VinFast Segments Portfolio into Three Brands, Unveils Ultra-Luxury Models
Event summary
- VinFast restructured its automotive portfolio into three strategic brand lines: Lac Hong (ultra-luxury), VF (mass-market EVs), and Green (commercial mobility).
- The company unveiled two new ultra-luxury models, the Lac Hong 800S and 900S, set for commercial launch in 2027.
- Lac Hong models feature advanced suspension, tri-motor powertrain (up to 460 kW), and premium materials like Nappa leather and gold-plated accents.
- VinFast has maintained Vietnam's top EV market position for 16 consecutive months, delivering 175,099 vehicles in 2025.
The big picture
VinFast's restructuring reflects a strategic shift toward premium positioning amid intense global EV competition. The move comes as the company solidifies its domestic dominance and seeks to elevate its brand beyond cost-competitive offerings. The ultra-luxury Lac Hong line targets affluent buyers, potentially competing with established players like Mercedes-Benz and BMW in emerging markets.
