Introduction
VinFast, established in 2017 by Vietnam’s Vingroup, is an all-electric vehicle manufacturer aiming to compete on a global scale. Initially producing internal combustion cars, the company pivoted entirely to EVs in 2021. Known for rapid development cycles and vertically integrated manufacturing, VinFast combines design from Italy, engineering from Germany, and global ambition. Its goal is to offer a full spectrum of electric vehicles—from city hatchbacks to large SUVs—built with innovative technology and user-friendly features.

VinFast’s entry into KSA is part of its broader Middle East expansion strategy. While the brand already has a presence in the UAE, it has confirmed its plans to establish a retail and service network across the Gulf, including in KSA. The company’s goal is to support local EV adoption by offering accessible pricing, service-ready vehicles, and support for charging infrastructure.
