Vietnamese electric vehicle giant VinFast has accelerated its Philippine market strategy by announcing partnerships with six leading local distributors to establish more than 60 new showrooms nationwide. The announcement came during the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), reinforcing VinFast’s commitment to sustainable mobility and regional growth.
The newly signed distributors—Autoflare, Xentro Motors, Kar Asia, Semicon Motors, EV Tech, and Toncars—will play a pivotal role in VinFast’s dealership expansion, focusing on key regions such as Metro Manila, Quezon City, and other major cities across the archipelago.
A Major Rollout in Phases
Leading the charge is Autoflare, which plans to launch 20 showrooms in 2025, with five opening in Q2, ten in Q3, and five in Q4. Meanwhile, Xentro Motors will tap into its extensive mall network to develop at least 32 showrooms and will also unveil three 3S (Sales, Service, Spare parts) dealerships before the year ends.
EV Tech is set to open two showrooms, while Kar Asia, Semicon Motors, and Toncars will each contribute one dealership, adding to VinFast’s growing footprint in the country.
Premium Showroom Experience
VinFast’s new dealerships will adhere to global brand standards, featuring modern design, immersive product displays, and dedicated consultation and service areas. In addition, each location will be equipped with EV charging infrastructure, making electric mobility more accessible and convenient for Filipino consumers.
“Partnering with top distributors in the Philippines is a strategic step in VinFast’s journey to make electric vehicles more accessible throughout the region,” said Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales at VinFast. “With the support of these experienced local partners, we are confident in quickly building a strong distribution network that delivers comprehensive and distinctive experiences to customers.”
A Strategic Ecosystem for a Greener Future
This aggressive dealership rollout complements VinFast’s “For a Green Future” strategy, which aims to develop a comprehensive EV ecosystem in Southeast Asia. The company is also working closely with V-GREEN to expand the EV charging network, alongside investments in service center development.
VinFast’s strategic partnerships, diverse product offerings—including the recently launched VF 6—and attractive incentives such as free charging until 2027, collectively underscore its vision to become a global EV brand. With the Philippines identified as a key market, this expansion is a strong statement of the company’s long-term commitment to driving the nation’s green transition.
As VinFast continues its bold journey across Southeast Asia, its presence in the Philippines signals a pivotal shift in how electric vehicles will be distributed, serviced, and experienced—laying the groundwork for a cleaner, smarter transportation future.
