to increase practicality or create a unique identity for themselves. This need is greater for affordable car models, as the initial investment cost is not high, making it easy for customers to consider installing additional "accessories".

This formula is also applied to the VinFast VF 3, a mini SUV model that just officially delivered to customers on August 1. During the VF 3 deposit acceptance process, there were no shortage of "customized" images of the car being circulated on social media.

Even though they are merely the product of photo editing software, these images show the community's anticipation for the high potential for individual customization of this car model.

Mr. Le Dang Trung, the owner of a well-known car accessories garage, is one of the first customers to receive the VinFast VF 3. Like many others present at the event, he highly rated the finish quality of this small electric car.

"The initial impression is that the overall exterior is very beautiful, despite using some plastic details, it still gives a solid feeling. The interior equipment, I consider to be at a moderate level, sufficient for use, the seats are covered with cloth but designed quite sporty," Mr. Trung commented.

In a discussion with a reporter from Dan Tri, Mr. Trung stated that the VinFast VF 3 is a car model with high potential for customization and personalization. The car comes with 16-inch steel wheels, originally black painted which looks quite sturdy, but if users want it to be more eye-catching, they can install additional wheel covers, with costs ranging from a few hundred thousand dong.

Mr. Trung believes that wheel covers may become a "hot" product in the "accessories" market for the VinFast VF 3 in the near future (Photo: Nguyễn Lâm).

Furthermore, Mr. Trung believes that new VF 3 users are likely to have a need for window tinting, installing some interior accessories to make the car more convenient, such as phone holders, hooks for hanging items... If they want to personalize, customers can add decals, cover the seats with leather matching the exterior paint color.

Similar to other mini car models, storage space in the VinFast VF 3 is limited due to its primary urban use. Therefore, Mr. Trung believes that some users will have the need to install side boxes or a roof rack. These additional features not only make the car more practical but also demonstrate a good level of personalization.

In the front of the car, the VinFast VF 3 is equipped with halogen lights which may be dim compared to the needs of some users, they can replace them with LED bulbs or even switch to a type of light with better illumination capacity, as noted by the garage owner.

In addition to the front lights, users can also replace the chrome trim around the bird beak grille with LED lights, simply by removing the plastic part, without affecting the grille.

Overall, the VinFast VF 3 is a car model that is easy to customize, personalize, and at a low cost.

"Users only need to spend an additional 20 million dong and the car will be beautiful, stylish, and more convenient. Accessories such as side boxes or roof racks may be more costly but it depends on the user's needs so not everyone will add them," Mr. Trung evaluated and said that he will experiment and install them on his own VF 3.

It is expected that this year, VinFast will deliver a minimum of 20,000 VF 3 cars to customers who have made deposits (Photo: Nguyễn Lâm).
