Owners of the new cars have been given a unique opportunity to install the Vinfast logo on their car’s wheels. Their car was then ready for a test drive before being signed off to roll out of the production line.

“Perfect” was the remark of Le Viet Hai, chairman of Hoa Binh Construction JSC, when he completed the test drive of the LUX SA2.0.

“I think highly of VinFast for not only its effort in building the factory plant in merely 21 months to make ‘the very miracle of Vietnam’, but also its work to create quality products on par with German-quality high-end cars. VinFast car deserves to be the car of the nation,” said Hai.
